the latch directly in front of the trigger is the original factory BHO. The button directly in front of the stock is the button that holds it in the locked position, and yes, the latch in front of the magwell is what holds it in the locked position.

the description said that it was a conversion, so i guess it isnt original. the flash hider still makes me wonder though...

HOOOOOOLLLDDD ON A SEC!!!! does this mean that they are now importing FACTORY PG configurations????? I mean, it says a converted one at the top of the thread, but that is the factory Izhmash flash hider on the end. i may be mistaken though...

hey tony, is there any way that you could do the pg conversion using the standard AK trigger guard instead of yours for the 350? i dunno what it is, but im more attracted to the old style. thanks Griz

do they have complete wood stock sets? i would love a wood stock and forend for my saiga

I use an sks sling. they are pretty good and work with the small sling mounts of the saiga. usually $5 or less at gun shows heres one right here. http://www.cdnninvestments.com/akslgrnewch.html

308 romak??? ive never seen or heard of these. do you have a link or something? that might be somthing i would be interested in...

it looks like it would work, you also might try a thermold m-14 mag. they are 30 bucks and arent that rare. plus that is the mag that is most widely converted. you might give it a try. here is a link where to buy them http://grizzlymike.com/accessories/magazines/Thermold.html

it could also be done by drifting out the pins on the fsb, sliding it down the barrel away from the muzzle, re-drilling pin-grooves, and then threading the barrel for the appropriate measure for the vortex. waaaaayyyy more work and messing around than i want to do.

the 9-13 is better for prone shooting, the 6-9 is better for benchrest

i have a 9-13 under the barrel, and i have one of rick's vortex style flash hiders, and it works fine for me. no melting or anything. you would have no problem with a 6-9

on mine the front site block is pinned on, not dimpled. that is how rick-16 was able to make pin-on flash hiders and thread adapters

there are also the rails on the follower that need to be trimmed. be very carevul with this, however, because if you cut off too much, the follower wont slide on the rails anymore and wont feed properly. there is nearly enough room in the mag for 9, so if you want to increase the capacity, i would suggest taking plastic off bit by but so just 10 fits perfectly with no overtravel in the follower. hope this helps-- Griz

The new importer already exists and their web site is completely up and running; they have a list of distrinutors who should be recieving new shipments in a couple weeks. www.raacfirearms.com

The SA is some of the most accurate surplus you can get. it is accurate and corrosion free. you may or may not have a little trouble feeding it through a bolt gun tho; the brass swells in my remington 700

the gas block and the piston length determine part of that, as do the rails that the bolt slide on. also, if the bolt is moved too far foreward, there is an issue of whether or not the hammer will strike the firing pin. that issue would not simply be able to be fixed by a longer hammer, because then there is the issue of the hammer having to fall past the center reciever support rivet.

what brg3 is saying is that if you move the trunion forward, the bolt, being too short, will not be able to meet up with the chamber anymore.

if you are lookin for better durability and accuracy, then yes, the bolt is the way to go. for the barrett is good all around, but not the best tac driving 50. Accuracy International just came out with their own semi called the AS 50, and the navy seals are considering/have switched to it. http://www.network54.com/Forum/211833/thre...Rifle+for+SEALs pretty sweet, but costs like twice the barrett. any luck with the aimpoint? Griz

i would have saved up a few more g's to get the Accuracy International AW50. So much better than the barrett. As for the aimpoint, make sure whatyou are getting is Parrallax FREE. You dont want parallax in combat=bad. Its managable if you are doin CQB, but be careful when you stretch it out a few rooftops. Make sure you are lookin STRAIGHT down the tube, or the dot will move. it is my understanding that, all aimpoints are parallax free.

look in the forum for a thread titled saiga 308 hi cap mags, started by a guy named daewoo. cpileri updated a list of how many mags people would want. look at that. im sure if mags were out there, people would buy them. griz

actually GOB, that is the tigr with a sporter stock. it is in 7.62x54r, 308, and 9.3x64. The saiga 100 is the one in .30'06.

yea they would sell---i would probably take a couple. if they run out will you make some on request?

well i have a brake from rick, and they are pinned and have set screws. the problem is that the diameter of your adapter is a bit bigger than your barrel. the same thing happened to mine. the wabble knocked the set screw loose, and the slots from the pins ripped off. i called rick with the calipered dimensions for my muzzle, and he made one for that exact diameter for free. you should do the same. im pretty sure it will work

never happens with mine---im pretty sure thats not why it dents them

thats some kick ass stuff you got goin there brg3. now if i could only find a wood stock...(i dont have the pg conversion)
