  1. Damn wish Id actually bought a 16" when they were only $499 now they are asking insane prices still havent cut mine down as there seems to be no definite answer either way as to which is better. All I know is from the 16" 308s I have seen at night they toss a pretty good fireball which implies wasted powder.
  2. I have a Ultimak and hate it, it defeats one one the best qualities of the AK. Once installed tools and time are required to break the gun down for cleaning. Plus it gets real hot and I mean hot it cooked my EOtech causing reticle to fade completely.
  3. How can people watch his videos? He does a 2 hour video on a single knife while creating 45 acronyms that only he understands. The guy is a tool 100% he is a prime example of why I hate google tube, its nothing more than paid commercials now.
  4. I figure I paid $50 per mag, $50 for side rail mount, $150 for butt stock and buffer tube, $75 for parts to move FCG forward, $150 for scope, $50 for bipod so all added up thats over $600 in extras on the rifle, I paid $550 for the rifle to start with so id be losing $150 in the deal which is why I declined. Im just wondering with the problems at the factory if you guys have seen prices increase in your area or if you can even find a 308 saiga 22"
  5. I was at the range today with my Saiga long barrel its pretty much stock. I moved FCG back where it belongs and added an AR style metal buffer tube and butt stock, with side rail and a cheap scope ($150), 3 20 round surefire mags. To the point a guy next to me offered me $1000 for my rifle I declined but took his number. As I dont really care for the long barrel I might sell it to him then buy a 16" what do you all think?
  6. 7.62X39 for 2 legged soft threats/animals 308 for 4 legged threats/animals
  7. My WASRs all shoot great no problems at all dont let the gun snobs talk you out of one. An AK is very basic no need to spend $1000 and up. With the WASR you get side rail, chrome lined barrel, G2 trigger. To me the WASR is the definition of an AK cheap, simple, works enough said.
  8. AKs just are not as inaccurate as everyone thinks (single shot only) the longest range i have ever shot my WASR at has been 300yds and it could ring plates at that distance and that was a very cheap AK with a short barrel. The long barrel 308 is very accurate, the problem with AKs is their sights they outright suck. Toss a scope on and you see huge improvements right away. Once you take the human factor out of the equation it comes down to ammo and barrel I have had all my barrels re-crowned which helped a lot, all it takes is a very small chip to really mess with the bullet.
  9. classicarms is listing the draco as in stock $429
  10. Its a toss up the mini does not have common parts but the regular Draco is so close in length to a standard AK with folding stock it almost doesnt seem worth it to me to spend $450 for the Draco plus $200 to put a stock on it, when I already have an AK with a folder on it that is only 4.5 inches longer.
  11. Everyone seems to think of AKs as not very accurate, my 308 can shoot just as well as my deer rifle @200 yds. This is the longest range near me. Unless you start getting into match grade fluted free floating bull barrels with a super clean trigger the accuracy of all modern firearms is pretty damn good.
  12. im just asking how as the bullet leaves before the carrier hits the receiver so how much more accurate can a bolt be in a single shot situation?
  13. im talking about a single shot, if you do rapid fire then yes I could see the weight of the bolt carrier hurting accuracy. but on a single shot the bullet leaves the barrel before the bolt carrier slams against the receiver
  14. Question why is a manually operated bolt more accurate than a semi-auto? I understand that the bolt carrier slamming against the receiver does effect accuracy.But id think that by the time the bolt carrier slammed against the receiver the bullet will have already left the barrel of say a 16"-20".
  15. Im wondering if the long barrel 308 has a thicker barrel than the short one. If it does then you would get far more accuracy from a cut down long barrel as it will be stiffer and have far less flex.
  16. The problem is very simple in The United States we have a huge percentage of the population living off of others be it the super rich or those who live out their lives on social aid programs. This country was great because at one time if you worked hard you could make a good life for you and your family. Sadly today that is not the case the more you make the more they take. The truth is today you are almost better off not working as you can receive food stamps, reduced utilities, reduced daycare, free medical, SEC 8, HUD housing, and believe it or not they even offer free cell phones. Too many
  17. Id say we are not getting the whole story here, when you only hear one side you are left with only half the information. Doctors like everyone else are scared of getting sued. If you tell your doctor you want to die dont be shocked at what happens. Personally with all this big brother sh!t today I have contact with as few people as possible with any connection to any level of government be it county, civil, law enforcement, what ever. When forced to do so provide quick short answers and get the hell out of there. From my experience people with any level of authority or power let it go to thei
  18. Id like to get a mini but they are hard to find...been on the fence between the draco and mini with the draco it is only 4.5" shorter. For me that is not really worth the $200 stamp to add a stock on it. Now the mini on the other hand, from what I have read you really dont see too much of a difference in FPS. These werent made for anything past 100yds anyways. For me the prices are just way too high for these SBR AKs, I saw a Yugo M92 parts kit by Vector Arms going for $1500 at my local gun store thats crazy.
  19. I'd wager that the chrome could start chipping off seeing as the barrel will be cut then recrowned, I have been on the fence about cutting mine down and just cant decide. It will cost about $150-$200 to cut and crown my problem is not the money it is I just don't trust anyone to work on my guns. Just like my vehicles I have never taken any of my vehicles to a mechanic id rather do the work myself and know it was done right. As I dont have the tools to cut and crown my barrel I think im honestly going to just buy another short barrel 308 for $499.
  20. I was going to pick up some ProMags but came across this thread havent checked your website in a long time last time I checked you were out, think ill have to pick up a few 20 rd mags. I'll take steel over plastic any day!
  21. Id pass on Tapco unless its a fixed stock I tried the T6 stock and it just couldnt hold up to the 308. After a few range trips there was a huge amount of play where the pin locked the stock into position then after awhile the stock would collapse after a full mag of rapid fire. I have since bolted on a CAA 6 position and couldnt be happier with it. The reason I went with a 6 position is one ease of transportation and two eye relief when switching between scope and irons
  22. Placed my first order with them Friday received shipping confirmation Sunday.... fast shipping for sure!
  23. That is my main reason for not going with the 16" because most people add a flash hider which will increase your length to 18"if not more. Id much rather have 3-6" of extra barrel which will increase velocity. Id say 600yds is asking a lot of the Saiga maybe with a bolt action 308
  24. I dont really intend to ever fire it with the stock folded as it is the long barrel, I just wanted the stock to be able to lock into place when folded....so left folders are out because of the side mounted optics. Although it would be nice to know the rifle could still function when folded to the right. Thanks for the tip on the spacer now I will have to rethink my options, I really dont want to add any more to the closet I have full of stocks, grips, optics, rails, etc that just didnt really work out for me.
