  1. Yup, so What if I used a DPH dust cover rail with some rear sight. Surly that would work?

     

    You're working with iron sights on two unproven surfaces that likely will not hold a "true" zero. What are you trying to do?

     

    You could get an ACE bolt on front sight with a TWS gen II rail with integrated/add on peep sight. That's what I'd do.

  2. also set the weapon on a flat surface from trigger guard forward (NO HANDGUARDS). Check the sides of the receiver to see if they are square with a 90 deg. 6" plastic carpenters square (A plastic triangle with one 90 degree angle and two 45s). Then check the FSB to see if it is square. Adjust so there is equal distance between upright square and top of FSB on both sides. I have done this three times and it worked perfect. This is the method I will be using again when I "plum it" out.

     

    Can you post a link of what you're talking about? I work for a supply company and I wanna get one of these. Thanks!

  3. Where's Klassy at?

    Anywho, depending on your Saiga, you make have one slot for the pin already drilled for the block. If that's the case, eyeball it with the new GB on there and then pound it in. It shoudl index it. Then cycle the bolt a few times to make sure the piston on the BCG isn't binding. Lastly after removing the bolt and making sure it's unloaded, plug the barrel (in the chamber and blow through the barrel (from the crown). You should feel air go through the gasblock.

    Then drill the hole for the other pin and pound it in. The GB isn't as finicky as the FSB.

     

    For the FSB, put it on and then go to the range and index with a mallet at 25 yards. Then you can mark it, drill it and pin it at home.

  4. What about 922r? If I got the CAA with a Magpul does that count as US? What about VLTOR with Magpul? Which one would count? oh geez

     

    The buffer tubes are not counted in 922r (and neither are cheek pieces or buttpads, etc, etc). Only the stock itself would matter.

     

    I've heard people say that it is counted and some say it isn't. Does anyone else have an opinion?

     

    Whoever said a buffer tube does count, has no idea what they're talking about.

     

    Every single part that is counted in 922r is clearly listed. Here's the list we have here in the 922 section:

     

     

    A Saiga Rifle in factory configuration has 14 parts.

    A Saiga shotgun threaded for chokes has 14 parts.

    A Saiga shotgun not threaded for chokes has 13 parts.

     

     

     

    (1) Receiver

    (2) Barrels

    (3) Barrel extensions

    (4) Mounting blocks, trunnion (rifles only)

    (5) Muzzle attachments (shotguns w/ threaded barrels only)

    (6) Bolts

    (7) Bolt carriers

    (8) Operating rods

    (9) Gas pistons

    (10) Trigger housings

    (11) Triggers

    (12) Hammers

    (13) Sears

    (14) Disconnectors

    (15) Buttstock

    (16) Pistol grips

    (17) Forearms, handguards

    (18) Magazine bodies

    (19) Followers

    (20) Floorplates

    As opposed to a lot of things about certain gun laws.....there's really no debate here, regarding a buffer tube and 922r. It simply doesn't count, period. If it's in the list, it counts. If it's not, it doesn't.

     

    Thank you for the thorough response. This makes sense now that I see it. If I used Chinese screws to attach a tube to the trunnion does that make it violate 922r? NO, because it's not listed. With that being said. I'm fucking sick of Vltor dragging their ass on making the tube. I'm ordering the Chinese one. It's f'ing ridiculous. Bad economy? don't f'ing complain to me about a bad economy when you LEAVING MONEY ON THE TABLE. MAKE THE F'ING TUBES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Change the tooling or move it in house.

  6. Hi,

    I'm parting out one of my Saiga's and am selling the Saiga specific Midwest Inudstries Quad rail in FDE. There is no damage and almost little to no where on the rail. All mounting hardware is included and you will receive the original packaging (box and instructions). I paid $135+Shipping for this in May and waited 4 months to get it.

     

    Asking $100 shipped OBO

     

     

     

    I will accept discreet paypal +4% or USPS postal order only

  7. I wouldn't wait until after Christmas to sell it.

     

    Are you aware of the prices of NEW firearms right now?

     

    I mean seriously, they are falling like ROCKS.

     

    My vote is that Saiga 7.62 prices (unrestored) will fall sub $300 in the next year or so. If you don't unload it now you'll be sitting on it for a long time.

     

    The days of Obama-Crazed Newbies buying up everything without question ARE OVER. All those guns they paid too much for are clogging up Gunbroker and not being purchased. Your flat top Saiga is just backround music now.

     

    Sorry,

    The unsilent majority.

  8. I put mine back in both my rifles. I like it. Mainly only use it at ranges though. I never trimmed either and my finger doesnt rub against them. Also, they have never gotten stuck either. They are a pain in the ass to install the first time though.

     

    OMG +1 to your entire post.

     

    I have it on mine, too. I'm glad I had it when I went to the range with it for the first time. No way I could have shot it without it.

  9. Ask yourself the question, "Would I buy a Saiga converted from an individual for $500?" You'd be kidding yourself if you say you would.

     

    Me personally? No. See my post above about rolling my own. (I must have missed this part of your post before)

     

     

    But for example, ClassyKalashnikov had/has a converted x39 in the WTS section for $499. If I were the type that didn't want to hassle with converting for myself......I'd pay it. When you break it down; $350ish for a factory x39 and then add in the parts he has, and the labor involved....he's taking a loss at that price, IMO.

     

     

    But everyone's opinion will vary on the "worth" of anything. It's subjective.

     

    You're right, $499 for a ready to go rifle (converted by someone with quite a reputation around here). is very reasonable. But $600 (starting) then BUIS is out of the ballpark, right now.

     

    Oh, and I know you're not getting pissed. That wasn't directed at you. It's directed at those who bought up masses during the Obama craze and are still trying to unload at those prices.
