  1. I was almost to dumbfounded to explain today. There was a man in the shop looking for a AK well the boss will not handle AK's so I said that I would be willing to part with one of my Saiga's if the price offered was right. He said no I was looking for the more powerful 7.62x39 not a under powered 308. Well I changed my mind I don't want to sell my under powered 7.62x51 to him. I did try to explain but not sure he understood.
  2. Stock 308 not to loud when compaired to my Hakim, just use good ear protection. 308 Saiga much more fun than SKS IMHO
  3. I would be interested in one for both of my rifles, x39 and 308. ditto Figure a price and I will send the money for two. get send me an email
  4. I bought a hand sand blaster from HF and it works good, but be sure to get a tight fitting eye protection, and a resparator. The resparator is so the sand doesn't get in your mouth, will grind off the enamel , or at least it felt like it was going to.
  5. Tried the hard cast bullets but never got them to cycle as I was hesatant to push the lead past the 2000fps mark. That said they work fine in my AK47 at 1700FPS with 150g gas checks.
  6. If I manufacture a wooden stock for my S 308 from a block of wood and a pistol grip does it count as compliant parts.
  7. Got mine Wednesday just likt that one haven't got out to the range yet due to the time of year, bow season starts Oct 2 and I work at a archery shop also is a gun shop. We have been covered up sitting up new bows and fixing old bows. If it shoots any where near as good as my 308's I will be more than happy. I got mine for $215 including shipping, but that is one of the perks of helping out the owner. I am retired and work when he needs me.
  8. If you look at RAA web site you will find one of there major dealers is Elliot Bro. the real problem is that Elliot only deals with there dealers, but if your FFL is in with them there is a lot of guns that you can order. if I had not have wanted a 223 to play with I was tempted to order the 30-06 even though it was $150 more talk about rock-n-roll even with the two three rd mags. That will have to come another day, also considering a S-12 shoot might as well get a 20 and a 7.62x39 also then I will have 7.62x39,223,303,30-06,s-12 and 20 what a deal.
  9. That is why I was asking no more than I am going to shoot it when compaired to my rifles I can use 3" but I was asking for say quail hunting ect and I use the Winchester stuff from Acadamy. Thank you for the information, now I can get the money together and get one.
  10. in your s-12 ? I am saving to order a Saiga 12g and was wondering if I can use the cheap ammo in it?
  11. from Elliot Bro today good price $210 + shipping, of course you need to have a good friend who is a FFL and doesn't charge you a fee. I have two 308 Saiga's hope the 223 is as accurate as the 308's. Can hardley wait until next week to get it.
  12. Kind of nice since I am a lefty. Thanks Bruce I have a Russian scope that is the same as far as the knobs configuration works fine and it is a good scope and 8x is right.
  13. As new I do not think it has been shot has one only mag $245 shipped You can reach me at fglennb@netscape.com
  14. I have two Saiga's in 308 one 16" on it I have the regular POSP scope and the regular sports stock, it seems a little off for some reason, but the 22" I have a lower mount with a 8x56 VOMZ scope on it but it has a ATI stock with a cheek piece and it seems a lot more comfortable. I am going to convert the other but need to build up funds first as I want Battlerifle's custom wood stock on it to make it very cool. I think that the Saiga is the best thing I have bought in a long time am planing a 223 as I need a AK in that cal. I have three AK's in 7.62x39 so I do not see a Saiga there. The shop
  15. The trigger will improve with a USA made FCG when you convert it, I still get surprised with mine goes off before I expect it. Great for accuracy as that is the way we teach a new archer using a release you are supose to be suprised.
  16. The shooter is the final factor, you say you have a Stevens 200 I have been seriousllly looking to get one as I can get it at wholesale and I read the reviews they were all verygood. I want a p'dog gun what caliber would you recomend? 223.22-250 or 8-06 for the little darlings? I was having a great day yesterday at the range, went with the idea of not rushing anything, took twosandwiches some cokes and coffee I was shooting exceptionally well because I didn't rush.
  17. Like the name Saiganov wondered what to call mine, looks just like yours. I love mine.
  18. The man next to me had a custom rifle he was zeroing in, I was zeroing my Saiga conversion 22" with a Russian 8x56 scope. He finally got it zeroed after about 20 rds at 100 yds I got the 308 in 2 rds he was happy with his 2-3" groups I also was happy with my 1.5" groups. He said " cant shoot to fast the barrel heats up" I just shook my head and fired another 10 rds same group. He kept saying how important a cool barrel was for his tight groups. He was using handloads with balistic tip ammo some 30 cal Akeley improved, I was shooting 7.62x51 nato surplus. The 308/7.62x51 Saiga is a bargin his
  19. What they said and with the money you save you can buy several cases of ammo to have fun with.
  20. Well the scope didn't work as planned, so I traded it for a VOMZ Russian scope in a fixed 8x56 this looks better and shoots great. The rest is not good for my Saiga as the trigger is in the wrong place with the Drag ATI stock.
  21. Kinda a red mist lingering in the air, red grass and a funny smell.
  22. 8x32x50 it is a cheap BSA but I am going to shoot P-dogs with it for fun and I had it and nothing to put it on so_________ I just put it on and the wind has been blowing non stop at 40-60 mph for three days haven't had a chance to try. I wish with the wind we would get some rain but no just 100+ degrees.
  23. go to Google and type in Saiga conversion you will get it.
