  1. CZ...........Not a troll, just a new owner. :rolleyes: Like I said, I haven't even shot it yet.

    (but you can troll my nuts for lint) :smoke:

     

     

    The russian gunsmithing recommended by Tony is what I wanted to hear. I did in fact give it a little rap on the beater already, although it was halfhearted as I wasn't totally commited to that course of action.

     

    But now, LTFO 'cause here it comes. I will report back with the good, bad, or ugly when I'm done and we can all have a laugh at my expense. :killer:

     

    Thanks

  2. Not the replies I wanted to hear.

     

    The guy I got it from is good people, and he bought it locally.

    I will see if maybe he can return it. Otherwise It will go bye bye. I am afraid that the actuak gas port will be

    too far off after I straighten the block. This really sucks.

     

     

    I don't want to badmouth these rifles, but anything that looks like this and passed QC is, well....a POS.

    Like it or not.

  3. I got a NIB Saiga 16 in trade from a guy not long ago, but haven't shot it as I am waiting for the scope to arrive. Anyway, I was looking at it tonight, and cycling the action when I noticed that the freaking gasport is canted approx 5 degrees to the left!!! WTF?! I wondered why the bolt carrier was a pain to re-install. The paint is being worn off of the carrier on the left side where it's mis-a-freaking-ligned, so there's no doubt about it. I'm sure, other than crap accuracy, it would work just fine after a few hundred rounds wore a groove in the BC. But no way I want that!

     

    Can I just hammer that POS in line with the trunion or do I have to unpin it? :cryss: This really sucks hard.

     

     

    I guess that crap letter saying the rifle had passed QA/QC inspection was a commie lie!!!

     

    Is IZHMASH russian for POS or what?

     

     

    I have searched, but come up empty. Somebody tell me I'm not the only one, and that there's an easy fix. :unsure:

  4. I may own both. Fortunately for me, my cetme (if I have one) was built by an individual who knew his way around steel. If you buy a cetme do it in person. Check the bolt, bolt gap (you'll need feeler gauges), fsb cant, and general fit and finish.

     

    The front sight on a cetme IS adjustable for both windage and elevation, just like the saiga. The rear sight is graduated, again just like the saiga. You just need a special tool and a few rounds.

     

     

    YMMV But just for good measure..........get both, sell one, keep one.
