I have posted rebuttals, but my posts are being censored by being deleted by some moderator, most likely this one. He thinks that because someone told him he is a moderator and he so he can delete dissenting opinions, and post his own uncontested bullshit, it makes him right. Also he quotes some anonymous expert to back him up! It's just the old "appeal to authority" logical fallacy, where you argue that your opinion is true because somone you like agrees with it. (The opposite is the "guilt by association" fallacy, where you argue that your oponent's opinion is false because som

I have a Saiga .308 and the 3rd lug is a design error. Other 308 AKs, like the Galil and the Valmet 76 and 78, work fine with the traditional 2-lug Kalashnikov design. All the third lug does is to beat up the next round waiting in the mag, and make it very hard during assembly to push the bolt carrier down into the receiver. It is some Russian "Bubba's" guerrilla engineering. Kalashnikov would never have done it this way. To try to make it work the way Bubba intended you are fighting against 2 irreconcilable contradictions. (1) The 3rd lug needs to be rounded enough to pass over the next

Your main picture shows two rifles laying on a bed: Rifle 1 (the top one) has the front sight on the gas block, and a fixed poly stock; Rifle2 (the bottom one) has the front sight near the muzzle, and a fixed triangle stock. Some later pictures you post show the rifle with the triangle stock(rifle 1), and other later pictures show the rifle with the sight near the muzzle(rifle 2). Your description of the rifle for sale says "RPB Industries Nato Length Poly Stock (non-folding)" (rifle 1). Which gun are you selling? Rifle 1 or rifle 2? And why are you showing pictures of the o

Well I returned my mags to Uinta. USPS tracking shows it arrived yesterday, and this morning I got this email from PayPal: "Uinta Industries just sent you a full refund of $101.60 USD for your purchase..The refund will go to your PayPal account." That's pretty quick service. RECAP: The mags would work fine when held up tighter into the mag well, so there wasn't much wrong with them. Uinta was willing to work on the problem, but I just didn't have the time.

DTakas: I notice you didn't answer my questions about the conversion. gnugung: I pointed that out to you that all your questions about the gun are red herrings: "there is no evidence to support the bad-gun rather than the bad-mag theory. The gun plus factory mags combo has never malfunctioned in hundeds of rounds. The gun plus Uinta mag combo malfunctions all the time. It's the mags not the gun." DTakas: I'm guessing you converted it yourself, and you changed the original mag catch out. gnugung: You guessed wrong. But it remains an irrelevant red herring. DTakas: All of your po

Dtakas: I have seen that type of jamming before on an AK that had several thousand rounds of wolf fired through it without cleaning. The gas port was almost totally clogged. the bold wouldn't quite make it back far enough to get completely behind a round but somehow would start to push it out of the mag then get jammed. So the third lug does sound like it would cause this if the mag wasn't seated high enough, or if the bolt wasn't going all the way back. gnugung: A. Short cycling of the bolt could theoretically cause the 3rd lug to feed a round from the mag, with the mag seated HIGH in

The unfinished 3rd lug caused gouging of the next round in the mag, during extraction. That's a different problem. The problem here is the mag hangs low in the well and the bottom of the bolt overrides the next round. Once the bolt overrides the round you already have a problem, period. After the bolt has overridden the round sometimes the 3rd lug can pick up the round and partially feed it. Adding a slightly different flavor to the problem you already have. MAG LOW - BOLT OVERRIDES ROUND = PROBLEM. The problem can be fixed by manually keeping upward pressure on the mag as you cycle the a

For the benefit of N4KVE and anybody else interested: Today I live-fired 20 rounds through one of the Uinta mags and got 4 jams. Then I packed them up and mailed them back to Uinta.

Thanks for the input, alliwantisapepsi. I covered this issue in my reply to N4KVE, a couple of posts up.

Here is most of the email I sent Uinta.. Hi Uinta guys..![Regarding: the jamming problem] .. I stumbled on this solution.. I was investigating what seemed to be an entirely different issue - the so-called "third lug" on the bolt. I ran a cross this message-board piece where a guy speculated that the main purpose of the 3rd lug was to hold down the next round in the mag, rather than to strengthen lockup.http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?showtopic=43027 So decided to test his theory.. I removed the dust cover and return spring, put some rounds in the mag, inserted the mag, and slowly

I'll try to it tomorrow, for the interest of others. But for myself, a magazine that will cycle with the recoil shock of firing, but not cycle by hand is not acceptable. All my Military AK, FAL and M14 mags all do both with never a hitch, and so does my OEM Saiga 308 mag. And so do all the others, come to think of it. I always ask: what if I get a dud round in an emergency, and I cycle the action expecting to clear the dud, and chamber a new round - but what I get instead is a jam? You can easily get dead this way, too. No military would accept such a magazine, and nor will I. I have

The pictures didn't work because they are on my own PC, so I'll include them as attachments to this. They may not be in order referenced, though.

I got my 3 Uinta mags today, and unfortunately all failed to hand cycle rounds.For each mag in turn, I loaded 15 (not 20) rounds, pulled the bolt back smartly and let go - no riding the bolt.And for all the mags, every second or third round the bolt would start to feed the round then jump the rim, wedging the round with the bullet in the chamber and the case out. In the following picture the bolt actually hung in the extraction groove of the rim. . And I was able to remove the mag and the round remain suspended, like this .. The Generally the bolt just went forward over the rim to wedg

Gnugung, I understand your skeptical, Honestly I see no reason why you shouldn't be. We are a new company, and as such you have to earn your reputation in this business. IM me your address + Contact Infromation and let me put my money where my mouth is. I promise to not disappoint! -Uinta Industries Hi Uinta! You already have my email address in the email Pete sent Tuesday, February 1, 2011 10:03 AM. Just contact me there. - gnugung

SpetsnazGRU - Posted 07 February 2011 - 03:16 PM .. Only shot about 60 rounds, using one of the mags.. I was initially having feeding problems. The bolt was hitting one of the sides of the mag and failing to grab the next round. I had to manually cycle the action, pushing the bolt down with a bit of force, in order to chamber a round and then pushing the bolt closed. By the second mag-full, things did become smooth and I had no more failures, even when shooting one mag-full in rapid succession. The bolt simply dug a little hole in the plastic for itself. cma g21 - Posted 07 February 201
