  1. Thanks for the replies guys. I checked, this has both dimples and a PG cut-out.
  2. I must be lucky. Every Saiga I've ordered has had dimples. I know they're more common on the x39 ...was just wondering how common/uncommon on the .223?
  3. This is NOT an ad!! I have a Saiga .223 with the magazine dimples. It has trigger and pistol grip screw cut outs. Does having dimples bring a little bit of a premium for this rifle? Would like to know if I decide to sell it.
  4. As far as the screw being offset, that is by design. Suppose to not past the ridge on the breech face so the bolt can close fully.
  5. Not sure. The guide adds height to the trunnion in the way the Saiga factory magazine has a higher wall. Cartridge case hits that which angles it upward a tiny bit more - more toward the chamber. Instead of hitting the front wall of the magazine, the round hits the feed ramp instead to get its proper feed angle. Being that 30rd magazines do not have a high front like the factory magazines. I've seen perhaps 100 different feed ramp installations on this forum and on other forums. Most of which were homemade ramps. Maybe I can't tell by the picture, but I've never seen any overhang. Nor any
  6. Yes, I have read the installation PDF. The guide is a Dinzag guide. The reason I ask is because it differs from the photos I've seen on the web (including the PDF). I don't recall ever seeing a guide extend past the trunnion. Just wanted to make sure this is normal.
  7. I have the bullet guide for the x39 with round trunion. 1. Is the hole for the screw in the bullet guide suppose to be off-center? Meaning, closer to the right edge if you were looking at the chamber? If a hole was drilled in the center of the trunnion, the bullet guide would ride more up the left side of the trunnion due to the hole being closer to the right side of the guide. 2. The guide overhangs the trunnion. Is this by design? The stepped part slides under the barrel. It bottoms out by hitting the barrel, however the bullet guide is longer than the trunnion by 3/32 or so. I'm
  8. It's $625 from Onpoint The front end work can be done for a lot less money using Dinzag parts. This Arsenal Saiga still needs coverting, if you're going to go through the hassle of grinding off the plate and all the other steps, doing the front-end isn't much more trouble.
  9. I don't have a .223, but I have a 7.62x39mm and the same thing happened the first time I cleaned it. I even used brake cleaner to blast it all out. A little purple and black came out, nothing major. Finish is still intact and not worn down or compromised in any way. However, the finish on the Saiga is definately a weak point. I guess you can't get everything for $236!!! LOL. I'm used to blasting out my AR-15's with brake cleaner (cause it is easy, fast and does the best job ever) since they are filthy rifles. It gets them better than inspection clean in no time. Then spray them with CLP
