for short range, the rear blade sight is fine, but for long range, something else is necessary. Grab your rear sight and try to move it side to side. It will move. every time you do this, the sight will come to rest at a different place, throwing off your zero. The Mojo aperture sight I just got does not move at all. That coupled with the 0.034" front post makes for an excellent long range setup. I'm sold on it.

I need no luck when I comply with the law......actually, we all could get in a mess like Brian Aitken did.

False. It states that the rifle cannot have more than 10 foreign parts. It reads nothing about replacing parts. The idea of using US made parts is inferred from having to NOT use foreign parts.

Range report will probably be monday afternoon. All my land is leased to hunters and deer season ends saturday.

take the foam pad off. I guarantee that the foam pad is not letting it fold all the way and therefore not latching. Mine did this to some extent when I had paracord wrapped on it, but it would lock closed tight. I have since taken the paracord off that stock and then I got a full polymer bulgy '74 stock.

check out my thread in the optics section about the Mojo Microclick aperture sight. I really like it.

I just took the sight out and filed away the paint on the lugs that go into the sight block. I just took off the paint, then polished with a cloth, and put a drop of oil on the lugs. I put it back in and now it will spring down flat.

They have colored front sight posts. Google 'ak colored sight' and you'll see what i'm talking about.

As some of you may have seen, I shoot my 5.45 Saiga at a considerably farther range than most in the AK world. I regularly shoot out to 500 yards, and for the past year have been using a Tasco Pronghorn 3-9x40 scope mounted on the side rail to reach out that far. I can shoot 7" groups at 500 yards with that setup off sandbags but I really want to get away from the scope, and as we all know the AK irons are just about as well thought out as the rest of the gun.....crude and rugged. I looked around for aperture sights and settled on the Mojo Sights Microclick. The main deciding factors were ad

They get stored in case I want to go back to using 10 round magazines. 922R has no constructive intent, so you are allowed to have a 10 foreign parts gun AND foreign made magazines that are to be used in other 7 foreign parts guns. On second thought, I've made up my mind to go ahead and make all my saigas comply with 922R and replace all the furniture with US made so I won't have to worry about it. You guys can further discuss the subject, but I won't be replying unless someone specifically asks me one by name.

I just read the verbage, and it has nothing to do with replacing parts. It only states that a rifle cannot have more than 10 foreign parts. It doesn't get much 'simpler' than No, and this was never simplified, you went off on a tangent instead. I already am compliant. THERE, now that we got that out of the way I'll ask the question a third time and dumb it down a little more. Please remove any prior ideas/concepts/situations/and examples gained from my posts above from your mind before reading the next line. Instead of replacing foreign parts with domestic parts

My 5.45 will do 7" groups at 500 yards with none of your aforementioned modifications, but with that 30 year old Russian 'shitty steel cased ammo'. Attend an Appleseed Project shoot and you'll get 1000x the return on your money spent. http://forum.saiga-1...showtopic=59620

You guys are totally skirting the question presented. Let me simplify this for you. If I have a gun that contains 2 more foreign parts than is allowed, and I remove those parts, it is compliant, isn't it?

nothing.

Wouldn't he have to have bought it new, from a dealer? I'm not trying to nit pick for no sake, but nit picking here is needed. If a private seller sells a converted rifle that is not in compliance with the 922r law, isn't the buyer responsible for making the gun comply?

Question has been dumbed down and re-asked in post 6, and again dumbed down further in post 10.

I bought the bolt on retainer from brownells. It was $23 and kalashniklown and I have had good results using it. I've shot it with the scope out to 500 yards where I can pull a 7" group(1.5 MOA) which is fairly good excellent for an AK type gun. Here's a thread you should look at: http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?showtopic=59620 yep, brownells retainer. I didn't file the threads on the allen bolt. I doubt i'm going to do the FSB, but i'll leave that open for the future. I have a lot of other things I wanna do with my other rifles right now.(aperture sights, more ammo, NM sights o

Got it from APEX gun parts out of colorado. It came with the pistol grip, the front upper and lower handguard and the stock, which does have the butthole for the cleaning kit. It's listed as Bulgarian AK74 polymer stock set and is $45. They have a wood set for $25. I got an East German AKM gas tube from the same site for $30 but now they've taken it off the website.

look for a video that shows how to field strip an AK. the gas tube is held in by a cam lock on the rear. You just flip the lever and the rear of the gas tube lifts out of the rear sight block. To put in one that is an AK one with upper handguard, you just put that one in and lock it in. Some filing may be required for the cam lock to close.

That reminds me - I need to go make sure my stamp set is where I left it. Post #123 W00T

What???? No likey for the pistol grip? I like it.

I just got the furniture in today and put it together. All the Bulgy surplus was CAKED with grease. I spent an hour and a half with my steam cleaner getting it off. I pulled the buttplate off the stock and it was half full of old grease. The lower handguard went on well. I filed the notch too far forward and had about 1/16" front to back slop, so out came the mig welder..... I put one tack on the front of my groove and refiled to allow the bolt to go through. I used the bolt that came with it and did not trim the threads in the middle. I could see light through the handguard right be

Mine got here today. it works great. I had to do quite a bit of 'fitting' on the gas tube.

I looked around and the 5.56 is only doing about 15-20 m/s faster than 5.45 out of a 16.5" barrel. This seems negligible.
