    Another kudos for the DPH clip on Brake/Flash suppressor. The big brown truck dropped it off today. It's solid! Nice work, Scott.

    Glad I could help. Personally, I'd not scope it either. For the purposes you describe I'd put a quailty Red Dot on it instead. Don't skimp in this area either. Some good ones are Aimpoint Comp C3: http://www.onesourcetactical.com/index.asp...&ProdID=753 I have this one, and I like it a lot. Another one I'd not be ashamed of is: http://www.rusmilitary.com/html/sight_pk-01.htm Just remember you have to convert the currency from British Sterling to U.S. for the latter. As of today it converts to 251.172 US dollars, plus the shipping. Many people can't justify paying as much or

    Don't get one of those. Get one of these: http://www.onesourcetactical.com/index.asp...amp;ProdID=1631 Too expensive? Then try one of these as a good second choice: http://www.rusmilitary.com/html/sight_mounts.htm MTK Weaver-siderail mount. Still to much? Then try this: http://www.goodoptics.com/good/28 I have one of those, and it works great. If you choose this one the only thing you'll have to do is remove the screws and locktight them. They are rather loose from the factory. Clean the threads with alcohol before you apply the thread lock and your good to go.

    Welcome to the forum, Cino. Right now it's catch as catch can since the elections. If you find any AK variant expect to pay a premium price, and get there early. In the world of Saiga's you simply cannot go wrong even if it's unconverted. One of the most common AK variants your likely to see is the WASR 10 Romanian imported by Century Arms. These are a roll of the dice gun. Many were put together with second rate military parts and quality can range from very poor to acceptable. Look for canted front sight blocks, mill marks in the receiver and magazine well. The wood is usually unfi

    Thanks for video, Kolya. There is a very significant difference. It sold me. I've got one on order.
  6. UnidenStew
    Thankee kindly, Unclejake. Does it come loose or anything like that? Looks like I might git me one, too.
  7. UnidenStew
    What I wanna know is, does it actually suppress the muzzle flash?
  8. UnidenStew
    I make my own moisture absorbers for storage in those ammo cans. Use kitty litter and some #4 coffee filters. Get some glue from the local stationary store to seal them. Just put a couple in there and your good to go for an indefinite period.
  9. UnidenStew
    NO, do not sell! The ammo situation is temporary. We went through the same thing back in the Klinton years. It's just a repeat of the same. Give it a few months to stabilize. In the meantime it's catch as catch can. Try here: http://www.ammunitiontogo.com/catalog1/ind...ammo-click-here And you can also try here: http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/cb.aspx?a=492914 The Yugo is mildly corrosive, however, its brass cased and re loadable. Get it now. It's not bad ammo. It was manufactured to kill us Americans so it's real mil spec stuff. The Brown/Silver Bear is excellent as

    Cool! Please let us know if it actually cuts down on flash. Shooting an AK at dusk is almost blinding. I couldn't believe the amount of flash.
  11. UnidenStew
    Is that a "Brake" or a "Flash Suppressor?" Does it actually cut down or eliminate flash?
  12. UnidenStew
    922r aside, Dinzags FCG will improve your weapon by leaps and bounds. Much crisper trigger control. Even better is the Red Star FCG. That is fully adjustable and can be set to single stage or double, however, it's twice the price. And DaveM, is right on. Don't give the gun grabbers a reason to lock you up. You never know when a range Nazi is going to sneak up on you so keep it legal. I doubt the U.S. is going to collapse in the next three months or so. What you will see is a slight economic recovery while the Obama disciples continue on an extended honeymoon wooing their messiah for

    Havoc308 is right. You have to lock tight all the screws as they come rather loose from the factory. I'm polly the guy that posted the link about the modified BP with the rail cut and centered between the shoulders. It only works for a dot sight, but that's what I got on mine and I'm very pleased with the results. I've only had one outing at the range so far, but from what I've experienced it holds it's zero, but like I said, you have to lock tight everything. It also helps if you adjust the lever tension so that you begin to feel resistance at about the midway point or a little before.

    UnidenStew replied to danh427's topic in Saiga 7.62 X 39

    Tritum is right. That grouping means nothing. My paper stated even a worse spread. I bothered me so much that I contacted Clyde at RAA about it. Long story short, he said those are test fire groups off hand and should not reflect the true capability of the rifle. Try it out and if it don't shoot better than that we will bend over backwards to make you happy. When spring came and I benched it out I was more than pleased. Since then I converted it and installed a Red Star FCG and put a modified BP-O2 side mount topped with and Aimpoint CompC3. Late last fall just prior to opening day I grou

    It mounts on the FSB making it way way to high.
  16. UnidenStew
    Yeah, I agree with 22 shooter. I really do like that Eotech though. It's just that on the Ultimak rail I read many a thread in other forums about the possibility of failure do to heat issues with the batteries. It also adds a lot of weight making the gun front heavy. Once I took it off I tried mounting it on my 870, and it was even worse than had I put it on the BP-02 for the Saiga. It was so high I would have had to shoulder the gun using only the top corner of the stock. Shooting slugs was completely out of question at that point. I sold it and got the Aimpoint and was done with it. How

    The brighter the setting, the larger the dot. I chose the 2 MOA because I like to sand bag it at greater ranges. However for quick close up shooting most guys in Iraq choose the 4MOA, however much of there encounters are close quarters, indoors or fast moving targets. It all depends on how you want to set your weapon system up. All I can do it tell you what I like/dislike. I like the Ultimak mounting system. It's rock solid and you can cowitness with the Aimpoint, but what I don't like about it is the inability to quickly remove the gas tube for cleaning without having to re-zero the weapon e

    I have the Aimpoint CompC3 with a 2MOA on a modified BP-02 mount Dinzag did. It sits very low to the receiver and is centered over the bore. It's a nice sight and you can get the illusion of a bigger dot by turning up the brightness. The smaller dot size gives you more accuracy on smaller targets, but the bigger dot size is quicker in a combat environment. Most combat personal use the 4 MOA, whereas guys like me that like to hit smaller targets out to 100 yards prefer the smaller size. It's the best sight system for the ultimak setup because the heat won't affect it as much. The best

    Now that is what I'm looking for! Pure genius. Thankee much, Willington.
  20. UnidenStew
    Thanks all for the ideas and suggestions. Jailbait is right. There is little room for any shielding since the bottom portion touches the barrel. So I think I'll just leave it alone for now. Eventually I'll invest in a DPH aluminum handguard and problem solved, albeit some expense.

    I like it! Will those plastic snap on rectangular rail covers fit on both the bottom and sides, and do you sell them, too? I think they're made by UTG but not sure. Also, is there a sling loop attachment on it, or is that separate? I can't tell from the pics. http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?showto...st&p=294141 http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?showto...st&p=294142 How cool. I guess I'll be adding one to my buy list. Thanks Damage.

  25. UnidenStew
    Off topic, but what is the hand guard in the pic? Is it a rifle or shotgun hand guard? If they are rifle, can you offer any info on them? Inquiring minds wanna know. Oh, and yeah, put me on the list for the muzzle attachment, too.
