L5k, would you care to expand on how the thickness of the receiver has a bearing on the accuracy? Additionally, you said that " The advantage the Saiga has over the WASR is that it is built out of brand new parts, where as WASR's are built out of demilled rifles that are then rebuilt on single stack receivers." So if the brand new parts don't contribute to accuracy, why are they an advantage? Is it simply because it means it will have a longer life? Or is there some other advantage to it? More generally, I think it would be fair to say, based on everybody's posts, that there is

SN13, how much of a role does the receiver play with respect to accuracy? Additionally, all things (such as operator ability, ammo, etc.) being equal, at around how many yards does the different in accuracy of, say, a WASR-10 and a Saiga become noticeable?

Hi. I have a few, interrelated questions regarding what accounts for the differences in accuracy among AKs and AK variants (e.g. Saiga, Mak-90, etc.) from different manufacturers. When answering, understand that all the questions are being asked with the assumption that "all things equal", e.g. same shooter, same ammo, etc. Furthermore, please no general, vague answers like "quality control' or "better materials", etc. If that is part of the answer, expand on it so its much clearer what you mean. Ok, here goes: 1) At around how many yards does the difference in accuracy between a "lo

Ok everyone, I am looking to do a Saiga conversion but am utterly confused after going through the forum regarding what parts I'll need to buy or replace in my specific case. I am looking to convert at least one Saiga to look (and function) like a "classic", Russian-style AK-47, except with no wood furniture but with a better TCG (trigger control group). Furthermore, I'm looking to convert it in such a way that it will readily accept standard, surplus AK-47 mags and also to get a shorter stock than the one the IZ-132 comes with out the box. Given that the above are my goals, I've come up
