  1. I want to use the Saiga factory skeleton stock on my gun (works on unconverted Saiga) - so I can't use the Monsterman grip but thanks - the bullet button idea sounds good - the only one I was able to find only works on the AK (Trigger forward) configuration - anyone know of any other options? Seems like someone with mad skill (Dinzag) could mill out a small hunk of metal (like a thimble) that would slide over the mag release - it could attach by replacing the pin that holds the mag release lever - fit flush up against the gun with a small hole to permit the user to push a bullet tip (ak
  2. If you have an AR hang on to it. I have been building several for my guys here and I usually build with the DPMS receivers. I can usually build a chrome lined M-4 for about $700. Well since the anouncement of the new gun bill, there are no receivers to be found. Everyone has a waiting list for the quality ones and I refuse to build crap. If you got it keep it. Your $800.00 dollar (dealer price) rifle may soon get quite valuble (just like in the good ole gun ban days). The guys at AR.com have nice things to say about the Superior Arms Stripped Lowers - any feedback on those?
  3. I guess they did because I don't remember getting the shipping label (could be wrong though). I'm not slamming you but your email said you would take the defective one back and return a working one to me then you refunded my money and when I said I wanted the mag not the money you said I had to pay $3 more to cover your paypal fees (which I got charged on your $20 back to me BTW) - that's the truth. It's no big deal - so no reason to get upset - I like the five I got that worked (heck I dug out your email to refer markdam to you) and you didn't rip me off for the purchase price - but I didn
  4. Great thanks Outlaw - Bullet button method of making the mag fixed sounds really good to me - hope I can find one for the AK. Best. "Both the oligarch and Tyrant mistrust the people, and therefore deprive them of arms." --Aristotle
  5. Thanks JK-47 - not familiar with a monsterman grip or any other legal pistol grip but would love to find out more - can you provide a link or ? Also, I have checked a little and it seems as you stated that if the mag requires a tool to remove it is considered fixed. If anyone knows of a mag release that would work on a Saiga that requires a tool please let me know. If we have any AK/AR crossover types here that can point me to the AR drop in part maybe I can one or point Dinzag to it and see if he can make something up???
  6. Hi fellas - I'm stuck in California (don't ask - someday I'll "escape") and I'd like to have some of the so called evil features (pistol grip or skeleton stock in particular) on my Saiga. I saw a thread on another board a few months ago (can't find it now) that talked about a method for fixing the magazine so that it complied with the definition of fixed magazine under the law (so you don't fall under the assault weapon definition) but was reversable (if I ever move or people here wake up and change the ridiculaous laws). Has anyone looked into doing this on a Saiga or have any other links f
  7. That one looks like a 1" tube. Given the way red dots work (both eyes open infinite relief) - is there any advantage to a larger tube (42mm or 50mm) vs. a smaller tube (1" or 30mm)?
  8. I'm going to put a red dot sight on a .223 - could use some input. Any suggestions as to size, type, brands (to seek and those to avoid) and the like appreciated. Is 30mm too small?
  9. I use these - they work well on mine. http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/ARR103-44883-2699.html
  10. Hey USMCM16A2 - How much is Ammo Bros charging for the .223 and .308?
  11. Anybody got any factory mags they want to sell? Let me know by PM or otherwise. Thanks.
  12. Anybody got any factory ten rounders that they want to sell? Let me know by PM or otherwise.
  13. I agree with your implication that too many folks are looking for submoa out of a battle rifle design - more precision required for submoa tends to cause problems in the real world battle rifles live in (dirt and sand = no boom). I also agree if you want subMOA best to go bolt action. I am a little confused and perhaps misunderstood your concern over the AK gas system regarding sensitivity to ammuntion - I have never heard that before (but I'll just add that to a long list). My experience (and that I have read about) has been the AK design eats anything under any conditions. So when you s
  14. Why not get one of each caliber - the prices of these guns for the quality is awesome. The mag situation does bug me and I hope a cheaper source for .308 mags surfaces at some point. For the .223 get the dinzag feedramp and you can use lots of different mags (keep it 922 compliant). In the .223 I like the shorter length. For me beyond 150 yards I'm going to use the .308 (with 21.8 inch barrel) so having a shorter, handier carbine in .223 for close in suits my situation. I also think staying with NATO rounds .223 and .308 is possibly better for SHTF situations just because ammo might be a
  15. My skeleton stock was factory installed, and yes there is a screw in the bottom of the grip, and two on top. Kaiser - Just so I am clear (I asked the question badly before), is the screw on the bottom INSIDE the grip cavity - up through the trigger guard and into the stock center block? Or is it just a screw at the bottom of the grip (holding a cover in place). If the latter, can you remove the plate at the bottom of the grip and look inside to see if there is a screw up inside the cavity - through the trigger guard and into the stock center block and please report back. Those of us
  16. If I was spending $100 I would definately be looking at other scopes. I don't mind spending $$$ to get a great scope for my M70 but for a inexpensive semi-auto that shoots 2-3" groups I don't want to get more scope than I need. I just want something that is reliable, waterproof, fog proof and stays sighted in. I hear you that you get what you pay for in optics - I guess I am just wondering how much clarity do I need for this weapon. Maybe my cheap nature is blinding me. Finally if I have both an accurate gun and a great scope what the hell am I going to be able to blame all my misses on?
  17. Thanks fellas - on the bottom screw issue Krebs seems to think not needed. I was on a trip to AZ and a friend dry fit a skeleton on his and we almost couldn't get it off with no screws. That combined with the fact that the most violent part of the use of the gun forces the stock into the gun makes me think the bottom screw might not be necessary. It would be nice to be sure - - does anyone have a saiga that came from the factory with a Skeleton Stock on it? If so, give a look up the handle grip cavity and let us know if you see a screw.
  18. Thanks for the response. I went to 24hourcampfire.com but couldn't see how to search it. That site seems to be very focused on high end stuff (I could be wrong). The other reviews I have read on Cabella's and some other gun sites have been very positive about Barska scopes. I am not expecting Nikon or Leupold performance - I wouldn't put one of those scopes on a Saiga anyway - primarily because I'm poor and secondly probably overkill for this weapon. Maybe I'll pick up Barska and report back - in the meantime other thoughts welcome.
  19. The word I got back from Krebs on the bottom screw is: "It appears that it's just the two screws on the top. There's no provision for the bottom screw." Now can someone tell me how to adjust the cheek piece?
  20. I need to scope my Saiga and saw this scope pretty cheap online - anyone use it? Any comments pros/cons appreciated.
  21. Does the cheekpiece on this skeleton stock adjust and if so how? . . . and yes I know I'm a dumbass (just to get that out of the way)
