I have a feeling that they may accidentally make their way onto rifles every now and then.

It can easily be done without removing the barrel.

I don't think so. I believe 47 pins are different from the current 74 pins used in the Saigas. The 74 pin from Numrich would definitely work, though.
Here's the difference:

Nice job. See you've got the Saiga-AK Gen2.5 retainer on there. Those are looking really good these days.
-
Numrich also has them in stock for $11 and free shipping if you use the coupon code.
-
Apex has them.

Post a pic of your rear trunnion. I'm curious to see the rolling.
-
The reasoning behind that is that the carrier is making contact with the buffer while it has more energy. That much is technically true, but whether or not it actually ends up causing an appreciable (or any) amount of damage is up for debate.

I've seen the Hogue OD. It's a very good match to K-Var's OD green.
-
Both of those are truly sexy.
-
Contact with the rear trunnion is normal. 99% of AKs out there have trunnion contact. The question is if the force of the contact is excessive or not. Since you have the extra power spring in there, I'd wager it isn't, but you'd have to check for peening/rolling around the bolt stem relief to be sure.

Still cheaper than pretty much any price on the net.

That's a ton of weight at the end of the barrel.

Plain Jane for now, but she's all mine.........
Just fine the way it is.

they continue to make them cause there cheap, easy to mass produce and work fine, my father was in the russian army and he said the scrap all the rifles every 2 years and replace them with new ones regardlees of how may rounds were through them. Could u amagine the cost if the were machined and not stamping 200 plus recievers an hour, per press. So yes the milled one is better you can get tighter tolerences through precision machinery than a 400 ton weight slaming metal in to shape. Which equal better accuracy. Unless u have owned both u have no room to talk ive owned a romanian which was my first and a yugo under folder , and now a arsenal milled, and by far it more accurate even out to 300 yards you can hit anything you aim at standing, shooting quickly , does not make any sounds when u shake it or drop it, just solid as a rock, and has a far better finish.
I wouldn't be at all surprised to find this post as a peer-reviewed scholarly article on Engineering Village.

Canted sights shouldn't be an issue. They don't mess with them, just do the PG conversions.

You should have got a milled one much nicer, thats what i did and ill never go back to stamped crap
Yes, stamped receivers are crap, which is why the Russians NEVER scrapped milled receivers for stamped ones. Oh, wait...

I ordered a bunch when it was >$200. The boat tail makes a BIG difference. This stuff is on par with Winchester Super-X and Remington Core-loc. My 16" Arsenal loves it better than Yugo.
That's exactly what I've found.

If it's an Arsenal it can already accept AK mags.

An SBR is any rifle with a butt stock and a barrel under 16". A Draco is just a name of an AK pistol. They are made by Cugir in Romania. Depending on the model (mini or regular), the barrels range from 7-11". However, as they don't have a stock, they are not SBRs, and thus do not require a tax stamp. Krinkov (or Krink) is just the nickname for the AKS-74u. A Krinkov is an SBR, as it's barrel is under 16" (8") and has a stock. You're 104 is neither a Krink or a Draco, but it is an SBR (in the States, anyway).

I even kept one of them loaded with 20rds of ammo for a year and that mag works flawless still...I just got some new Tapco mags and the spring tension has retained its stiffness as a new one. Feed lips still look like new
Static tension on a spring does not cause wear, so that's not really a good indicator of how the spring will hold up. Wear on a spring comes from applied stress via load cycles. Whether or not a spring is compressed doesn't make a difference because regardless of whether it's either compressed or relaxed, it's undergoing 0 load cycles.

In the neighborhood of $80 or so.
Gas Deflection Safety System?
in Saiga 5.45
Posted
This is a 100% non-issue. The chances of your Saiga piercing a primer are nil. I personally have never heard of a single case of a Saiga doing this. On top of this, 5.45 has harder primers than commercial ammo anyways. In the case that this actually does happen, the AK receiver has MANY other places that the gas will exit that aren't directed into your face. That notwithstanding, the amount of gas that comes out is highly unlikely to blind you.
