OOPs, Sorry you are right.

Thanks. Is this a recent thing?

While I do not know where to get one you may want to look up the company name Penguin Cases. I hope that helps a bit.

Hey fellow Saiga fans, I need your help. I have recently had a few customers come by the store with their Saigas complaining about deformed chambers. I have also seen the fired cases from these rifles at the local range. Here is what I have seen; the fired case shows what almost looks like a double shoulder, about half way down the neck of the fired case the neck expands enough that you can not resize it. I have not had the opportunity to cast the chamber of one of these rifles yet and my Saiga does not do this to cases. In the past I have heavely marketed the Saiga but if this is becoming

About the idea of wearing out your Saiga barrels; if you can shoot enough to wear them out, good luck! I have shot many thousands of rounds of steel jacketed GI 7.9mm, .308 and 7.62mm (39 and 54mm) through my rifles and in no case have I seen any degridation in accuracy. For most of the world steel is the jacket material of choice. Most European sporting ammo (Norma, RWS as example) are steel jacketed soft points. The grade of steel they use is almost as solft as wraught iron and is way softer than the barrel of a modern high power rifle. I am not trying to play arm chair expert here, I ma

Most of our early weapons were of French or English design but the M1803 Harpers Ferry rifle was a distinct US design. All our percussion long arms were of French pattern as were the Trapdoor Springfields, additionaly their actions were of English design (Allen was an Englishman). The Krag was Scandinavian. Ya'll have already covered the modern stuff. As much as I dislike them both I recon the M14 and M16 are the most American service rifles we have had. As for sporting rifles I say it is any of the ever guns, my favourite is the Savage 99.

I gues what I would like to see is a book that would give newcomers assistance in how to carry safely, how to dress, where to carry, what to do in queried by shopowners or police ( this means you failed at concealment). ......... I know that all these things can be indavidually found in different sources but no one I have seen has put it all into one clearly written book. As examples, some of the things I have found over the years. 1. Strong side hip carry offers the best retention security and the fastest, safest presentation. 2. When shopping use your weak side arm to reach for tho

Does anyone publish a book of guidelines for folks new to the world of Concealed Carry? I do wish they would. When I was new I had to learn by trail and error. Now as a L E O is see folks making the same mistakes I did. Most are minor, some are entertaining and at worst, embarassing. Some however can cause a situation that can rapidly get out of hand depending upon the location and people in the area . I thought about writing a book on the subjest but have no idea of how to go about it so perhap one of you fine folks could take up the battle. I believe there could be a little money in it

We are a small gun shop in Va. Beach Va. we just have a few Saigas in stock. Yesterday we had a .223 and a few 308s. I looked for the 7.62 but we must have sold it the day before. The store name is the Armory (757) 424-1617 and the web site is; www.the-armory.com Right now some of these rifles are in short supply because the shop owners are hesitant to buy a lot of "post ban" guns fearing that if the AWB is left to die they might be stuck with an inventory that will be hard to move without taking a big loss .

Once the AWB expires if it is not perpetuated by Excetutive Order, why noy convert AK74 mags? They are plentiful (relativley) and cheap. As I understand it they need a new follower, there should be someone making those and a bit of fitting along the lips.

I hope I don't get in trouble for "advertizing". The store I work at has Saigas in stock, 7.62, .223 and .308. The 223 and 7.62 are $225.00 and the .308 is about $309.00. When I answered a similar querey on another site I was scolded for advertizing. If it is ok let me know and I will give the website and phone number. We are in Va. Bch. Va.

Alot of retailers (my employer included) are slowing down on purches of all but the constant top selling Clinton era rifles. They are waiting to see what happens with the law. My guess is GWB will sign an exec. order perpetuating the ban, but that only my jaded opinion as I can't remember any thing good ever coming from Washington in reguards to my liberty. Anyway, many dealers are worried that they may be stuck with a bunch of "post band, mucked up rifles" in a "no ban" market. One more opinion. I would take the 5.45mm over the .223, I think its a better cartridge for diasbling deer sized

Russian Orthodox Church celebrates Christmas about two weeks later than the date set by the Roman Church. IRT bolt stop. I have seen it on all the short Saias that have passed throughthe store I work at but not one have I seen on the long barrelled version. Also I have seen different contours in the trunion block just aft of the chamber. I don't know what it all means, if anything.

Tengu, if you can give me a fax number I will send you my illustration. I do not have photos of the rifle yet but the illustration shows what must be done to the forend iron.

I don't know yet. It will have to await my next trip to the range. Thanks.
