Yep Just the two pins.what you are looking for is an ak74 fsb. Kvar has them from time to time and they are a forum sponsor. Also someone else has them. PM me if you want his email, he is not a forum contributor so I can't list it here

Check for handguard retainer notch and see if the chamber is not stepped These two things increase your chances greatly. Although it sounds like you know this...the only way to tell is hack the shroud off

Havnt seen this before. Cool post! Looks like the woman is inspecting import saigas in one of the pics!!

Yep. Def light strikes. My spent tulammo cases have deep deep primer dent that are actually wrinkled up around the dents. And I have shot more than 2000 rounds of tulammo with never an issue. Id go with a new oem ak47 mainspring and see whs happens then

All those things are quite easy with hundreds of threads on and can be done with minimal tools of you use a bolt on retainer. But if you want the most efficient and cheapest route without you getting your hands dirty...sell the saiga and buy an arsenal. Between back and forth shipping and the parts, and cost of gunsmith doing the labor. You'll be at the price of an arsenal from atlanticfirearms.com in no time

I believe all the ak100/century series are dimpled receivers.

Magpul afg on the first pic!! Ha!!

The really really sad thing is. Anyone that, god forbid, did have to defend their life or families lives will probably be in same damn shoes as Zimmerman is and be labeled racist,gun toting, murderer. Regardless of the situation leading to defence of his life or family

Started out as grocery store clerk at 15, then started driving forklift for the same chains warehouse at 19, and now, at 22, handle outbound shipping logistics for delhaize America(company that owns sweetbay, foodlion, and Hannaford grocery stores along the east coast) Movin on up!

May I ask why you are looking for a milled ak? Is It to add to a collection? Or becuase you've been misled into thinking they are someway superior to a quality stamped rifle?

Placing my bets on (assuming its a converted rifle) no disconnector spring

And once it's hard, it's unreliable at best, and breaks off when you need it most!! And FYI. What you're talking about using to secure a rifle together are bolts. Screws cut their own threads into softer materials, bolts thread into precreated threads such as nuts or tapped holes. No wood screws? Seriously though. colloquially, a bolted together AK is refered to as a "screw build" If a duck is colloquially referred to as a chicken, but you know it's a duck. Do you call it a chicken ??

Rivets only. do it right, do it once Your constant jb weld references are bordering on the annoying side too

The mount in the op pic is a utg so I'm assuming that's what he's using. My Belarus bp02 is rock solid and straight as an arrow too:)

I'm glad to hear that your JB Weld job held up through an entire range trip, but what does the presence of the buffer have to do with anything? More evidence of Haphazardly sticking worthless Bullshit bandaids to the rifle?!?

If I saw dents in my primers I would be a little more than bothered. I might be down right concerned. Ahhhhhh why? I've seen many primer dents on rounds I've cycled trough my rifle. Just don't cycle the rifle in place you wouldn't be ok with it going off. Simple. So simple infact that I believe the four rules point to this. If your gun was "always loaded" you certainly wouldn't point it at something much less cycle it in the direction of something you weren't ok with destroying. Correct? That being said I've shot my fair share of ak platform Rifles and have never never, I mean n

I wanna work somewhere that I stumble upon ammo!!!

Absolutely nothing wrong with the g2. Actually it's leaps and bounds better than 95% of other assault rifle triggers. Saigas arnt meant to be bench rest rifles, a g2 is an excellent combat trigger.

True story. I'd check for consistency. Did you tighten down the rings all nice and even and use blue loctite?

That's awesome! It could be the mount though couldn't it? Manufactured with an incorrect angle on the top tail??

I don't have Either of those but I have a Belorussian kalinka bp02 which sits very low and is very stout. But I just dont like the weight.

The release is a pretty stout piece of metal. Post a pic if you can please. Ya I don't see how you could bend the release if it was filed enough to get the mag to lock in the first place. If you didn't file enough the mag wouldn't lock in becuase the release would be caught on the tab on your mag. Something doesn't add up here

agreed. seems like an interesting idea though.

Some inspiration for you
