the principal is same with any gun keep all the metal parts oiled when in storage and clean it off before shooting. after shooting do the basic field strip and clean off the bolt and bolt carrier along with the receiver and the barrel. also remove the gas block and give it a nice cleaning. Thank you.

Hello Saigaland, It's time to roll your eyes about another newbie question. I just picked up my new 7.62 from gun jail in the People's Democratic Republic of Kaliforniastan. Now what? I want to properly prepare this rifle for a long and happy life. I have the accompanying cleaning kit, however, the g-store had the following cleaning kits: OTIS Tactical Cleaning System for $40, Tetra Value Pro II Cleaning Kit $15, Gunslick Pro Master Cleaning Kit-$20, and Remington Fast Snap Universal Rifle Cleaning Kit for $17. Any suggestions on initial cleaning, preparation, and maintenance would be

I think I will be "safe". thanks.

Howdy Folks! Just picked up my Saiga 7.62 x 39 from gun jail in the great People's Republic of Kali. Being a responsible sort, I want to secure this rifle. What is the best way to lock this rifle? I have my regular pistol locks and I am wondering if this is the best way? Can't wait to try this baby out in the desert soon. Cheers.

Thanks!

I am picking up my Saiga 7.62x39 next week; however, a sling is not included. What do you recommend for a stock rifle? A shout out for all of your assistance.

I am looking for SAIGA 7.62x39 10-round factory magazines as well as other companies ie surefire, etc. Let me know your price with shipping. I like to use m.o.'s. Work is a little busy, I will get back to everybody--patience please! Thanks.

Everybody, thanks for the great advice. This rifle is intended for self-defense first, hunting second. Eventually I want to convert it; I have seen so many great conversions jobs on this forum, so many ideas--so little time. I hope to be hitting the desert/outdoor range in a few weeks.

Keep all of those tips coming in! My Saiga is in gun jail for another week; another joy of living in the PRK. I am going to hold off on any conversion projects for a while since I am limited to 10-round magazines. I will be giving this rifle a workout soon. San Diego's back country is being overrun by feral pigs, and somebody has to step in and save the place!

Howdy all. I just picked up a 7.62x39. I plan to mostly use iron sights because I wear glasses, and I have eye relief issues with many scopes. Any way to improve the iron sights? (i.e. fiber optic beads, etc) Can anyone recommend a red dot scope? Thanks!
