Well, after a rough start, I got my .660 / .670 barrel threaded to 5/8 - 24. The M60 FH fits perfect and looks great. A big thanks to everyone on this thread, especially those who answered my questions. For anyone doing this for the first time, I can't emphasize enough how important it is to back out at least 2 or 3 times the distance every time you thread forward in order to break off the chips and clean out the threads. Also use lots of cutting fluid, I used Ballistol, and it worked great. Personally I didn't like threading the barrel in a horizontal position, and put the r

Is my .308 receiver an odd size? Scope mount question
ManOnTheHIll replied to ManOnTheHIll's topic in Saiga .308
10 4 Thanks for the info. Any suggestions for how to set it up ie: little corrections or ways to aim slightly off or just zero it in as if it were aligned dead center? Thanks! P.S. - I love your profile pic/video. Awesome -
I'm on my 2nd scope mount that sits too far to the right. My most recent try is the Kalika BP02 and it sits .2 inches to the right of dead center. Is this normal? I would think you would want your scope as close to dead center of the barrel as possible. .2 inches is a little too much to adjust with metal shims in the two places where the screws attach the upper part of the mount to the lower part of the mount. My receiver measures anywhere from 1.37 inches wide to 1.42 inches wide, depending on where I measure. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

The Samson Leaf Sight rail might be useful for the Kpup:

After removing and pushing back the front sight block off of a Saiga .308, I figured I was smart enough to fix the canted sight on my Century Arms milled receiver Polish AKM 60. Apparently not that easy. I took out the pins and bashed away at it with a soft mallet but the sucker won't move. Any chance these are threaded on? Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

Adjustable AK side mount... any opinions?
ManOnTheHIll replied to ManOnTheHIll's topic in Saiga .308
It looks like TufForce won't stand behind their product, and I don't recommend buying it. To make it work I'll have to drill and tap some new screw holes, but it doesn't attach to the scope rail very snug unless you really crank down the screws, which makes me feel like they will strip. Going to order a Kalinka standard. -
Thanks!

Alright. Thanks!

Alright, after moving my sight block and reading this post concerning threading a .670 barrel to 5/8-24, I have decided to give it a whirl so I can thread on an M60 flash hider. I just wanted to double check with you all to see if you think it will work before the tools get here from Dinzag. I haven't seen anyone mention this configuration on a .308. Mine has a .660" OD to start, then steps up to .670" at .400" up the barrel. Anyone think I shouldn't do it? Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Thanks for this post. It made me brave enough to just go ahead and do mine. I was going to send it out, but after reading this post I went for it with the little dremel sanding wheel. I needed to bore the back .45" out an additional .025". I went slow and measured many times. Pounded it back on with a rubber mallet, re-set the original pins, and viola! Of course I also fixed the slight cant of the factory front sight install. Thanks again! I saved a little cash and now feel smart enough to fix the cant on the front sight of my other AK.

Here's a great cleaning video. I love Hickok45.

I haven't decided on a scope yet. Probably something in the 6x to 10x range. Update on the mount. It sits 1/4 or more too far to the right. I wrote to TufForce to inquire about returning it. Haven't heard back yet. If they won't take it back I might just drill and tap some new holes and make it fit.
