  1. Before I get flamed, I used search and nothing came up...

     

    I would like to keep my SAIGA close when I am sleeping or at home (but I want it out of sight for others), there is a wall behind my bedroom door that would conceal the gun when the door is open. My issue is I cannot find anything on the market that would hold the gun securely in place and is also lockable (padlock, combo, whatever).

     

    Any ideas? What do others here use? Do I need to make it myself?

     

    Thanks...

    Your request makes no sense.

     

    You want your gun close when you are sleeping or at home, but you want it locked up?

     

    How is that going to do anything for you? If it's locked up, it might as well be locked up in a safe or a gun case.

     

     

     

    In my case, I use the principles of physics to lean the rifle against the corner behind the door. It works well, and is free of charge (doesn't lock, though).

  2. Made the conversion on my S12 last night. Noticed afterward that the safety lever now swings down near vertical. I have yet to see if it will wander that way while shooting, but I'm not a fan of the possibility. Did I forget something when putting everything back together, or is there a simple fix?

    That's not normal.

     

    Is the Shepard's crook installed & pins in place?

    The shepherd's crook has nothing to do with "swinging down near vertical", but I'll bet someone forgot to re-install their safety stop.

  3. BTW, does anyone recall whether the Surefire modified Weigers were reliable?

    They are very reliable.

     

    The only reason you don't see more of them out there is that they don't help with 922r. That, and Surefire only produced the modded-metal-milsurps until it could get it's U.S. made plastic mags to market.

  4. Drums it shall be, then. I do like the look of the magwell, but the down side is too great.

     

    Thanks,

    Didn't someone make a mag chute?

     

    This was a thingy-ma-bob that looked like something a mag well, but just lined your mag up with the factory mag slot (so all you had to worry about was locking it in at the correct angle).

     

    Basically a mag well without the front and rear parts that require mag modification.

     

    If this is something I read about in a dream and doesn't really exist, please mark me up for a percentage :D

  5. Did you miss the byline?

     

    Clayton County News 6:50 p.m. Monday, September 7, 2009

     

     

    I don't think it matters "when" this happen. It is the fact that some douch rocket, scum bag is has his hands on toys he/she shouldn't.

    . . and you don't stop to think that the media isn't going to report that the weapon was found (if it was)?

     

    They may have recovered the weapon the next day, but the media wouldn't report that. Oh no, they have other fear-mongering to do instead.

     

    You know the media only reports stuff to scare folks, and rarely (if ever) reports "weapon found" stuff (to better keep the sheep quaking under their bedcovers).

     

    They're fear-mongering, and so are you for reposting a year-old news story w/o calling the Clayton Co. offices and finding out if the weapon was recovered.

     

    A lot can happen in a year.

  6. As I remember they need a bullet guide.

     

    Thanks. I've heard it both ways. That's one of the problems. The thing is that rounds from a Weiger hand cycle smoothly into my S223. The bullet height in relation to the chamber seems to be about ideal. I suppose actual fire cycling could be different.

    You're basing your theory on one magazine?

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Get the bullet guide. It'll save you some heartache.

    I have no theory. My comment about hand cycling was merely an observation based what I have seen with my three mags.

     

    I also checked my records and these are Weigers that were modified by Surefire.

    AHA.

     

    They're not really "Weigers" any more, then, are they?

     

    Surefire modified Weigers way back when the company first got started (also modified steel milsurp 7.62x39 mags) to fit Saigas w/o any modification to the rifle.

     

    A standard (unmolested) Weiger will not work w/o a bullet guide.

  7. I'm playing on the PS3. I had Fallout 3 for the PS3. I almost picked it up for PC instead, but decided against it largely because I wanted to pick up the special edition with all the cool swag (and to support Bethesda).

    You're probably gonna regret not buying the PC version (which would still support Bethesda).

     

    New Vegas Nexus offers mods for the PC version that'll keep the game fresh for a long, long time.

     

    I'm still playing new stuff from Fallout 3 Nexus in Fallout 3 on my PC.

     

    Once you finish all the quests on a console, you're stuck with a shiny disk. On a PC, the mods keep coming . . .

    Thanks. My own search on this question turned up that thread, and while useful in terms of the 223 mag options, it does not answer my inquiry whether a bullet guide is necessary for Weiger mag use in my S223 (which does not have a bullet guide). I've researched this issue and have never seen a clearcut definitive answer to the question. Yeah or neah?

    All military magazine use requires a bullet guide.

     

    The Weiger weapon system was produced by East Germany for military use.

  10. The Texas AK Triggers FCG is modeled after actual military FCGs (unlike the Tapco).

     

    Do you have a cleaning kit like this?

    If so, the little ¾" steel pin is there to hold the trigger and disconnecter together for reassembly while in the field.

     

    It is pushed out when you insert the pivot pin.

     

     

    (y'all know y'all was wonderin' what that that little pin was for)

    Like this one only I ordered the 2 stage version

     

    I did not know they made triggers, cool, I would say it will work it is only a spring and should be the exact same diameter....

    Arsenal's US-made trigger groups are notorious for "trigger slap", as they're designed to work with Arsenal rifles only. If your rifle doesn't have the overtravel bump sticking out of the bottom of the receiver (aka "the huge fuc***g rivet"), trigger slap is inevitable with these.

     

     

     

    To the OP, a disconnecter spring from any of the more than 60,000,000 Kalashnikovs (including the Saiga) out there will work in your new FCG.

  12. I guess the rifle guys don't get no love . . .

     

     

    From a thread in the shotgun side of the house that asked near the same question:

    I have the JTE trigger guard/ AR grip adapter on my S12 and I LOVE my Magpul MOE grip. wub.gif

     

    I'm not sure if it goes for all bolt on trigger guards........but I do know the Tromix isn't compatible with rifles.

    The S12 is pretty much it's own gun.

     

    Non-caliber specific accessories for the rifles will fit the S20, and S410 w/o any issues.

    Forum vendor K-Var has 100 series folders in again. Just a heads up! :super:

     

    Are there any alternatives to this that might use an internal receiver mount?

     

    I generally avoid kvar like the plague. While they may have some unique/proprietary products, I try not to get price gouged when I can help it. Kvar can't be the only one with these.

    You can always order from Great Britain or Russia.

     

    K-Var is the only place in the USA with them in quantities.
