I would love to pick up a M-Lok version, any plans for it? Thanks.
-
Yeah, I thought this project was dead, nice to see they are still working on it. Not holding my breath but will pick one up for sure if/when they come to market.
-
Do you think it being applied on a thread adapter connected to the barrel with a lot of heat generated would negate its benefits while shooting, and it loosen significantly?
-
So, I wanted to use PWS FSC 556 that uses 1/2x28 RH Threads and found a great 14x1 LH to 1/2x28 RH Thread Adapter at CNC Warrior. Since CNC is a LH twist and the PWS is a RH twist I am going semi permanently attach the CNC adapter piece so I can tighten the PWS without the CNC spinning lose. My question is what should I use? Red or Blue locktite? Teflon tape really only helps with indexing, any recommendations?

Ymmv but I have not had good luck with SGM mags. They have lots of flashing leftover on the inside, didn't run smooth, and the ones I have had have never left me impressed. Also P-Mags come in 25rds also now in .308 for $20-$25. I called them last week and they just built that prototype and and just getting their backlog work done, they are not even taking quotes on services or conversions right now. I am sure they will in the future but they had no timeline when I called.

Just going out on a limb, but I don't think the Tapco triggers are setup for 3.5lb pull. Compared to other rifles with light triggers I have, it feels more like 6-8 and I don't know harpin doesnt come to mind for me. They are not double stage but unless somthing works its way into your trigger guard or you re-profiled your hammer quite a bit I cant see it going off from a drop. I do understand that idea an notion and can relate, I use a Glock Saf-T Blok on my G26 carry gun for that same reason, but that is inside my pants with a lot more chance for contact or snags.

Okay so that was my next post, have you seen the V02 gas tubes at Dinzang, I emailed them and it looks like it is a solution to using standard 2 pc hanguards, what do you think? Bottom of the page: http://www.dinzagarms.com/saiga_762x39/gastubes.html Here was the info I got from them: "The gas tube swap you just have to tap the cross pin out in the rear flip aperature, remove the aperature - be sure to not loose the 2 springs - then swap tubes & reinstall." I was going to use the Bolt on HG retainer w/ it as well. See any problems?
-
Solid, thanks for the info. Liberty, in general did you perfer the 01 or 02 Vepr's?
-
So some guys on AK Files were talking about how the bolt carrier on the 02 "Integrated Sight" models "seemed" longer than the 01 versions and it might actually be a longer piston. Can anyone verify this?
-
Yes, numerous responses from importers including RWC, ackowledge they will, and it seems the consensus is they are marked .223 for importation "sporting" reasons only, what ever the hell that means...
-
Their website doesn't say if the triggers are single stage or two stage. The one I bought for my Vepr 12 from them a couple years ago was single stage, I believe all their triggers are and the only two stage triggers that come to mind are red star and arsenal.
-
Since the Russian 5.56 bolt is out of stock will any 5.45 bolt work or whats the rule on these?
-
Yeah I would love to, but I think those Saiga .223 bolts they have listed were from back a few years ago when they were doing Saiga conversions and since they arent anymore, I wonder if they will ever again. I have called a few times in the past year and they said they were out of stock and wouldnt know if they would be getting more in again I know lots of AK-74 kit bulds guys have rebarreled in 5.56 with the same bolts, but yeah the difference in spring loaded firing pins is noteworthy.
-
So I know mancat and others have addressed that a 5.45 bolt fo a AK-74 can work in a Saiga with the caveat that slam fires could possibly occur. Is this the right part? Does anyone know a source for the besides K-Var? https://www.k-var.com/shop/AK-182R.html Also if anyone knows where I can find an actual .223 bolt like this one, or wants to give a spare up.... Let me know! https://www.k-var.com/shop/AK-557R.html I am getting ready to do a big project with a new Saiga 20" .223 from J&G and just wanted to make sure I had an extra bolt with all the money I am putting into it,
-
I was wondering if you might have acess to these .223 Saiga Bolts https://www.k-var.com/shop/AK-557R.html ? I know you guys do not do Saiga conversions anymore, but any info or sources would help a ton. Also from your expertise have you seen any problems using the Saiga 5.45 Bolts in .223's? https://www.k-var.com/shop/AK-182R.html Thank you!

srry for the double post my Mac is freaking out, plesae feel free to delete this one, thanks!
-
This, any news or a timeline?
-
Thanks guys, yeah I looked all around and saw a bunch of 14x1 LH brakes, I guess I thought that with the larger exit hole of the x39 it would somehow be less effective. I have a AK 74 Style brake on my N-Pap, I guess I will try that out, thanks.
-
I was wondering if there are any .223/5.56 specific brakes in 14x1 LH to use on the Vepr .223 or what you guys use on your muzzles after exposing those threads. Thanks!
-
I think the converted .223's at J&G for 549 are a great deal right now, especially compared to Legion's "collectors edition" with the detachable butstock. There arent many easy stock replacments for those. I would like to see some unconverted ones come in around $400, I would pick up a few.
