  1. Knowing what you know now... Which Importer/Caliber would you build ne

    in Saiga 7.62 X 39

    Posted

    It really depends on your situation. For Example...I have a 5.56 rifle so I did not want to build a 5.45... I wanted a rifle that was .30cal so I chose 7.62x39 because ammo was cheap and it does alright out to 200-250 yrds (it is combat effective not match grade accuracy)

     

    If you want to build yourself- Saiga or VEPR is the only way to go

    If you want to buy- Rifle Dynamics, Arsenal and Waffen Werks

     

    If this is your only rifle for a while...I would do the 5.45 caliber..as ammo (once you can find it) is cheap...but it is corrosive ammo (milspec bulk)...so you must clean everytime you shoot and be aware of your range rules where ever you shoot.

  3. Tapco 30rnd 1000rd Review

    Here is the deal...this post was for reliability....not brute strength...there are so many internet ninja in this world its insane...talking about going to battle etc...have you ever had your life in danger by another human? 95% NO...

     

    Steel over polymer...steel will win every time...now do I plan on dropping my AK like that........UM NO....I have a sling for that.

     

    Again...THIS POST was about how reliable they have been for 1000rds not strength

     

    I am planning to keep this mag until it malfunctions....will keep it loaded to test feed lips over time....

     

    In your original post you rave how the mags have stood up to ABUSE and most complaints about Tapcos are not about them feeding reliably it about the there ability to with stand abuse. Your comments about your thread being based on "reliability" alone is incorrect. No need to get defensive and make broad statements about everyone.

     

    You need to re read my post....

    If it matters...the same mag at home, I would do mag changes repeatedly over and over...and the feed lips just have a "polished" plastic look...but no wear to them.

     

    Believe it or not...I broke a PMAG on the feed lip...have yet to break a TAPCO AK mag (magpul did warranty out the mag)

    Alrighty folks,

     

    Many have questioned Tapco Mags reliability...I am here to tell you that I have passed the 1000rd mark in 2 years time.

     

    Ammunition used: Tula and Monarch...no fancy, just go o'steel cased ammo

     

    Rifle: Saiga fully converted

     

    I never got a single misfeed or hiccup from these magazines. I questioned them as much as anyone else.

     

    I have subjected these mags to mag changes which followed them falling on rock, asphalt or dirt depending on where I was shooting.

     

    I even kept one of them loaded with 20rds of ammo for a year and that mag works flawless still...I just got some new Tapco mags and the spring tension has retained its stiffness as a new one. Feed lips still look like new

     

    One thing that I really like is how well the anti tilt works.

     

    So I did not run them over a car/bulldozer/tank etc....this long term test was all about reliability over time using the same weapon

  19. Trading 06 Saiga 7.62 for 2011 Saiga (Should i ?)

    My thoughts exactly...I mean what gun dealer in his right mind would want an older weapon...there is def something that is fishy and used guilt trip to get you to do the trade.

     

    I bet there is something severely wrong with that rifle that he is not telling you or there is something about yours that he wants really bad...either way...you did a stupid trade

     

    It is inappropriate for you to accuse the OP of making a "stupid trade', sir. What he does is his business and it is up to him to determine if he wants to trade or not.

     

    Youn owe jerry2guns an apology.

     

    Thanks Dad I'll get your permission next time, last time I checked I live in the United States of America..freedom of speech...he asked our opinion..and give him my honest view on this
