  2. Bullet Guide installation

    in Conversions and Modifications for the Saiga firearms

    Posted

    The reason those guides have the low angled ramp is they were designed to feed Galil Orlites.

    (in addition to other mags)

     

    They are 3/16" thick, about twice as thick as standard 223 ak guides which do not feed orlites.

     

    Also these are designed to work with most of the cheap mil-surp mags, not the factory mags or surefire mags. Those mags need the raised section removed in the center front to look like the mil-surp mags. A factory mag will not click in.

  3. Bullet Guide Help

    Putting in a Dinzag 7.62x39 bullet guide I know which way it goes in, but in the install guide on the Dinzag website says to line it up with a step in the trunnion, I don't know what hes talking about, it also says the screw goes at about the 4 o clock position is that from the back or front?

     

    Basically I'm confused and any one who might have a picture of where its supposed to go or can explain more clearly.

     

    Please Help.

     

     

    Thanks all.

     

    Weaz,

     

    Picture the face of the barrel as a clock - muzzle facing away and looking where the bullet enters.

     

    Line the right-hand edge of the guide with the step in the barrel face - 4 o'clock position.

     

    Screw goes bottom dead center (6 o'clock position of the barrel face)

  11. Belt Fed?

    Isn't that just a bandoleer fed through the mag hole?

     

    Yeah, that's all it is. Pretty funny though.

    That was an April fools joke I played on the guys a couple of years ago...lol.

     

    Huh? :unsure: WTF dude, let me in on the joke next time eh? SHeesh.

    I've sent like 20 dudes to you for the conversion parts.

    (heads to site to remove pic...)

  14. Help! What Safety/Selector??

    in Tech Section

    Posted

    I haven't tried them, but blackjackbuffers now sells a "Saiga" selector. I'm assuming the divot is a little closer to the Saiga location than their other models. (for the receiver swipe)

     

    I have noticed even Saiga to Saiga some of those are a little off from each other.

     

    If someone tries one out, post your findings. :up:

  16. Has anyone encountered any problems with Dinzag's slip on muzzle b

    Your best option is threading. It's pretty much the same cost as well.

     

    A couple guys have had problems with them coming loose.

     

    The set-screw ones require you to do a couple things for proper installation, outlined in their instructions. My test rifle has hundreds and hundreds of rounds through it and it's never came loose. I tried to take it off but the heads of the screws want to strip out. Loctite needs to be heated up.

     

    If you don't feel comfortable with installing it yourself or threading the barrel, have a professional do it.

     

    I had a guy have one a few thousands too small for his shroud and I opened it up a little. I have several FSB's I've saved that are at opposite ends of the size range. If you or anyone have any fitment problems or other issues, let me know, we'll get you taken care of. :up:

     

    The set screw brakes are overbored to 0.43", which is probably overkill, but the bullet should never strike it. As such their performance is affected as a compensator. The tightest clearance will give you the best effect. If you are looking for maximum recoil reduction, thread it.

  17. S-12 barrel cut and thread

    in Conversions and Modifications for the Saiga firearms

    I tried a go at it with the pipe cutter, crumbled 2 bits. Don't bother. It is good for scribing a cut line though. :up: Them barrels are pretty tough and thick.

     

    Personally I prefer the abrasive chop saw or hack saw method.

     

    If you get it straight, file it clean & deburr.

     

    If you think it's not square you can use the crown tool to be certain it is flat, but on a shotgun, I don't think that is overly crucial. Not like a high pressure rifle.

     

    Threading kit rental includes die, holder & tat. All you will need is cutting fluid and elbow grease.

  23. e-clips

    in Tech Section

    Posted

    I prefer the e-clips myself, I have a set of mini pliers & they pop right on.

    A mini-screw driver will pop them off.

     

    Everyone prefers something different. I'm always tearing mine apart and reassembling and I've found those to be the quickest for me. I've never had them come off during use either.

     

    If they get bent or damaged on install they could come off.

  24. Just received my bullet guide

    Hey guys, sorry I missed this thread. My PC motherboard fried so I had to borrow a friends short term and only had email.

     

    Res, I sent you a voucher sice you fixed it & all the others (22_shooter & others) a replacement guide and a discount voucher.

     

    Sorry about the fitment issues. I know some of you had planned to get to your installs right away. I failed to inspect them being in a rush. All set now and thank you all for your patience. Especially over the holidays.
