Heya Peeps, I don't want "What everyone knows" or some person trying to make everyone think they know everything by being inscrutible......I want someone that has experience with the actual mag in question to relate same. Anything else is conjecture and supposition...or in the case of your assumption about Nalioth's motives...self promotion. Does anyone have firsthand experience of using these mags for the SAR/AK in the saiga? promag sells magazines for AR's and I have never heard anyone complain about those magazines, so it's not necessarily a given that EVERYTHING they make is a

Heya Peeps, -1 for wiseass remarks and no real information to add. I am sure many people have experienced companies that make some good products and some not so good products....any company can build a lemon once in a while. In deference to Nalioth's previous contributions I'll refrain from making a troll comment here. Anyone out there with anything USEFUL to add to the discussion? Jeff Waite aka GIJeff

Heya Peeps, I know everyone says the Pro Mag magazines built specifically for the Saiga .223 suck monkey balls.....but has anyone ever tried modding the standard .223 AK Pro Mag mags for use in the Saiga .223? I have read reviews on the product that say it sometimes works without a bullet guide and only requires some filing on the rear mag catch. GIJeff

Heya Peeps, Do you guys full length resize for the Saiga or just neck size? Reason I asked is I bought a "classic lee loader kit" to try out and have heard that semi-autos don't much like it if you don't full length resize. Jeff Waite aka GIJeff

Heya Peeps, Well I got the scope mount solid now and it is shooting about 1.5-2.5 inch groups pretty regular with the cheapest ammo money can buy....the poly coated steel cased wolf ammo, fmj, not hp. I can't wait to get some loadable brass and a lee loader to start playing around finding out what load she REALLY likes. Considering the cheapness of the ammo, I'm pretty well satisfied with those groups....they were all vertically strung, which indicates velocity differences as the likely culprit. Given the quality control likely with such cheap ammo...I have no complaints. I know I

Heya Peeps, I didn't move my trigger group and LOVE the rifle the way it currently is. I have the "skeletonized stock" that comes stock from the factory. My trigger acts like a two stage trigger, with the first stage being a bit heavier than the first stage of my K-31 swiss rifle (stupendous trigger on the K-31 btw). It's a bit creepy, but there are definite separations between the two stages. The final stage is quite crisp and I have NO problems with it whatsoever. The second stage is a tad heavier than my K-31, I'd say bout 3-3.5 lbs. I LIKE this trigger. My customizations a

Heya Peeps, Yeah, what HE said. Obviously the previous poster didn't understand my intentions or logic. I suspect possibly deliberately. Of course barrel whip exists, but seeing it with the naked eye......highly doubtful. Holywood magic?.....no just optical illusion. I never suggested that someone had doctored the tape, just that the barrel cannot be moving as much as it appears to in the video so some element of that must be optical illusion. As to the barrel strut stuff, I do find it interesting that companies are doing the exact opposite now of what was and is conventi

Heya Peeps, I must have gotten REALLY lucky then, because while creepy in the first stage, I find my trigger not only acceptable, but damned good. I have a Swiss K-31 that has a match grade two stage trigger, and while the Saiga's is not nearly THAT good, it is far better than my other surplus rifles, and I'm quite satisfied with it as is without conversion to PG. I suppose it's safe to say your mileage may vary. Jeff Waite aka GIJeff

Heya Peeps, Went to that page, they are talking about .0039 movement in the largest of those measurements.....do you KNOW how small that is? That is three to four THOUSANTHS of an inch. You cannot discern that with your naked eye. Also I didn't say the barrel doesn't move, I said it doesn't move enough for you to see it which your data backs up. I have seen that other video as well and am convinced that the barrel cannot be moving as much as it appears to, it's possible the cleaning rod is moving and creating an optical illusion, or that the occilation is doing the same pe

Heya Peeps, The video you are referring to is the exact same video I was discussing. While barrels do have a resonance when fired, let's just approach this from a physics point of view for a second......what force when a bullet is fired would cause the barrel to move UP AND DOWN? Force comes from the bullet firing, and is pretty much as concentric as it can be made with our current technology. The barrel is round, as is the bolt, bullet, and cartridge case......so according to the laws of physics the force should be equalized along the full inside surface of the barrel that

Heya Peeps, Anyone ever do the pencil bending magic trick? You take a pencil and hold it between two fingers and move your hand up and down just right and the pencil will LOOK like it's bending. I suspect the video you're refering to, which I have seen is nothing more than the same principal applied to a weapon barrel. I very much doubt either the 7.62 or .223 round has enough umph to do much to the barrel in a lateral direction, and very little in terms of any other direction. The recoil of the weapon and the manner of holding it simply caused the optical illusion that the barrel

Heya Peeps, This weekend I should have it out to the range to sight it in, I took it last weekend but I had issues with the scope being loose on the mount, had to get the right allen wrench to tighten it up. It's snug as a bug in a rug now, so we shall see. Before I discovered the loose mount I had a few groups that were well under two inches, but given the loose mount I can't definitively say anything much about the accuracy. Jeff Waite aka GIJeff

Heyas, The UTG mount is dead center imho, or at least close enough a tool and die man can't tell the difference, and yes it is the quick release model. As to the scope....It's an NC-Star... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...e=STRK:MEWNX:IT It is a pretty nice scope for it's intended purpose. I have a scope that is 1/8th inch clicks on my sub MOA rifle, I haven't yet determined how accurate this rifle can be. This scope is adequate for it's intended purpose, 100-300 meters, possibly out to 500 if you're feeling lucky. Clicks on this scope are 1/2 inch at 100 yards. H

Heya Peeps, Bought the Saiga .223 from Paul Youngquist, fully satisfied with the purchase. I got the skeletonized stock, or the "dragunov style stock" which I love to death. No plans to convert to a pistol grip configuration. I like the trigger fine the way it is, it's a bit creepy in the first stage, but once the sear is engaged it's crisp like few other rifles I've owned. I added a UTG 978 side scope mount, Tried my red dot sight on it and that was nice but I wanted magnification and didn't want to absolutely have to rely on batteries. Bought an NC-Star 3-9X42 scope,

Heya Peeps, I just ordered some stuff from CSS this morning, and the website said it'd be shipped USPS priority mail. Well our mailbox at work, where I have items shipped to, is kind of small and the post office would almost certainly have delayed delivery rather than doing something sensible..... So I asked CSS by email to ship the order UPS using the confirmation number as a reference. Now though I asked for an accomodation, I truly didn't expect any action....the item could get to me by USPS and it's a departure from their normal procedure so I asked because I figured
