  1. Well I'm resurrecting my own dead thread. Can't believe I never replied to it. I bought the 16" version for 289usd (found the original price tag a few weeks ago). My friend at that time got the longer barreled version, probably the same price. I haven't asked him about it since I frankly forgot he bought one too until I reread this thread. We've both seen a couple of job changes in the interum. I did a conversion using a tapco g2 trigger and a tapco saw pistol grip. Originally I had put a tapco folder on it but pretty quickly replaced that with a traditional poly nato length stock, (
  2. The bullet guide mod isn't expensive and it's simple...unless you can't seem to find your drill and the tap slips around in the tap holder. I'll have to take this out and shoot it (finally did my mod today).
  3. I dunno about that. The barrel on my wasr10 isn't as nice as the saiga. It heats up quicker and seems a bit cheaper. Still a functional rifle, however.
  4. I have to agree with an earlier poster. They are very very different rifles. I have an early PTR-91. It's pretty and I dressed it up with a bushnell fixed 10x40 scope and olive furniture with a handguard with heat shield that will take a bipod. The rifle feels like quality, fires like quality, very accurate, but a pain to clean. I bought a 16" saiga and did the pistol grip conversion. I left on the original fore stock, I like it's feel better than some other after market fore stock. This rifle is functional and fires well. It's a fun rifle and abusing it doesn't bother me. I
  5. Ugh. that requires sophisticated cutting tools which I don't have. Thanks for reminding me, I'm going over to a buddy's place tomorrow, I'm almost definite he's got something to slice that pipe up lickedy split!
  6. I have 2 witnesses, a full size 10mm and a compact 10mm, both in wonder finish. The full size is much nicer than the compact, the finish is more even and the frame and slide are a nice tight smooth fit. The compact is a lot rougher, there's play between the slide and frame. And I forgot to mention, the full size is the most accurate pistol I own. I've had the full size for a year, it's utterly reliable. Everyone who fires it really likes the ergonomics and especially the trigger. I haven't enough experience yet with the compact to give an opinion, it's clearly inferior to the full s
  7. Ugh I would buy a steyr except I'm going over my money allotment. Additionally I have pretty large hands and the steyr just isn't quite meaty enough for me. I just bought a lightly 10mm compact for a CCW. If they steyr came in 10mm though...I just have something for that cartridge.
  8. So you dremmelled out your new bullet guide also? I'm probably going to go over to borrow some major power tools from a buddy to finish off the bullet guide part of my conversion. I'm sure he'll freak when he sees the new rifle.
  9. Those parts would look ver nice on a saiga-12 or something. Not sure the forearm would go.
  10. I've been using DuraLube instead of Mobile 1. I'm not sure if the teflon in the duralube is bad or not, though.
  11. So that's with the tapco ring to hold the front handguard? I do like that galil one. And I'm jealous of the OD furniture...
  12. Heh, your best bet is probably to put the trigger assembly together and into the receiver and see how it works. You can take it apart and put it back to gether as many times as you like. You can pretty much only cut it once. One nice thing about an AK is that it's pretty stinkin' difficult to mess it up.
  13. Be thankful you're moving around the trigger parts and such on an AK and not doing this stuff to an AR15. Hehe
  14. Yup that would be an easy one. I'd take from 2-4 of them.
  15. Drill out the hole in the disconnector with larger bits until the spring fits. Works like a charm.
  16. This looks prettyneat. And the idea of adding a weaver rail to this system by adding another 1" scope ring sounds really good too!
  17. I put one of those stocks on my Mossberg 500 and I just hate it. Talk about total transferrence of recoil. And not comfortable. But it does look cool . Hopefully you have another one that's more functional!
  18. Hate to try to rain on your parade, but I asked this on another poster who didn't move his FCG. Do you have the right number of compliance parts? I mean did you replace the hammer and disconnector with US parts? Actually I guess you changed out 2 parts on the mag. That does do it How do you like the balance on this one?
  19. This sounds VERY interesting. Please start a new thread on this if you find out anything more about this. I don't mind dremelling on a cheapo scope ring, but I don't like hacking directly on the firearm unless I have to.
  20. The saiga is too good. Someone's going to pick it up I'm sure. That is unless the Russians have decided they don't want to sell to the US anymore...
  21. I went out last week and fired my new saiga 12. I had a veyr hard time jamming in a full 5 round mag with a closed bolt. So I held open the bold, stuck the 5rd mag in and let the bolt go. There are other postings about this subject I haven't read them yet either.
  22. I'm not sure about your AK's but mine all blow their cases about 15 feet directly to the left, maybe even slightly forward. I always have to be careful at the "informal ranges". I keep on forgetting and end up peppering folks with hot brass. My AR-180b on the other hand throws the brass straight back, usually right into my trunk.
  23. You may not be expecting a cadillac, but that's what you'll be getting. Well think of it more as a 1 ton 4x4 truck. If you want you can put a lift kit on it.
