I'm in the market for one, and I'm wondering what the best place to get one from is... in terms or customer service, price (obviously), extras/specials, etc... Any suggestions?

Looking for a nice foregrip, an fuglystick gas tube cover w/ a rail, and a break for an S20 (and/or S12). Also looking for a rail-mounted flashlight w/ a pressure pad, possibly one with an integral laser. Let me know what you've got.

Not really what I'm looking for, but thanks for the offer.

Looking for interesting and custom AK/Saiga (converted) stocks. I'll consider nicely welded stuff, side folders, wood stocks, etc. Not looking to spend a fortune, but shoot me a picture of what you've got and what you're asking for it.

It certainly helps that there are no electronic parts to mess up. I'm probably babying my Obzor a little too much...

Generally speaking they are well made but there was a batch that had defective switches. This is what caused them to have a bad rap over here but in the field they appear to have a proven combat reputation, Russian troops apparently like them quite a bit. That being said I think there are modern optics like 1P76 Rakurs and 1P63 Obzor that are better, and as mentioned the PK-AS is a fantastic optic as well (and was my personal favorite until Rakurs and Obzor came out). eta: I've also ordered a ton of stuff from Eastwave since 2005 and never had a problem. Dmitry is a good seller and

Oh crap, I've got a ton of that stuff. I had no idea it was steel core. I just checked it with a magnet, and it is indeed.

The "conversions" that are basically just a slap on pistol grip are not conversions, they're just an aftermarket stock. You are better off just keeping the original set-up if that's your preference (IMHO). Moving the trigger-set forward IS the conversion. I'd highly recommend it. I can't tell you how much more i shoot it now that it's converted.

I am keeping my fingers crossed on that one as well.

Any update on these?

Where did you state "i will take it"? Read the rules again. As stated already. You must state "ill take it:" in the THREAD. not in a PM. I dont really see where the OP is trying to be unfair. I really dont see where anyone is picking on anyone. Just trying to inform complainers in the right direction. You are kinda of being a whiner though. Some times you just dont get the deal you wanted. Lesson learned, many more to come in the future. You just spent a lot more time on this than I did... I said I was fine with him selling to whomever he wanted... that's the ameri

I was the first to tell him I'd take it, but as I stated already in this thread, I am fine with him selling it to whomever he wants.

Rustoleum BBQ black is very good stuff.

I sent him a PM at about 7:00 pm saying I'd take it. He never wrote back... that said, he can choose to sell it to whomever he wants.

Still looking for more S20 mags (in 2 3/4). I have an extra 3", and a 10 round Saiga .223 mag, as well as some AK mags I can trade.

Plugs are interchangeable on a 12 and a 20. Not sure about a 410.

I finally got around to converting my S20 (I realize this is the wrong forum, but I figured this has a ton more traffic than that board), and I put about 100 rounds through it yesterday. The bolt hold open bites my hand on recoil. Not horribly, but enough that after 100 rounds, I noticed. The trigger guard seems slightly bend forward, so I've probably got my hand guard set a bit too far forward, but I can't imagine that would have anything to do with anything in regards to this issue, since that doesn't adjust the position of the trigger set. I had to take a bit of material off t

Very excited about these.

203 posts, and you didn't know how to adjust the gas plug... or post it in one of the (many) proper places? Wow.

In black preferably. I have foregrips, and need a stock to match. If anyone has one that they are getting rid of, please PM me with details.

I'd greatly prefer a SLG31-94 w/ folding stock, but I'll consider any Arsenal in 5.45. Let me know what you've got, the condition, and what you're asking for it. Thanks!

You've given me a lot of info to process. I appreciate it. The price point on the 1p78 and the PO 3.5 are just about the same... 2.8 on the 1p78 and 3.5 (obviously) on the PO 3.5. I do like that you don't need batteries for the 1p78. Ideally, I'd have something with some adjustability, but it doesn't seem that there are any options for that under $500.

Fantastic post Zen... Thanks very much for that. One thing I did appreciate about the PO 3.5 was the large field of vision. I also like the apparent sturdiness of the PO 3.5. Granted, I've only held it in my hand, and didn't get the chance to throw it onto the ground or anything (I doubt the seller would have liked that), but it felt like it was built to withstand a lot of stress. The guy who had it told me that it was set up for full auto 5.45. Since I'll only be firing semi, I figure that might be a little bit of overkill, and I was honestly hoping for a little more out of a $500 scope

Can anyone point me towards either milsurp or civilian made scopes that have a reticle set up for 5.45 bullet drops. Most everything I'm seeing seems to be either set up for either 7.62x54 or 7.62x39. I'd like adjustable magnification if possible. The only thing I'm finding is a PO 3.5, and for $500 (give or take), I'd like a little more flexibility in a scope.

PM sent.
