  1. As stated in the title, I have 2 Tapco T6 collapsable stocks for sale. These are like new but no longer in plastic. Retail price is $53, I will sell these for $45 including shipping. Shipping will be Priority Mail through the USPS. PM me and we can work out shipping and payment info. I do accept paypal but will need you to eat the fees if you choose to pay with a credit card. Regards, Mitch
  2. Not deer sized but I have used the 154gr from my sks on wood chucks at about 75 yards & another at 10 yards. These chucks go anywhere from 15 - 25 lbs. Of the three I shot none had an exit wound, all where shot in the front shoulder area from the side. I haven't cut one open but when tossing them in their hole the insides felt like they had gone to mush, very different from hitting one with a .22lr. Not the effect I thought they would have, I expected a large exit hole but the round killed them. I have recovered a couple of the bullets from other things I have shot (water jugs, blocks
  3. When I manually chamber a round I always let the bolt "fly" forward. Next time I have a chance to shoot I will try the body position test and also try manually chambering more rounds than just the first. Thanks for the help.
  4. GonzoX I am a newbie and all but your comments have me wondering if you have even looked at a picture of a factory Saiga with the original stock, let alone a modified one with a different stock. The Saiga butt stock is long giving at least an equal length of pull to most American made hunting rifles. For alot of people, myself included it is too long of a reach to the forward handguard and the trigger with the Saiga stock. You are correct when you say a European butt stock is short, to short for me. I have no experience with a NATO length stock but at 1.5 - 2 inches longer than an European
  5. I don't think it is oil in the clean bore since it will do it after multiple magazine have been fired. I also don't think it is the barrel heating up in this case since I can shoot the first one then a couple more, drop the mag, shoot, insert mag, chamber a round manually and have the POI be the same as the very first round. Seems to me this is related to the difference between chambering the round manually and the gun doing so automatically. I guessing I am wondering if the action will "free" up some or if there is something I can do to improve this.
  6. I bought a .223 a month ago to go with the x39 I have had for a couple of years. I ran about 60 rounds through it to make sure it functioned and then converted it. The gun functions fine however, the 1st round chambered manually shoots to a completely different POI compared to the rest of the rounds. When I did the conversion I added a Blackjack buffer, with the buffer installed the POI would be 2 - 4 inches high at 25 yards. Knowing the buffer isn't a big deal on the .223 and thinking it might be the problem I removed it and did more shooting. Now the 1st shot is 2 - 3 inches low compare
  7. Welcome, I have had a 7.62 for a few years now and it did not come with an accuracy report from the factory however, uncoverted(bad trigger) it will shoot 2 - 3 inch groups with the iron sights and 2 inch with a 4x PSOP scope. I bought a .223 a couple of weeks ago and just finished the conversion yesterday with the exception of a bullit guide. The conversion is very easy to do and for me really improves the ergonomics of the rifle. I plan on converting my 7.62 in the next couple of months. LRBHO, if you convert your rifle you should be able to use the Yugo mags which have the integra
  8. I am working on my first coversion and if I understand the NY law correctly since the Saiga can take a detachable magazine I am only allowed to have one "evil" feature. Is this correct? I think this mean if you use a pistol grip then you can't use a folding/telescoping stock. If you are from a different state the NY law is the same as the now expired federal law. Thanks for any input.
  9. I am converting my .223 and am starting to look at magazine options. 35 round magazines are fine and dandy but aren't really practical for me when walking around with the gun or plinking. I have done some looking in the topics here and at the various online stores but haven't come up with anything available in the 15 - 20 round size. Even factory 10 rounders would be okay, does anyone online sell these for less than $30? And lastly are there cheap 10 round mags available to be used in a converted rifle? Thanks, cmb
  10. Okay, I don't know how I missed it in the past but I found a post explaining the trigger difference. Probably should have used a single but the extra slot to cut won't be a big deal. Mitch
  11. I have had a 7.62 x 39 saiga for a couple of years now and been lurking here ever since. Last weekend I picked up one in .223. The 7.62 has been great, the .223 POI is way off the POA out of the box but that can be corrected. I ordered parts from midwest for my first conversion this week. I ordered the Tapco set for the Saiga with collapsable stock, pistol grip, and handgaurd. I also ordered a double hook trigger. I have never done any work on a gun before but with all the info here plus having a second gun to look at I should be ok. My plan is to convert one of the guns, see how it goe
