  1. .308 ammo

    in Saiga .308

    Posted

    Hey, I am able to get some surplus .308 and don't know if its good or not.

     

    The first bunch of stuff is apparently made in England with a headstamp WA80 7.62 R1M1

     

    The other stuff has a headstamp R685

     

    If anybody has any info it would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    Larry, you and I obviously think alike, because I had that same idea! I even have the Choate stock and black furnature on my S-.308 22", I'm just mustering the strength to cut that damn cover plate off the receiver and drop a RSA trigger into it. Ya know, if we lived closer we might just be shootin' buddies ^_^ Great looking guns man. :up:

    Hey, Welcome to the Forum!! Always great to meet new people.

     

    So, right off the bat, here are a few things to get you started:

     

    1.) Ammo - Sportsman's Guide has Wolf .308 for 7 bucks a box, but you gotta buy it in bulk (500 or 1,000 rounds) Shipping ain't bad though.

     

    http://www.sportsmansguide.com/cb/cb.asp?a=282659

     

    2.) Rifle Stocks - An esteemed member of this forum, BattleRifleG3 makes custom stock sets for Saigas either converted to pistol grip configuration, or sporter configuration. Here's a link to his page:

     

    http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?showtopic=9471

     

    3.) Muzzle Attachments - Now, you can either have a gunsmith weld you on a brake/flash hider (my 'smith will do it for around 60 bucks), get the barrel threaded (which can get expensive) or, you can check out Dinzag's stuff right here that doesn't require much "surgery" on your rifle:

     

    http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?showto...mp;#entry110152

     

    4.) For conversion questions, or anything else in particular about the Saiga rifles, especially the Saiga shotguns, talk to Cobra 76 two. He's a veritable expert on the Saiga-12. Here's his page right here:

     

    http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?showuser=1293

     

    So, that ought to do ya for awhile. Check that stuff out, and get in contact with all of us here if you have any questions. Have fun with that rifle, and happy shooting!

  5. How comfortable is it?

    in Saiga .308

    As far as this stock goes, I would buy one for my unconverted Saiga-12, just because it has a trigger that resembles somewhat of a normal trigger. (ie - doesn't pull like upside-down crap) But as for my Saiga-.308, its getting the Pistol Grip treatment. I figure if I put on a Dragunov stock and an RSA trigger it'll be sweeter than candy. And she's pretty damn sweet ;)

  8. WTB Saiga 308-2 buttstock or equivalent

    in Want To Buy (WTB)

    Posted · Edited by Maniac Jack

    I am seriously looking for for a Saiga 308-2 buttstock. The one that fits a pistol-gripped Saiga. I've looked all over at the other ones and nothing but that one strikes my fancy. I know someone has to have one. I mean they made that rifle, right? I would be satisfied if someone could make me one that was close to what it looks like. I would pay a pretty penny for something like that. Here's a pic to give you an idea:

     

    Thanks

  10. Who had the pin-on muzzlebrakes forthe S-.308?

    in Saiga .308

    Posted

    I saw awhile back a pin-on vortex flash hider and pin-on adapter with left-hand threads. The unit slipped right over the FSB and pinned on through one of the FSB pin holes. Who was making those and how do I get ahold of them?

     

    Also, if anybody has any cost-effective ways of getting a combination muzzlebrake and flash hider on the end of my S-.308s without threading the barrel PM me. Please. I'm looking for a good quality brake and flash hider I can permanently put on and not have to worry about again, so if anybody has any ideas please drop me a line. Thanks

  11. 308 Conversion?

    in Saiga .308

    Posted

    I was looking for a solution to that very problem, the long creepy trigger pull. I figured if I could get my gun smith to drill two holes in the receiver the same size and position of the ones in my Saiga 12 I could just drop in my old trigger group from my Saiag 12 when I converted it. What you think? Is it worth trying?

  12. .308 choices, choices, choices

    in Saiga .308

    Posted

    Hey fellas, got a question that will peak your interest. Now before I ask it, I have to confess: I am the owner of two (2), count 'em, two Saiga .308s. One shorty pistol grip and one 22in sporter. They are everything I could want out of a semi-auto .308, except for the limited capacity mag. So, I know a lot of you are big into FALs, so my question is this: If money was not an object, what would be the best FAL to buy, accounting for reliability, accuracy, funtionality, etc. And also, the same question is applied if money was an object, with a roof of about $800. Enlighten me.

  16. Saiga .308 conversion to Saiga 12 trigger group

    in Saiga .308

    Posted

    Hey fellas,

     

    I talked to my gunsmith and he said he can measure the holes and cut them for the trigger group but I gotta put the trigger group in. The thing is, I like the feel of the Saiga 12 trigger group better than the .308 trigger group. Mainly, 'cause it pulls more like a regular AK trigger rather than up and back. So, I figure I'll use my unconverted S-.308 as a test subject for a trigger group transplant and see how it shoots. As far as I can tell, no one's done this, so as far as I can tell I'm breaking new ground on this. What'd you think?

  18. Mag Conversions!!!!

    in Saiga .308

    Posted

    Hey fellas. Ok, I know there have been a couple people who have SUCESSFULLY converted M14 mags to work with the Saiga .308. So, this is what I need from you guys: Either somebody get with me on this, 'cuz I will pay someone to do a couple conversions on some mags, and I'll pay pretty damn good.

    Either that, or whoever knows just come out and tell me how the hell you do it. Thanks.

  19. Another Choke and Barrel question

    in Saiga-12

    Posted

    Well, I like the idea of an adjustable choke. I was looking in the new Cabella's catalog and spotted this one called Pollychoke, its adjustable from Xtra-Full to cylinder bore and says it handles slugs Heavi-Shot and steel. If I get my barrel threaded I can go with that. I'm just not sure which type of threads to go with. Remmington, Browning, Mossberg, etc.

  22. Another Choke and Barrel question

    in Saiga-12

    Posted

    So, I have a Saiga 12 with a 19" barrel and no threads. I've heard that the models with the 19" barrel AND threads are not choked, and that the models with 22" barrel without threads is FULL CHOKE.

     

    So, my question is, with my barrel being 19" with NO THREADS, where does that put me as far as choke is concerned? How can I tell if its choked or not? Thanks.

  23. Question about Chokes, Shot and Slugs

    in Saiga-12

    Posted

    Hey everybody, just had a question, still learning a lot about shotguns in general.

     

    The question is this: I've heard of people shooting slugs through full choke barrels, both Saigas and other brands of shotguns. So, I thought its only safe to shoot slugs out of a no-choke/open-choke barrel or improved cylindar.

     

    What is the difference between the different types of shotgun barrels and what is the skivvy on which kind of choke to use when firing slugs? Thanks.

  24. Saiga Choked or No Choke

    in Saiga-12

    Posted

    I had a bit of a question about Saigas and chokes. How can you tell if your S-12 is choked or not? The dealer I bought mine from told me it a no choke model, but there isn't any identifying marks to say that it is or isn't. So how do you tell?

     

    Another question I had was, if anybody has fired this brand yet: I bought some Remington "Slugger 1oz. Max" slugs in both 2 3/4" and 3" I've never fired slugs out of it before and was just wondering how these things are gonna perform. Any info would be much appreciated.

  25. Trigger group question

    in Saiga .308

    Posted

    So, I've got a Saiga-.308 and a Saiga-12 now. I've noticed that the trigger groups are different. I've known how they were different before, its just that now I can see them side by side.

     

    This is the thing: My S-12 is a shorty 19" barrel and needs a pistol grippin' somethin' fierce. And I love my S-.308's wood stock too much to pistol grip it, but I DO like how the trigger group works on my S-12.

     

    So it comes down to this: I wanna PG my S-12 and put the trigger group from it into my S-.308. The only thing is, I haven't heard of anybody ever doing that. (Everybody's just "Pistol Grip Happy" around here :rolleyes: )

     

    So, the question is: Can it be done, or has it ever been done? Thanks.
