Nope. I just tried it on my 16" saiga 308. Too tight on the exterior base of the barrel. I marked it up trying. Maybe you could get it on there if you didn't mind bending the heat shield, but I didn't want something on there that tight. I came to the conclusion that I'd only be able to get it on there with a mallet. I hope this is useful information. So are you saying the chamber area of the barrel is too fat to fit into the aluminum sub chassis on the Zhukov? Would the barrel clamps attach OK to the barrel? Post some pics if you could.

Alumahyde II works well. If you have access to a bead blaster cabinet that would work the best using aluminum oxide then soak them in a phosphoric acid solution like Prep and Etch from Home Depot or Lowes. After that coat them with the Alumahyde. Even better use GunKote and spray and bake. Don't waste your money on the Krylon stuff, solvents will dissolve that stuff in short order.

When will the 20 rounders for the Saiga 308 be available again, site shows none in stock. What happend to the nitrided mag, are they no longer offered?

How the heck do you edit postings these days?

Just make sure if you want the point of impact to move to the left, you want to move the front sight post to the right. This would be opposite to what the windage adjustment on a rear sight would be.

EAA import Saiga 308 with Ace AR folder adapter, Magpul CTR stock with cheek riser & ASAP sling attachment, Hogue grip, Surefire forearm. Scope is a Belarus 6X. I need to get something on the end of the barrel.

I would like to suggest black manganese phosphate for a finish. And if one were so inclined they could use GunKote or Moly Resin to paint them to match whatever finish they have on thieir rifle. The manganese phosphate is far superior to black oxide for corrosion resistance. The phosphate has a spongelike structure to it and the oil is absorbed into it.

Only thing I'd use grease on the AK is the cam lobe on the bolt and its slot in the carrier. I'm sure you could use most any grease you like. Everyone probably has their own personal preference.

Do the .223 Saiga's at CFS have the mag dimples? The one on the website does not. Anyone got one from them lately and are they with or without mag dimples? Thanks.

That's the way I do mine. But I use the flat steel surface of a tablesaw. Either way it works.

Sorry about the confusion here. I updated some shipping costs on the small parts, the problem should be resolved for this type of an order. Thanks for fixing that. Order has been placed.

Why's the shipping so expensive? For example shipping on a complete mag is 5.95 which is reasonable. You add a single mag base plate and it goes to 10.95. Add a rebuild kit and it goes to 15.85. Add a follower and you are at $20.80 for shipping. Is there something wrong with shipping calculator for online purchases?

Just don't get it wet. Maybe some plywood might work better.

The big head rivet you speak of is primarily found on Arsenal (of Las Vegas) rifles. This rivet head is to work in conjunction with their no-slap trigger group. Typically you use a standard rivet with the head pointing down and you musroom the shank of the rivet inside the receiver. On the Arsenal guns the fat head rivet, which has a cylindrical head instead of the domed head, goes on the inside of the receiver and the shank that sticks out by the trigger guard is mushroomed. I think only the Arsenal trigger group will interface with the cylindrical head rivet. Note the little ledge on

The Valmet case buffer works too albeit somewhat more expensive. Valmet port buffer

I've thought this one looked ok from Global Trades...

The stock is an ATI.

Just got an email from FBMG that states the following: FBMG is proud to announce that we now have several hundred 20rd mags in stock for the 308 Saiga's. We will now have these on hand for fast delivery. You may order them on the website!

I have a Pro 2000 and it works very well for me. I upgraded from a single stage RCBS jr press a few years back. I found the Dillon presses were more expensive and some models were specific to pistol rounds only and I already had all RCBS equipment so I wanted to be fully compatible with what I had, with the exception of the shell plates. The only manual part is having to rotate the shell plate after each cycle of the press. I think the Dillon may do that automatically. I have had one part break and RCBS replaced it right away, no charge.

If the mag body pre orders are filled and the Russian followers have not yet arrived will the mag bodies be made available for sale to others that want them?

Just curious are these actually injection molded off the tool or are they cast? I do not mean to offend but they do not look as if they have been molded from a machined tool.

I drilled mine out and slightly deeper to accept the Saiga spring. I also modified the Tapco hammer by grinding to a similar profile of the Saiga hammer. Works great.

I used the dremel sanding drum and sanded until the metal was paper thin then I tore the piece off. Then I used a belt sander to smooth out the 2 spot welds and i ground the rivets flush so there were no holes. Just take your time and go slow.

What nationality was your safety from and did the arc line up?
