  1. Hello,

     

    I am considering getting a saiga, either in 7.62x39 or 223. I have not decided yet, maybe you all can help. for a newbie like myself, what are the advantages of converting this rifle, is it not reliable as it comes from the factory? I have no other semi auto rifles besides a Ruger Ranch rifle, so I dont really care what magazines I use as long as they are completely reliable and somewhat durable. Please explain why you guys are converting these rifles before you even take them to the range?

     

    Also, is there a difference in reliability or compatibility with either the x39 or 223? is one easier to convert than the other should I decide to go that route. Essentially I just want a nice pair of rifles to take to the range now and again and put a few hundred rouds through. They will also serve as my security blanket when I think about the eminent zombie invasion. I will keep several thousand rounds and these rifles and my 9mm's ready to go....just in case ;)

     

    Any input you all have will be greatly appreciated.

     

    Regards,

  2. Hello,

     

    I am looking to purchase two Saiga 223's or maybe even 7.62x39's.... haven't quite decided yet. I have never owned an AK or variant and am pretty new to semi-auto rifles. I have been hunting and shooting for 30 years, typically with bolt rifles and revolvers.

     

    My question is, where can I find the best deal on a pair of 223's or x39's? Any other tips are appreciated such as what mags are most reliable / cost effective or just general tips for a greenhorn etc...

     

    Regards,
