I get 1.5-2 MOA now that I have switched from the M118LR with 175gr. bullets to the lighter 147gr.-155gr. handloads on once fired M118LR match brass. I have done some massaging to the rifle to get it to do that though, plus I have had thousands of rounds down range since I was 5 years old. Grew up in WV, dad was hardcore military man, so I have had plenty of practice, but I'm still not as good as I should be. But I am very pleased with 1.5-2 MOA, thats the same as my Armalite AR10A2 with 20" brl, half the price. Saiga has the 21" brl. Nh

I was wondering if anyone has installed one of these, I have thought about installing one on my 308. Because I am waiting for a new .30cal silencer. They have one for .592 dia. and .610 dia. barrels, which I need to get the caliper out to check out my S-308 barrel. I don't know what the O.D. is on it. But I happened across this and thought it mat be interesting. Thanks for looking. BTW, the website is dezarms.com.

Hello every one, I am looking for someone to make a custom stock for me. The stock is from a very rare FN 30-11 sniper rifle that is based on an FN mauser action. I just need someone to do the general shaping and inletting of this stock. I would supply the blank and would be willing to cover whatever charges it would take to make this stock. I just need it shaped and inletted for a standard mauser action, I would finish it, install the hardware, and do the final fitting and inletting. Below is the link to some pics of the stock, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Nh http://www

Thanks for the info. The mod worked great for all three 8rd. mags I have. I work in engineering and I have to say your measurements were very exact. Nice job, I recommend this to anyone who is interested. Nh

Awesome, thanks very much. I'll give them a shout and see what they say. Nh

I had thought about that, but like you said the chrome lined bore will be hard to ream, and I don't know what effect it would have on the throat, where the newly reamed chamber meets the old chrome lining. If I do decide to have a new barrel made for it I will use the same reamer that SA uses on their M1A match chambers. Because as you mentioned, a tight chamber won't work in a semi, with a bolt rifle is one thing, but it would be bad to have an out of battery incident because of the case not going into the tight chamber. Which is one of the problems I've been thinking of. Thanks very much for

Yeah, that's pretty interesting. I can't decide if I like it or not, I like the concept of it though.

After some research, I am going to try some lighter bullets. I have read that the S-308 has a twist rate of around 1:12 +/-, I have been shooting my M118LR loads in it with 175gr. bullets. I bet I could get better accuracy out of a 147-150gr. VLD or something like that. I'll work up some loads on my Match brass and see what I find out. I've been getting 2.75" - 3.25" groups with the M118LR. I don't see how it could hurt to use lighter bullets with that slower twist. I guess I'm used to the faster twist on the M1A's. I'll post some info. on the project when I'm done. Thanks. Nh

Hey, if you could, please let e know who turned the barrel for you, or if you did it yourself. I am looking for someone to do a barrel like this for me. Thanks.

What is this thing? http://test.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=153442536 It says a Saiga 308 with a 1919 barrel, I've never seen anything like it. Crazy?

This is exactly what I'm looking to do, except I want to stay with the original barrel profile,"O.D." so I can use factory gas blocks. If anyone on the forum has the equipment to manufacture a quality barrel, please let me know if you can make this type of barrel for me. I will buy the reamers, and all the tooling needed to complete the project. http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?showtopic=31241 I would like to enter a Saiga into the Service Rifle competitions, and also give an option to those who want better accuracy out of their S-308's. If I can find someone to do one of these, I

Hey everyone, I was just wanting to say a couple of things about my post. I was not knocking the Saiga 308 when I said that the chamber dimensions were "sloppy", I mean that from a match rifle stand point. The S-308 is an excellent rifle. As far as a battle rifle, I think that the S-308 is one of the best I've ever seen. I really like this rifle, ever since I bought it, I just wanted to see how much I could squeeze out of one. It may not be possible, but I would enjoy trying anyway. I got the idea from a PTR-91 that I helped a friend convert over to an MSG-90 style rifle. We had to install

Hello everyone, first off, I would like to say that this site is an excellent info source. Everyone seems to be really helpful, and I'm glad to be a part of this forum. I have a question about my S-308, I skimmed over the pages of this forum but didn't really see the topic I was looking for right off. I hope that I'm not posting a redundant post. I am interested in possibly rebarreling my Saiga, the chamber dimensions and tolerances are a little sloppy, and I would like to have a little longer barrel with a tighter chamber. I know alot of guys will say that it isn't worth the money, an
