I been looking at those but heard that it has side to side play (wiggle). I am curious if that is with AKM RSB or Saiga RSB. So far I have only had luck with the short Mojos. If anyone has the krebbs could you check to see if it does have any side to side play

Welcome to the saiga12 forum. <Non Buisness member LINKS Removed> The only non-parallax red dot is the aim point . With any other red dot, if you shift slightly left or right the dot is no longer at the same spot. Wearing glsses will only make parallax worse and so you want it parallax free to begin with. The aim points have unlimited eye relief also. Quote from the aimpoint site FAQ: It’s that easy! When the dot is on target, so are you. Since all Aimpoint sights are parallax free, you never have to worry about centering the red dot inside the sight. <Non

Does the Romanian wood stock actually contact and press against the internal rear trunnion or the rear receiver lip?

He asked about keeping the rust away, not lubricating....is there a problem with using WD-40 to keep the rust away long term? WD 40 dries into a nice hard material over time. Many moons ago I soaked a mossberg 500 that functioned perfectly with WD40 and left it a year without touching it. When I finally pulled it out of storage, the carrier did not slide back and forth smoothly and felt like someone sprayed glue on the internals. It completely locked up on me. Instant paperweight. It took a few cans of brake parts cleaner to get that shit dissoved and flushed. A cheaper and

The vmax tip is designed to press backward upon impact forcing the round to deform much faster than a soft point. The tip pushing back upon impact will make it safer for home defense because it will also deform sooner going through wall board, wood panels, or wall studs than a typical hollow point design. If you look at the video link I posted, the soft point at the end reacts much less than either a vmax or the 8m3 bullet both in shots 2(8m3) and 3(vmax). I have used the Hornady 110 grain .308 Tap on a deer hunt a while back and picked my shot carefully. One shot in the lower neck

Someone else donated a few photos for this illustration. Thank you Toshbar. Here is an illustrustration of how different the two case heads are in relation to the 5.45 bolt. I no longer think trying to modify a 5.45 bolt to work with 7.62x39 is even worth a try. Its a good thing these Russian bolts never seem to break but I still want genuine spares anyway. The gray cartridge is obviously 7.62x39 and the greenish one is 5.45x39.

The hornady Vmax bullet was designed for optimum performance in people size animals. Its going to transfer its energy inside of someone efficiently and not waste any energy by exiting like many other bullets would. The only other ammo I would feel safe in using for no exit CQB is the military classic 8m3 loads. shot two is with MC shot three is with Vmax

If you set up a group buy, it might get their attention. A simple thread with who is interested in ______ and how many would you buy____. If a few hundred memebers respond and all actively email Kvar with the group buy numbers thatmight just get some wheels turning to get these parts here finally. Clyde Woods (RAA Saiga Importer) emailed me a while back and said he has tried to get parts and no luck. Maybe Izmash-Legion the proshop that Arsenal works with might be able to where RAA has not been. Its worth a try.

Thanks man. I am glad to help when ever I can.

Thats about it springs, firing pins, and if you feel brave 5.45 extractors that will require modding to work properly with 7.62x39. Maybe you can mention to the sales rep that there is several people interested in buying spare Izmash saiga 7.62x39 bolt parts. They need to get on the ball and get those parts on US soil pronto.

I think you can narrow it down to all things AK74 for nearly every thing except the bolt body, extractors, and magazines. The extractor info is already pretty clear.

Recoil and disconnector springs are the most common broken parts ever mentioned on most any AK type rifle. Red Jacket Firearms on theakforum made mention of a rental AK in his shop that had, recalling this correctly, about 50,000 rounds through it before hairline cracks started appearing around the rear trunnion/receiver junction. What might be causing that? The carrier hammering backward against the rear trunnion. I asked if it ever had a recoil spring replaced and his answer was no. When springs finally wear out they don't resist like they should and something's going to have to stop that

It looks stepped to me. Here is something to compare.

The 7.62x39 or 5.45 saigas use the same style Ak74 extractor, but the blade itself is recontoured for the 7.62x39 extractor. As I said before, the 5.45 kvar extractor will work perfect with 5.45, but needs a slight blade recontour for the blade to properly slip into the 7.62x39 case recess. A dremel and a few minutes will reshape the difference. The .308 and .223 firing pins I think are spring loaded and that requires a bit of work to modify a 5.45 firing pin. Not sure about the .308 and .223 extractors other than its not going to be easy to mod a 5.45 surplus extractor. The difference betwe

This is getting silly. A 0.003 inch difference on the pin face is not enough to cause a problem. I really do not think Izmash has a separate firing pin forging machine for 7.62x39 versus 5.45. This difference might have more to do with the fact its an East German surplus pin versus a Russian. I still have a surplus 5.45 firing pin in my saiga and it has fired off several boxes of Russian and a few boxes of American made ammo. No ruptures and no misfires. Here is a few pictures of the difference.

Here is a simple way to prevent a wandering drill bit. Crazy glue a nut to the trunnion. The it keeps the bit from wandering. A little break parts cleaner will unglue the nut after your done. It works perfect.

The AK 74 piston (shorter) is the right one and the hammer, recoil, disconnector, extractor, mag latch, and rear sight block springs are universal. The AK 74 carrier would also be the only carrier available that could possibly fit all rifle caliber saigas. The caliber specific parts like the bolts, firing pins(.223 and .308), and extractors is going to take a devine miracle to make them appear. The saigas are an AK103 base gun which is nothing more than a fancy AK74. The AK74 parts or the universal spring parts are the only ones that will work. The AK47 parts like the bolt, firing pin,

http://www.mojosights.com/ I am returning the micro click version and getting the shorter standard version without the click wheel. The shorter version worked fine on two other rifles.

Yes, if it actually works. If the headspace is too loose, it could cause really bad things to happen like dangerous bad. To headspace a loose chamber, the barrel would have to be pushed back toward the rear of the gun allowing a final head space within 0.003 inches but preferably closer to 0 provided the bolt can even close at that lesser margin. I can't imagine a smith doing this very cheap because the barrel and trunnion would have to be placed into a press and even before that removed from the receiver by drilling out the rivots. I'm not sure what one might charge to do that but if it

Thanks for the reply, so there are no chinese parts kits available, and a euro bolt won't work? Dang, I hope nothing breaks Have you ever tried to fit a non chinese bolt to one? I just took my MAK-90 down and swapped the bolt assembly out with a Century Arms built Yugo M70, it seemed to fit fine; I didn't fire it, but it seemed to fit pretty much the same as the original. The M70 was purchased new from a dealer about a year ago. Did you rack a cartridge into the chamber with the M70 bolt locking it into place? Did the headspace read within .003 of what the spec require

Saigas, (Legion Saigas, that is), are my favorite, but there's nothing wrong with Bulgarian, Polish, Yugo, and even the roughly-finished-but-tough-as-hell Romanian rifles. Chinese rifles are the only ones that seem to be subject to these catastrophic bolt failures. ymmv. The arsenal SLR are Bulgarian imports with a Bulgarian receiver but the Yugo and Polish to my knowledge only make it here as parts kits which are assembled onto a US made receiver and generally are built decently by some builders but with Century International Arms monkeying around you never know if you might get

What I want to know is where have the thousands of spare chinese AK bolts and bolt parts gone that polytech parts had on stock since the 1990s in Atlanta GA. They state on their website that their overall parts supply is nearly gone and no more can be imported from China. They also state that the chinese parts do not easily interchange with euro parts so either there has been thousands of AK builds made with chinese parts internals on american receivers or people have been repairing plenty of rifles. I do not recall ever seeing chinese parts built onto a commercially sold varient edit to a

Some people have reported super long service life on the chinese parts like in excess of 100,000 rounds and others have had parts break fairly early. Its like the parts manufacturing consistency might depend on which chinese arsenal of several actually made them and were they using better materials at the time. Consistency is not a well established theme in the chinese gun parts industry. One example of this is with military serial numbered bolts versus non-serial numbered bolts considered to be for commercial use. The serial numbered bolts are suppose to be more likely made to the better spec
