  1. Sorry about the crumby picture but my camera is going out, there is a small groove or gouge in the face of the bolt right over the thin part above the extractor, it does not go into a crack or anything, would you guys worry if you saw something like this on your bolt or is it normal ware and tear? It is not very deep but If I run my finger nail over it I can feel it.
  2. I was hoping I can ask those who are much wiser than me when it comes to the AK platform a few questions about bump firing, I want to know if it will hurt the gun in anyway? like will it lead to throat erosion if done excessively? I kind of keep thinking that it has to be hard on the rear trunnion or something but I could be wrong.
  3. Sorry its not even a saiga, its just a regular ak, they are 2 German and one Chinese mag. I just don't get it!
  4. Just curious I have a couple of mags that I have cleaned and inspected and they look fine but the bullets nose dive into the chamber opening and dont quite make it in, it jams and wont feed. My other mags dont have this problem, I can't see any reason for it. Follower looks good spring is good! I just don't get it.
  5. Steel cased ammo is harder on throats than brass cased ammo. Throat erosion is the real enemy of a barrel. Keeping the Chamber clean will help extend the life a lot.
  6. I sure can relate to your having to sell and trade and if not for some needed cash just enjoying it. I like buying new guns, and trading stuff. I like your list of one's you wont part with, I have a few myself, some guns are more than guns!
  7. There was a write up in guns and ammo the complete guide to ak's about the I/O and it got a really good review.
  8. Just an update for anyone who was interested in checking head space of there ak type gun, the way to do it is remove the dust cover and recoil spring, and the piston, take bolt out of carrier and put bolt in rails by hand moving it forward and rotating it into lugs all the way it will go, turn rifle upside down and note the position of the bolt when it is fully rotated and locked in, then pull out bolt and fit field gauge under extractor, and again rotate bolt in by hand and turn gun upside down and look through mag well at position of bolt, it should be in a different position because it cann
  9. You could just get an ak like a mak 90 or yugo or something, they are not all messed up and needing someone to work on them, they just work. I finally see the light when it comes to this, and it was after my bullet guide thing happened. So now I still like the S12 but wouldn't buy a 39 that cant just take reg mags out of the box, and has a fake trigger.
  10. A bullet guide nightmare happened to me too, I used a dinzag bullet guide but drilled the hole to far forward as my bit slipped, what a nightmare, I wish I wouldn't of tried and bought the stock saiga mags instead. I took it off and sold that saiga. I like the s12 but stick with non neutered aks now.
  11. Thanks Chile, so I don't have to worry about the extractor? or anything? Do I do it with the recoil spring in or just by hand?
  12. I have the gauges coming for the 7.62x39 and was wondering how one goes about checking the head space, is it different for a semi auto than it is for a bolt action? I heard that on a bolt action you have to remove a few things,basically strip the bolt! but I was wondering if a semi like an ak is real simple like just dropping in the field gauge and allowing the bolt to close. Any tips would be appreciated by this noob
  13. Thanks for the reply, so there are no chinese parts kits available, and a euro bolt won't work? Dang, I hope nothing breaks Have you ever tried to fit a non chinese bolt to one? I just took my MAK-90 down and swapped the bolt assembly out with a Century Arms built Yugo M70, it seemed to fit fine; I didn't fire it, but it seemed to fit pretty much the same as the original. The M70 was purchased new from a dealer about a year ago. So now you just have to headspace right? I heard the mak90s have a stepped hammer and shorter bolts so reg ak bolts won't work, so much for trus
  14. What I want to know is where have the thousands of spare chinese AK bolts and bolt parts gone that polytech parts had on stock since the 1990s in Atlanta GA. They state on their website that their overall parts supply is nearly gone and no more can be imported from China. They also state that the chinese parts do not easily interchange with euro parts so either there has been thousands of AK builds made with chinese parts internals on american receivers or people have been repairing plenty of rifles. I do not recall ever seeing chinese parts built onto a commercially sold varient. Most dom
  15. So far on the internet the only soft bolt/broken bolt case is the one on the glock talk forum, and it has been copied to other sites. Thats a pretty good record for all the mak 90s there are. I am feeling better about the one I got and just picked up another.
