  1. So I couldn't help myself. I left the discussion last time I posted to go ponder my idea by myself without all the negative input, and lo and behold, I stumbled across these 2 gems: http://www.youtube.com/user/Sturmgewehre?blend=4&ob=5#p/search/0/LDqkgAMfBog http://www.youtube.com/user/Sturmgewehre?blend=4&ob=5#p/search/1/GhAcUNjBrNE What's in these videos, you might ask? In the first video, you get a sneak peak at the works of the AK Master himself- Marc Krebs. He's built an accurized version of the Kalashnikov platform in 6.5 Grendel. What features does it have that lend
  2. I have a hard enough time with sarcasm in person, let alone over the internet. Glad to hear that this personal focus has been resolved.
  3. Dudethebagman, I'm not trying to impress anyone- I just want help. I'm not trying to sound lofty-I just want help. In regards to my intentions; this is the internet. You have no idea who I am, and I have no idea who you are. The best we have is our word, and I'm not a liar, and never will be. You can take all of what I have said to the bank. If you find my way of communicating bothersome, and would like for me to better rephrase what I have said so that you can better answer my questions, please outrightly state so, because I would like to get past the focus on me. Otherwise, can we st
  4. Toshbar- I appreciate the advice, but it is not my intention to alienate or denigrate anyone through my writing style. I merely wish to articulate myself in a manner that best conveys my message, but if that means that someone does not understand my message through my usual means of communication, and would like to understand, I would be quite happy to rephrase my statement so that it is easier to comprehend. As for my posting being over the heads of 95% of the readership that may stumble across it, I think that gives me a little too much credit. If anything, I post my ideas here because
  5. If they would just only build a SVD in 7.62X39 with a 16.5 inch barrel, standard furniture, and a aperture sight attached to the rear trunnion, this would not be a problem! I know, I know, buy a VEPR....
  6. Warning: the musings to come in the following paragraphs are going against the grain of conventional Kalashnikov wisdom! I make no qualms about this! In other words, I am seeing the grain in a young sapling and missing the forest (Analogy courtesy MN .9130 ). THIS PROJECT IS NO LONGER A QUESTION OF SHOULD I GO ABOUT IT, BUT HOW! Anyhow, I'd filed away this project into the deeper recesses of my mind as "finished"; a decision made through the wonderful input of you wonderful folks here on Forum Saiga. However, that creatively obstinate streak that seems to permeate people like us (whic
  7. Well, I think you guys have about convinced me! Many thanks to you in particular MN.9130, and I very much appreciate the kind words! I also like the analogy, and I promise you it is not the first time that I have been accused of focusing too much on the details and missing the bigger picture (stinking artist streak gets me every time!). I figure a converted Saiga with all of the bells and whistles mentioned in post #6, combined with quality hand loaded ammunition that adequately engages the rifling and a Tech Sight should fit my capabilities within the price range of my budget. I very muc
  8. I plan to use the rifle as a general self defense tool, but I'd to have it be as applicable to as many applications as possible(training, plinking, hunting, etc). I also really like to shoot little things, opposed to human sized silhouettes (not that I am always any good at it! ), which is why I have the accuracy expectations that I do. I've also gleaned a bit in my readings of combat and talking to friends who have gone to war that you generally don't get to shoot at fully exposed silhouettes, so it helps to be able to hit an exposed body part behind cover. I know that 5 MOA will hit a human
  9. I really appreciate all of the wonderful insight, but I must admit I feel a bit thick for forgetting that the top cover attaches to the rear sight block Anyhow, though I have access to a machine shop over at a buddy's house, I am not the most mechanically inclined person in the world (though I am aiming to change that!), so I think you guys have adequately convinced me that totally removing the rear sight block is out the picture. However, i am wondering if it would be possible to remove the band under the rear sight block that attaches to barrel, and have the rear sight block just be so
  10. So, I've been lurking here and other Kalashnikov based forums a fair bit, because I've been looking for the Holy Grail of AK-47's, but I've reached a point that I have to appeal to higher knowledge I'm after a semi auto AK-47 variant in 7.62X39 with a full set of wood furniture, an adjustable aperture sight as close to the eye as possible (preferable with target knobs for windage and elevation), no rear sight block (more on that later), the front sight sitting atop the gas tube ( think AK-104), a semi free floated16 inch barrel, refinished with Moly-Resin over parkerizing, 2-3 MOA capable
