  1. i dont have a camera.. if u pretend this capitol "O" is wut u see when u look at the gas block strait on with the gas tube off the bottom of the gas block is worn more than the rest of the gas block like the piston is just barly bindin but not enough to efect the functionality of the gun and rubbing a wear spot where it makes contact.. the metal is a little thinner too..probobly normal

  2. hey guys..so i have this draco quad rail i modded to fit on my saiga 7.62x39..it bolts togeather with 4 allen screws and does not require an upper hand gaurd retainer..it is very nice and works well but i had to grind on it a bit to get it to fit right cuz it was binding up the gas piston..now when i take my gas tube off i can see the the lower half of the gas block has a little more wear on it than the top..like the metal is a lil bit thinner..is this normal?

    with the handgaurd bolted down tight i think it might be binding it just a little tiny bit..like not enough to matter cuz it cycles smoothly but enough to wear on the gas block a bit or the wear is normal.?

    Any help is much appriciated thanks.

  3. i have a saiga 7.62x39 and i shoot bout 700 rnds per month.. the gun is overgassed so the carrier hits the trunnion everytime..i change the recoil spring to a wolff exra power spring and i still hits just not as bad..i have a black jack buffer and that helps a lot with the metal to metal contact.. what i wanna know is can the buffer cause more damage to the gun..like bend the rivits or something..? wut should i do? if i was rich i would just buy a bunch of 7.62x39's and change out parts whenever one breaks..but i am not..any opinions are welcome thankyou.

  4. i did have some problems with the buffer interfering with the disconnecter before. i wanted to keep it because it seems to help keep the case dings down. that is a simple thing to try though thanks

    case dings are caused by shell ejection hittin the dust cover..take a dremel and file 1/8 inch off of first ridge..
  5. I have an ACE fixed skeleton stock on my saiga 7.62. I love the stock but after firing about 200 rds the 2 allen bolts that hold the stock to the receiver were so loose that when I picked the gun up by the pistol grip after coming home from the range the butt stock came off and the rest of the gun was still laying in the case. I know now that I should have put loctite on the 2 bolts when I first bought the stock and put it on but I did get them very tight and honestly I didn't realize the bolt was hitting the rear of the receiver that hard. Also the instructions that came from ACE said nothing about using it. I put blue loctite on the bolts when I put it back together and I also installed the Blackjack recoil buffer. I haven't fired the gun yet. What I'm asking is is this type of recoil normal? Will the loctite be enough? And does the recoil buffer affect reliability? I have fired 700 to 800 rds through this gun and have never had any malfunction whatsoever and for what I bought this gun for reliability is the most important thing for me.

     

    You don't need the recoil buffer unless your gun is over-gassed. It won't reduce recoil, only prevent the bolt carrier from hitting the rear truncheon of your receiver if it's over gassed thus reducing wear and tear. A normal ak design doesn't make any (or at least very little) contact with the reciever. It shouldn't affect recoil or reliability in any case. Loctite should be enough to keep the screws in place.

    wrong wrong wrong indeed..EVERY god damn AK-47 slams its carrier into the rear trunnion..overgassed or not i think they all slam.
  6. i have the spring and it helped a little bit but it still hits sometimes..its mushrooming where the bolt contacts the carrier a little bit it doesnt look horrible or anything..im just wondering if i dont get a buffer or something it might eventually beat it self to death..this is my favorite gun and i love the shit outta it..i shoot like 3 times a week and i know an ak has a long life span i just hope mine does..

  7. Buy an extra ak spring cut it down into 4 pcs. Take one of the 1/4 pcs cut it in half add that to your spring and try it. If it fails thats too much, take a coil out. If that doesn't fix it, you need remove the extra pieces and add the buffer. Your other option is remove the current gas block, weld up the holes and redrill the correct size

    thank you that helps
  8. In case anybody is wondering how to fix the bolt carrier to trunnion contact your answer is not a buffer..i tried one out and removed it and threw it away after 20 rounds..it was unnatural..my wolff extra power recoil spring arrived a couple days ago and i tested it out yestarday..no more extremly violent contact between the trunnion and carrier..i doubt it touches at all..
