What is the scoop on barrel extensions? Doug

Yeah.........I soulda posted a SPF. Cletus, give me a shout when you send it. Doug

how much do you want for it cash? I paid $40 plus shipping. How does $35 shipped sound? Actually, if shipping isn't much $30 shipped. Save me hassle of ebay. Doug

Anyone have any opinions on the XD .45? Doug

I know that anything is possible but here is the question. Is there (or can there be) a barrel extesion that can be threaded to take either Mossberg, Remington ect. chokes? I haven't dug deep into the 12g section cause I don't have one but I've heard mention about barrel extentions. If they are there, and they could be fitted with the choke tubes I think we could have a one gun do it all in the Saiga.

I have a new mount like your talking about in the for sale section. I was looking for a trade (I want a low mount) but I'd sell it for less than I paid. Doug

HMM............how many .223 mags do I want to request...........

Thanks for the reply. It's a great Idea. I used a pencil.....a round one not the octagon shaped. Fit good and helped. I feel a lot better about it now. I don't quite get what you mean with the flies though. Doug

I just got this mount and realized it is a high mount. Anyone want to trade it for a low mount of the same type? Thanks, Doug

Hey all, Is there any secret to checking to see if a brake is actually on center. It's a type 74 pin on. I used my cleaning rod but mt brush is slightly bent. I stared down the barrel from both ends, seems ok, just paranoid I guess. Thanks, Doug

"Door breacher"..........that's funny. Try gut wrencher! That thing is sick Tony!

Yeah, funny how it works out. They do look good together with the slots. I didn't know if you made them or not though. Good job by the way. Doug

I like that P-grip! Is it US? If so where did you get it? Good job on the conversion too! Thanks, Doug

On Point Firearms

Ken, PM me and I'll bring it by. Steve in PA, It's a Tapco stock. It came on a .223 I bought. I bought a NATO lenghth K-VAR stock but for me personally it just seemed to small for the .308 so I swapped them. I actually like the way the Tapco shoulders and you can obviously adjust it. The cheapest place I found for parts was On Point Firearms in Florida. They have (or at least had) the stock for $36, grip for $18 and the 3 piece tapco trigger for $26. Haven't seen any cheaper . Google them and type tapco in their search. hope it helps. Doug

Twisty tie trick for the BHO spring: Have everything installed and ready to put the spring in. Slide the axis pin through the trigger group. Strip the plastic off a bread twisty tie and stick it through the spring then as your dropping the spring between the reciever and BHO stick the 2 ends of the tie throught the hole. Use the twist tie to pull down on the spring (grab tthe ties with pliers) to line it up so the pin can go through the spring and out the hole of the reciever. You'll still have to cuss at it a little and wish you had a third hand but it works way bettter than just trying t

Thanks. I bought the handguard from Dinzag....he got it from Falcon....and I don't know where it came from before that. Doug

Here is my S-308 that I converted.......first one. Doing it yourself is very gratifying. As much of a bitch as it was to drill, I'm ready to do another. I have to thank Dinzag for giving support and guidance (dude, the twisty tie trick for the BHO worked great). Hope the pic works, Doug Well, not a great picture. You have to enlarge it to see the vents in the handguard. Doug

Thanks. I read on a site (i'd have to look it up) that the Chinese Norinko was actually under rated due to it's reciever being something like 1.5mm compared to many others being 1mm. That site knocked the Saiga in terms of them needing there own magazine (with no mods being done of course). I have that stock I got from BR that is going to be asking for something to put it on so.........

Hey all, Just like in the title. How do the 7.62x39 Saigas stack up to the others. I love my other Saigas but I have two other "ak's" and just wondering what everyone's opinion was. Thanks, Doug

I think red star arms sells the tool to remove the sight.....sort of like a can opener.

pm sent on .223

Well this real shitty news. I just sent a K-var trigger set back and ordered a G2 for my .308. I put a K-var in my .223. Actually had to take a little off the plate of the safety to install it. We'll see how it goes I guess.

Yeah, I guess I didn't take into consideration that the trigger will be moved further up. That stock just seems so small, especially on a 22" .308. I'm gonna play around with some other options before I drill it or return it. May put it on the .233 or one of the other AK's. Or it could be an excuse to buy another Saiga. I did get a trigger group from K-var. Figured I'd one stop shop. We'll see how it goes. I had BRG3 make me up a really cool "one piece" p-grip that I was going to use on it unconverted (yeah the parts count I know) but there is another forum member about an hour a
