So now that I have the guns I want, (except for a .50BMG and a .300MAG), I want to get a Bow. However, I hear these are finicky little creatures, difficult at best, frustrating at worst. I was curious if there were any Bow-man on the forum that could help me learn what I need to know before I decide to go in yet another direction and start preparing for archery competition. Let me know if you're there, and then I'll start asking questions. Thanks!

Thanks for the info all...I'm getting a better idea now of what I ought be looking at. For now, I just got a flip-up rear sight so that I can go shooting and compete some more before investing in an optic that might not be right for me. However, Wakal...what's needed for dual optics? That looks sweet and is definately something that I want to do. All of your ARs are gorgeous, btw, nice job. Can you please offer some guidance on offsetting the red-dot so a scope can mount up top? I think that's what I saw on yours, though one of them looks like both the holographic sight and and the scope are upstairs. Please let me know, thanks!

I like the idea Stokstad. Assuming it would be minimal trouble for the moderators, that'd be sweet. We could always keep the calander keep updated with what's when, all they'd have to do is post the times and descriptions provided. Good thinkin'!
-
Speaking of which...for those of you that compete, what choke restriction do you use? Topmaul mentioned he had success with Full, but can I get away with a less-constricted pattern? Let me know, I have about 2 days before I have to order mine.
-
I ought be there too. I can't wait! Getting the gun threaded early next week for choke tubes, and since I'm already in the "open" class due to the mag-fed shotty, I'll be showing up with compensated choke tubes. Tighter patterns and no muzzle rise, hell yea! Team Saiga is gonna kick some a$$!
-
It's really a question of why does the Saiga have a detachable mag in the first place? Hint: It has to do with the fact that Remingtons always cost more than Saigas.
I'm interested! Do share...

Ok, so I'm going to admit my ignorance and just ask for help. I don't quite understand what MOA is. I think it's the size of the red-dot, but why is bigger, better?
To save some money (I gotta save up for a .50BMG now), I'd rather save $200 bucks and get a good optic, instead of a GREAT optic, so the EOTech and Aimpoint are no longer in the running.
Also, what's the advantages of a bed-panoramic optic vs. a tube design? Below are examples of bed vs. tube, since I don't know the right name for either.
Bed-panoramic:
Tube:
In general, if you mount directly to the flat-top, is it necessary to raise up the sight some? As with the Hakko Bed designs or the Hakko Tac-point? Or in general is it at the right height? Thanks for any more help that people can offer.

Thanks Indy. Does that scope give you a good enough field of vision and fast target aquisition? You said it was bright, but is it usable in low-light situations (near no-light)? I namely want this for 3-gun competition, and I don't see myself ever going over 100 yards with it, max, and usually it'll be 0-50 yards. Let me know if you get the chance, thanks for the help. And other people, feel free to give input too!

What up all? I'm getting even nearer to completion of my new AR. It's not going to be the fanciest gun in the world, but I'm still excited: it's a new toy for me, and one that I bult myself. And just so everyone knows, I realize that guns aren't toys, but you get my drift. It's something to play responsibly with, and it will mean that I'll be at even more competitions around SC, NC, VA, TN, etc. What I've got going on is a flat-top DPMS 5.56 chambered, 1:7" twist, 14.5" barreled complete upper, mounted to a RRA complete lower with a 6-position telescoping stock. So what I need now is a good optic to mount on it. I've seen the EOTechs and heard they're good, but I wanted to see what others might suggest to try. Also, should the optic be mounted towards the front of the lower or the rear of the lower, ie right by the handguard or by the stock? Please give any opinions or reviews you can offer! Thanks!!!
-
I'm anxious to see the optics mounted and the carnage possible once that is done! Please let me live vicariously through your .50caliber!!! I want one sooooo badly, let me know how you're liking yours. I think I like it even better than the Barretts: it's just more rifleish instead of Robocopish. Thanks

I wish I could read/speak russian. It's such a cool looking/sounding language. Maybe once I build my AR I'll make that my next project.

What's up? Sorry it's taken me awhile to post on this thread, but hopefully I'm not too out of date.
1) Not all the folders require cutting the tang. Some are made especially for the AK, other's are kind of fabricated to it. Unfortunately, I don't know the exacts about which are which.
2) The stuff on the Tapco has been covered well-replace the pin, you're golden.
3) Not all ACE folders have the funny bevel/tilt. Inparidel's is in plane with the barrel, and I like it better than mine.
4) Just to clear something up that I think might've been mis-communicated: the ACE isn't flimsy, that's the Tapco and only until the pin is replaced. However, to get a left-sided ACE folded, you do have to remove the tang. (At least I'm 99.9% sure you do).
JMAN, can you include a picture of the Russian left-hand folder? Thanks

Wassup y'all? I'm starting to build my AR, so I figured I ought start reading this forum. I wanted to thank y'all for the information, it's helped me already! I read all the pages posted by Indy, and on the bottom of the Sig-forum there's a link that has EVERYTHING imaginable about the two rounds (and then even more). I'd suggest skimming through it, I just spent an hour completely absorbed. Anyway, to make it easier to find, I'm linking it below, but thank Indy for the connection, and Vjor for looking out for everyone's safety. I definately don't want my brand new AR blowing up, but thankfully I got a 5.56 so I can shoot anything I want. And a 1:7" twist, I can shoot the long, heavy, accurate bullets. I can't wait to finish the build. Thanks y'all for the info. Seriously, check out the link, you'll sound like a genius if you know even a tenth of the info included.

which is the bulgy ak stock? are we talking triangular side-folder? or something different? i got the side folder and that buttpad didn't fit worth a damn. i filled mine with resin and molded it to fit the curvature of the stock so that it was a tight fit, but it was a pain in the rear and looks ghetto as hell if anyone sees it. let me know, maybe i should switch pads...
-
We'll all keep an eye out for it. I take this as seriously as a missing child report. Sorry to hear it, but maybe it will someday turn up. Does home-owners cover the loss?
-
Yep, that's what I like.
Nice job y'all! Now where to order? -
I think I like the simplistic design the best: no guns displayed. It makes it more of an inside thing. Not to mention, after our fellow forum member got fired from Home Depot for talking about owning a gun, I'm hesitant to show too much by displaying it everywhere. A nice slogan and the saiga symbol I think is subtle and sleek. Perhaps the symbol on the front breast with the zombie quote on the back. Except split up the quote so it might look something as follows:
When the zombies come...
Saiga
...what's in your closet???
Just my $.02. But I like everything that's been done, if nothing else it's great to see our pride being transferred to print so we can share with the world. Have a great one all.

Cobra, sick pistols. Kinda cowboyish, which is billy-bad-a$$, but when put together like that last picture, to me it screams "DIXIE"
. But I'm a Carolina kid, so I got South brewin' in my blood: not the crazy burning-cross kind, but the chivalrous-proud kind. Put a confederate flag in the background, and I could swear I've seen that picture on a belt buckle or a trucker's hat. In otherwords: sweet! Now if we could just find holsters for our Saigas... -
I'm lovin' this topic. I'm a fan of the Elmer Fudd, but I also like simplicity. Something like all black with the Saiga logo and a fun slogan: my vote goes for the zombie one! Nice call.

First off: sweet collection dannyboy! I know asking this on an AK forum is gonna get me in trouble , but I'm curious...I have always been under the impression that the AK-based rifle wasn't the most accurate thing in the world, but those family photos show some pretty nice looking scopes. Does the AK, Romak, Dragunov, etc. justify the need for good optics? Thanks for the info.
-
Inparidel...sweet gun, I've not yet seen it. You said that your stock is held in place by spring tension when folded? So kick doesn't knock it loose? And you have no problems with the side-mounted optics getting in the way? That's hot! I'd suggest looking into that Neubert. Another advantage of ACE is the extension buttpads. They absorb a ton of recoil, as well as lengthening the stock anywhere from .25"-1.5" if I remember correctly. Not to mention the cheek-pad that'll provide consistant cheek welds every shot making that Kobra give all it's worth. Dang, that thing is sweet Inparidel. Also, is that just a muzzle brake, or is that also choked? Thanks for the info.

Wow. Wow. Wow. That's gorgeous. I love the dragunov looking stock instead of the typical "robo-cop" construction commonly found on 50cals. Some day I'll have one of my own, but until then please let me live vicariously through you by posting some vids or at least comments on what it's like. Is that a single shot bolt action? Do you have to remove the bolt completely to load the next round, or just pull back the rack? Do you have an optic that can handle a BMG round? Accurate to ~5000', super shock-resistant, etc. And where are you shooting it? No ranges around me can accomodate something that nice. It'd be like showing up to a go-kart track in a ferrari enzo. Keep us posted, but
is all i gotta say.

Mine's a left-side folder and I love it, but my suggestion is not to do it. The following are the reasons that I advise against it:
1) It's a much harder installation, so be prepared for long hours and lots of frustration
2) It's an expensive stock, get something cheaper and put the money into something else cool like a FH/Brake.
3) You have to permanantly alter your gun: you will need to cut off the rear tang to get the folding-stock to fit, meaning that if you ever wanted to go to a different stock you'd have to weld a new tang on and it would never match up exactly correctly.
4) The side folder works great for an ak-47, but a 12-gauge is a bit different. Every shot will make the darn thing unlock from folded and swing out since the kick is so much greater. I'm still trying to figure out a way to keep mine shut when I shoot with it folded.
5) The stock is SHORT. It's made for russians in their super-thick siberian jackets, so unless you're 5'6" or under, it won't give you a comfortable cheek or shoulder weld.
6) Left hand folders fold across the optics mount, meaning if you ever want to have optics, you can't ever have it folded. This great cuts down on the versatility of it.
The main reasons to have it folded are to make it shorter and more mobile, and for badass appeal. However, the impracticalities of doing it don't justify the efforts needed in my mind. I like mine and I have it fitting me great now that I added a grenade launching buttpad that I had to modify to add about 2" extra to the stock. However, I never find myself shooting it folded. Not only because it swings open, but because there's no point. With an 18.5" barrel, it's a mobile gun, and I'll get much better shots on target shooting from the shoulder. I don't mean to be a negative-nancy, but this is just my $.02, I hope it helps in your decision.

Tack-driver! And a pretty one at that. Nice piece, but baby it, it's not quite as durable as a Glock. However, the fact that you can hit what you want consistantly without a DAO pull makes it so much better.
