    +1. I received a PM from him as well. I believe he's probably harvesting email addresses as well. I tried to send a PM to an Admin but never could get it to go through. Guntoter

    Thanks for the info. I haven't been around much but back when I bought my Saiga these were being touted here as better than sliced bread. Time must have not borne out the hype, huh? Guess I'll need to scrounge some .223 mags. Thanks, Guntoter

    Or... if you don't want to register and give another site your email and info you can snag the raw .flv file out of your browser cache and convert it to WMV, AVI, etc. using a free FLV converter. I use Free FLV but there are many free coverters on the net. Thanks for that link Superhawk138. Guntoter Or, or, you can use Firefox, download the DownloadHelper application and it'll snag any embedded video file at the source and save it to your computer in its original state! Isn't the internet grand? Internet HIGH-FIVE! Please do! I make a pretty good living repairing Window

    I'd like to pick up a few .223 followers to use in the 5.45 mags I've collected. Is there a source for these other than Robinson? They appear to have them in stock but no on-line ordering and I'd like to find some cheaper than $6.00. Thanks, Guntoter

    Thanks Vjor, Seriously considered that before but I haven't had much luck getting paint to stick to plastic. If you've had good results from Duracoat then I need to give it a try. When you say "95% Alcohol" do you mean Denatured Alcohol or Isopropyl? I've got everything I'd need to apply the stuff in my shop so I'll give it a try. Thanks, Guntoter P.S. WTH is up with "email notification"? I only get a notice of reply on about a third of the threads I've posted in.

    To tell the truth I'm kind of liking the stock forend right now. That may change once it's converted though. I believe I will get the forearm adapter when I order the bullet guide from Dinzag just so I can try it both ways. I wish the stock forearm was available in different colors. I kind of like the looks of the olive drab stock/pg that K-var sells but it would look odd with black forearm. Guntoter

    Horseman, Apologies for hi-jacking your other thread. Can you post a pic or link for the 3rd gen scope mount you used. I still haven't shot my Saiga yet and need to get a decent mount for when I get the chance. Glad to hear yours is working good. Did you get decent accuracy once the scope was in place? Guntoter

    Mosin, K-31, K98k parts out the wazoo. Shipping included in prices and Layne is great to deal with and ships fast. http://www.tngunparts.com/Catalogue.htm If he doesn't have it keep checking back as stock gets updated regularly. Looks like a bayonet for your Mosin is $15.00. Guntoter

    Here is a great site for reloading info: http://www.reloadammo.com/reload.htm Scroll down to second half of page and you'll find a number of tutorials and Faqs that should help you along. Get several manuals. At LEAST two and preferably three or four. When choosing a load you need to match it to the exact brand, type, and weight of bullet. This is particularly true of rifle calibers. Bullets differ in design even among the same caliber and weight. Reloading is easy but it is a precise art with little room for error. Changing components even slightly can cause pressures to skyrocket so

    Well, out of curiosity (and a little concern) I emailed RAAC to see if I could get their take on it. Here's what I received back: HI KEVIN, THAK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN OUR PRODUCTS. THE 223 WILL SHOOT EITHER COMMERCIAL AMMO OR THE MILITARY STYLE AMMO. THAT IS THE ANSWER THAT I GET FROM THE FACTORY. THE TWIST RATE FOR THE 223 IS 1/10. CLYDE WOODS SALES & MARKETING RUSSIAN AMERICAN ARMORY COMPANY Now, I don't know if that could be considered the final word or not since it doesn't state SPECIFICALLY that 5.56 NATO is ok. It says "MILITARY STY

    Alright Bob! Another Savage convert . I think they surprise a lot of people. At least the ones that give them a chance. I have never shot a Savage that I would call less than "very accurate" and they seem to be almost universally "extremely accurate" regardless of caliber. Even the lightweight barrel rifles seem to be tack drivers. I don't think you can get more accuracy for three times the price. After checking out Savageshooters.com I think we are members of a rapidly growing fraternity of shooters who have "seen the light"! When I got mine I only shot one box of factory loads through i

    Thanks for responding guys. Dinzag, I just rechecked it for about the tenth time. If that number is anywhere on the receiver it's printed in invisible ink and I can't see it or I'm going blind. The last three digits of the serial are on the bolt, carrier, etc. but not even those are on the receiver itself. The only full serial on the weapon is located on the left side of the front trunnion where it extends above the receiver. Someone smeared white paint across it to bring the numbers into clear relief. I couldn't believe it either. That's why I went over it so many times before posting. I

    Just curious if everyones serial number is located on the front trunnion? When I got my new Saiga from Stanleys a couple of weeks ago I was surprised to see that it didn't have the "Read manual first" crap slathered across the side of the receiver. I've seen pics of ones that do have it and thought I'd find it on any new firearm. Since it drives me up the wall I was thrilled with its absence. The second shock was discovering there was no serial number whatsoever on the receiver itself. I know it's usually on the trunnion on the AK kits that come in but as probably everyone here knows under

    That guide looks pretty straightforward. The only thing I'd add is you really need sandbags to accomplish this. You have to have the rifle secure enough that it doesn't shift at all when you move your head from the sights to the scope. If you don't have sandbags you can make them out of old blue jean legs. Use the coarsest CLEAN playground sand you can find. A bag of it shouldn't be more than 3-5 bucks and will be enough for you and all your friends to make sandbags with. Do not use thin or dirty sand unless you want to get covered in it every time you pull the trigger. Some people use ri

    If you really, really want to find out what kind of accuracy your Saiga (or any other rifle) is capable of, it's been my experience you need a decent high power scope on a rock solid mount, plenty of sandbags so you can set up a comfortable rest, some clear easy to see targets, and of course the time and patience to get set up and do the job. It's possible to shoot for accuracy with open sights at 100 yards but for most of us, even those with good eyes, it's damn difficult. Every time you have a flyer you have to wonder if it was the gun or did you move slightly. Even a mediocre shooter ca

    Well, looks like Stanleys got some stock back in but as could be expected the prices went up. I guess the supply and demand thing went into effect. Glad I got mine at $240.00 shipped. At that it was a good buy.

    This issue has probably caused more confusion than just about any other gun related topic. Here's a good place to start for an explanation of the differences between .223 Rem/5.56mm : http://www.thegunzone.com/556v223.html There are a number of links in that article that will take you to more in depth explanations if you so desire. One of the reasons I prefer not to reload for gas operated weapons. Most people seem to either not know or not grasp the fact that regardless of where the designer chose to tap the barrel for gas bleed, it was engineered for a specific pressure at that poi

    Sorry for butchering your pic but it looks like you are referring to the area circled in yellow. That looks like a leaking area to me. Are the blocks just pressed on or are they silver soldered?

    Hi All, I have a Saiga .223 on the way and have been reading the FAQ's and Tutorials. I've found plenty of info on 30+ round mags but can't find any mention of 20 rounder availability. Aren't there any 20 round magazines made? 30+ rounders certainly have their place but I find 20 round mags better for field work. I have dozens of 30 round mags for my AR but for bench or bush I almost always use the 20's. I assume it will be the same with the Saiga so I'd like to get a few 20's for it if they are available. Anyone have a source? Thanks Guntoter
