Looks sweet and yes they do want to push you around a bit. The limb saver and the buffer do help. However I still working on getting a brake on mine. Shot is some more today. Lots of fun.

Looking for handguard for 308. What yours off of? Thanks

Where did you get the hand guard items from? And what is the story on the bayonet? Not that I'm looking to install one it just looks cool. My first thought is that real? Good looker for sure.

How soon is soon on the top rail, and how much? Keep us posted for sure. Me thinks that might just have to go on mine.

OEM or us made? Never mind didn't see the FACTORY part of the posting.

The picture with the writing is self explanatory. Second picture with the dent near the shoulder were apparently caused by the charging handle. After I place the tygon tubing on the handle those dent were very minimal. The third picture with the small ding near the middle of the case are referred to as the AK kiss I believe. Caused by the case hitting the dust cover as the case is ejected. I solved that with the buffer fabricated from some inter tube and a piece of spring steel to hold it in place. Hope this helps.

Here is my solution to the problem and it has worked so far. More Pic at the Gallery under MY 308.

Would be priced around the same as the s12 model?

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe it my not work for one reason being that the 308 uses 3 lugs rather than 2 to lock up.

Yes it will. The only thing I had to modify was the safety. Mine was to short and I add metal with the welder and reshaped it to fit and do the job. You can see the before and after pictures in the gallery under My 308. Good luck it wasn't really that hard just something I wasn't expecting to have to do. I was also under the impression that the side clearance in the trigger hole was excessive. Most commonly remedied by using a spring to hold it to one side or by using washer(s) to take up the slack. There is some slop but so far I haven't found it to be an issue. I also haven't shot

Now that is something I didn't know before I did my mod. I also used the #2 kit from CSS.

Might Aldo add that that it is likely that you will have to build up the safety to get it to function correctly. Check the picture gallery under ( MY 308). I have a couple of pic there showing the before and after of the safety. Good luck and have fun. Now for short commercial. Got all my mod items from CSS. Greg is du man. End of commercial.

Really not sure you need one for the 308. Unless you are doing something out of the ordinary to convert it. I might be wrong. Mine works fine after my conversion. Others will probably chime in that are more knowledgeable than me.

Excuse me for being noisy but what did you do to it that makes it dysfunctional? Just curious? Might be nice to know in case.

The Saiga 308 has the hump on one side. The other calibers don't have it. The Vepr has it on both sides, in all calibers. Thanks for the confirmation.

Did you pull the gas block to do this? How did you determine the sizes in the gas block and the barrel. I would like to obtain the same information on mine but really don't want to pull the gas block if I don't need too. Thanks the 4mm gas block hole size was measured using a small allen wrench with a short piece of silicon tubing at the tip of the short end. diameter of the silicon tubing (when on the allen) measured about 4mm,it was a snug fit into the gas block hole. for barrel gas hole size, I used two allen wrenches, and stick the short ends into the hole in the gas block. T

SOPMOD have a question for you and please don't think me a complete dunce. Question, did you have to remove the gas block to clean it out or can you actually get to it well enough without a dis-assembly to clean it (the port that is). I have a 16 inch 308 is there a way to measure the port in the barrel with a dis-assembly? If so I would be willing to let you know what mine measures. Thanks

To start with I used some 600 grit wet and dry paper to get a start on it. Then finished up with the dremel tool. With the dremel I purchased a few years ago I got some white felt buffing wheels. I purchased three different rouges at harbor freight. The white rouge is the one you use on steel. I then buffed all the mating surfaces with the buffer and rouge. Will I was at it I dressed up all the mating surfaces of the trigger group. It all now is very smooth. The buffing helped the trigger pull quite a bit. Much smoother pull now. Before it was like it had sandpaper in it. As far as material re

Mine was rough after the conversion also. Polished all mating parts to mirror finish with dremel,felt buffer and white buffing rouge(found at harbor freight}. Some gun grease and she is slick as can be. Something else you may or may not have noticed. When I install the bolt assembly I push the hammer down and hold the trigger back to keep the dis-connector engaged. Makes it easier to install the bolt.

But wouldn't a suppressor actually add more back pressure to the ejection cycle. BTW could you describe what you had to go through to get a set screw installed to help control the pressure. Was the gas block remove or what?

That's very interesting. Triing to wrap my head around what u are saying. Which has the larger port size and what are the port sizes recommended per length!

LAZINES, PROCASTINATION, biggest one was a shear lack of funds. That seems stand in the way of a lot of things going on in my head.

Not sure. What prompts the question?
