  1. Ideas for optics on .308 Kushnapup?

    in Saiga .308

    Posted · Edited by N2OJoe

    Epoxy done right, can be very durable but I don't think I could ever really trust it by itself. I'm definitely going to try your chalk idea though!

     

    I'm thinking something similar to this http://www.amazon.com/QuadBoss-Luggage-U-Bolt-Clamp-19-Z012/dp/B000WK4CKC/ref=sr_1_131?ie=UTF8&qid=1381166913&sr=8-131&keywords=u+bolt+clamp with a stud in the middle to use the factory holes in the rail.

    Thanks for the advice guys. I did try this Ultimak http://www.carolinashooterssupply.com/product_p/ultimak-vepr-rail-m3-b.htm even though it clearly says it fits .308, it's way out of alignment vertically, it's too short, and the mounting rings are way too small to get anywhere near making contact with the screws.

     

    Were you able to use a magnified scope with that mount, Spacehog? I had a short stock on it before the kush and i couldn't mount the scope far enough forward for it to not hit my glasses when I fired.

     

    I havent been to the range or fired it yet, but the only thing I dislike about the stock overall is the horribly weak reset spring for the trigger(and the fact that they don't sell it already cut out for a converted gun). If you tighten down the screws too much on the stock, it doesn't reset sometimes and is very sluggish when it does. I intend to get a stronger spring for it though I am concerned the little plastic tabs it rests on may not handle a really strong spring.

    I recently installed the Kushnapup stock on my converted .308 but I'm having a hard time with optics. The gas tube rails don't fit, the side mount is out of the question for obvious reasons, and I'm running out of ideas.

     

    The mount needs to be forward of the rear sight leaf for eye relief. I'm no gunsmith but I stumbled along and did the conversion myself as well as modding the kushnapup linkage to work on the converted rifle, but im not sure I could make a sturdy enough optics mount with some cheap ebay rail and U bolts. Does anyone have any ideas before I set off on this project?

  5. Is the 308 saiga still being imported???

    I've been searching high and low for ver 21, but the only ones I've found were either private sellers or "companies" that only take money orders. I like CC or paypal if I can't meet face-to-face, so I'm still on hunt as well.

    I may have to settle for a regular 21" and convert it, but I don't want to pay +$100 for an extra 5-6" of barrel.

  8. First time @ the range w/ my Saiga 12

    I just took mine for the first time also, and as I expected, it wouldn't cycle birdshot at all(yes it was on setting 2). I will definitely be having the bolt polished, but is polishing the bolt all you need for most guns? On a side note: whats up the BHO nub? It must have gotten hit as it fired and sunk up into the gun. Well after pulling out my hair trying to figure out the manual(definitely translated Russian --> English!)I pulled this tiny gray nub next to/above the trigger and the bolt finally snapped shut!
