FAB Defense AK47-Handguards. For Saiga usualy needs small file-work to fit (The same experience with VFR-AK also from FAB).

Better to check it, you never know what is happening on the assembly line @ Izhevsk :-). My 12,5inch barrel has 1:10, but a few guys here have 16inch barrels and 1:12 twist.

My "baby" AK102. A few things still to do - G2 FCG (waiting in drawer), safety lever modification and removable cheek rest (No idea how to do it, yet. Any hint appreciated)

Aha, the one I saw (big diameter round profile on the guiding side) was different made, no Dinzag, then.

Looks like I was too optimistic with flawless function of adjusted 223 AK5 MagPuls. Recent range session, last round from the mag did not get into the chamber - almost each time. No stuck, no jam, just staying in the mag. A few theories resp. assumptions: A: Outside temperature: As it was my first outdoor shooting in winter conditions (-5 °C) and it never happend in warmer enviroment - different elasticity of mag lips B: Dinzag guide: I have flat version, round version might provide better guidance C: Different position of last round against feeding mechanism (improper shape of mag followe

Howdy saigafreake & everyone If you hold appropriate gun permit, you can buy any semi-auto which is stamped by Government Weapons Certificion & Testing Office or by equal foreign body. Our gun-law is pretty liberal for Europe, but we are going to be afraid of impact of bureaucrats from Brussels (EEC). You can apply statutory exception request for full-auto, but it is only theory. Never seen anybody given with this permit. The most popular military-looking rifles are clones of Czech VZ58 mainly because they are the cheapest ones on the market, well built and tons of 7.62x39 surplus

I,ve got the ones marked with AK-A5 on the tag. Up to 10 minutes of file work on three places (file down a bit on front-top, deeper recess giving more space for bolt carrier, thin down the rear mag catch) plus Dinzag flat trunnion bullet guide. Works perfect. The reason for such a solution -> Factory 30rd mags cost here around USD 100, orlites&bulgies not available. Good value for money, I guess.
