  5. shooting low?

    in Saiga .223

    Posted

    btw, my range is only like 40-50 yards. I have to place the bottom of my retical (holographic sight) at the top of the target to even put the hole on the paper. I'm not a marksman and have no desire to be, just want a reliable self defense weapon with the occasional target shooting.

  6. shooting low?

    in Saiga .223

    Do saigas typically shoot low? I've put two different sights on my .223 yielding the same results. Not sure whats going on, but I'm getting frustrated. I am bottoming out on two different red dots, I aim, dead center and i'm hitting about a foot low. Like, I said I can't adjust the sight anymore...not sure if I'm doing something wrong or even how to correct the problem. Would putting a riser under my sights aleiveate this? Please help!

  7. 223 crush washer

    in Saiga .223

    I was on css.com to order a muzzle break. Im looking at the tapco razr, its 14x1 lh threading. I noticed there are two different crush washers available and im not sure what one to order. One is listed as 14x1 however there is another one that says for the 223. Anyone know which one I need? Also, anyone have any experience with that muzzle break? It looks cool, but there are some others in the same price range. Do forum members still get a discount there? When I ordered my trigger group I remember inputting a code someone gave me to use. Thanks for your help.

  8. Finished conversion

    Posted · Edited by jeremyx28

    So, I just finished fully converting my saiga. When I originally purchased this rifle I had no intention on moving the trigger group. I think it came down to just a fear of screwing something up. I am relatively new to the world of firearms, purchased my first gun this March(2012). I bought the rifle brand new from Bud's, you all know how it looks...montecarlo style stock and plain forearm. I then went and purchased the Tapco intrafuse system (stock, pistol grip and forearm). I put these items on and thought I was happy. With these items, I was able to buy and use the Surefire 30 round mags. Well, I just wasnt happy with the way it looked, felt and shot. So I looked at a few pics, asked a few questions and watched a few videos, and finally decided to nut up and just go for it. I went onto carolinashooterssupplies and purchased everything I needed to replace and move the trigger group. The whole process went very smoothly and I had alot of fun doing it. I never stripped a gun down like this before and with carolina's videos posted on their site, it made the process a snap. The gun feels so much more balanced and looks so much cleaner. I was pretty impressed with myself when the job was all said and done...not sure if this sounds wierd or not, but I was sad when I was finished. I didn't want the job to be over cause I really enjoyed my time inside the firearm and had alot of fun working on it. I'm posting some pics of my rifle before the trigger group conversion and after. To anyone that hasn't done this yet because your worried it may be too difficult....don't be. Its not hard, just take your time and enjoy it. You really "get to know" your gun alot better and how everything ticks down there. Now, I need another project....not sure where I want to go next with this rifle.....
