Hey everyone while I was saving up the money for the 4-8X42mm I found a 8X-42mm with AK rail and I got it for a very reasonable price because the seller thought the illuminated teticle didn't work, so I took a chance and bought it and changed the batteries and left it in the on position for a few minutes and sure enough it worked fine. Unfortunately its the gray hammerite finish not the matte black but I am keeping my eye out for a scope in black. (Tantal told me the black scopes are made for the commercial market and rarer than the meduim gray colored ones.) so far I haven't had a chance t

I found a site that sell SVD "like" flash hiders for the AK. http://www.impactglobalarms.com/Sales/Sale...sales1169405292 I presume these are 14mm LH thread but I am not sure the diameter of a Saiga .308 barrel vs. A standard AK barrel. The M60 break might be the way to go. I know how to drill and tap and setting the front site back doesn't look like it would be that hard. Is there anyway you can post a pic the m60 flash hider on your rifle Buckandqaurter? Thanks Buck Shott

To anyone who is interested in this rifle get the added skelton stock I bought one from MAA and it the best acessorie I have added to any saiga rifle. It replaces the original stock easily and is very sturdy. If you don't plan on doing a pistol grip conversion this is the best stock for the saiga rifle. Buck Shott

Hey everyone I have been thinking about dressing up my newly restocked saiga .308 with some sort of flash hider/ supressor. I considered attaching an Actual SVD frontsite/muzzlebreak sight base but I can't find any for sale anymore and I heard unfortunately that dragunovparts.com went out of business I wondered if Izhmash made muzzle breaks for saigas that replaced the front site. Or if I will have to make or adapt one. I thought that an M60 muzzle break or a PKM muzzle break would look pretty close. Any ideas or other options? Im sure someone makes a muzzle break that is close to the S

Hey everyone Today I was looking at how SVD hand gaurds work and they are actually fairly similiar to FAL handgaurds. So I am trying to figrue out how to mount an old Penguin FAL forend on my saiga .308 I know I once saw a picture of a saiga withe t-48 handgaurds on it but Im not sure how they attached them.

Hey everyone I found a global trades RPK sight in some of my old AK parts so I decided to take off my original 300m marked Siaga sight. The new sight looks really good but im not sure if it will be in the way when I attach a scope to it. I hope the bell doesn't interfer with the rear sights but it shouldn't with an AK scope mount. The only trouble is the RPK scope mount is only 800m marked and when it is set at 100M is really sitting in the 300m battle field sight setting. I didn't know the 800M sight is actually shorter I just didn't think it went up at high as the 1000M version. Havent sh

Hey everyone I am thinking about purchasing a 4-8X42 POSP scope for my Saiga .308, it seems like it would be an excellent scope for this particular rifle. It has all the benefits of the regular fixed power POSP scopes and its like owning the 4x, 6x and 8x scope all in one. I was also considering the 1p21 scope but its looks very heavy and large and the universal mount looks complicated. However Kalinka and other sell a very similar scope to the 1p21 that is 2-9 variable that fits the weaver side mounts. Speaking of which I have two of these both are Belorussian and one is marked MTK-68 m

I don't own a Saiga .410 but I have owned a single shot .410 bore shotgun and harvested a lot of game with it. I cannot remember how many partridge, woodcock and rabbits I shot with it and I shot my first deer with it as well. Which was a 100 lb. Doe deer and the shot was taken from 50 yards away. The deer went down like a ton of bricks and never got up. My father in law has taken 3 deer with his .410 from 25-50 yards away or so and 75 yards seems to be the maximum range for decent accuracy. Though attaching a pistol scope on his shotgun increased accuracy potential significantly. The

MAA did a great job of explaining the item and staying in contact with me through the whole buying and shipping process. He made it very easy to do business with and I was extremely happy with the product. Buck Shott

I received the stock today from a member of these forums. It easily attached to my Saiga .308 and it is Awesome! It looks and feels Much better than I expected and is a huge improvement over the standard hollow stock. It reduces the overall length of the rifle and its very comfortable for my hand and it gives a good cheek weld, for iron sights or with the cheek rest for use with optics.. It also looks fairly similar to the SVD polymer stock. It is was well worth the investment and I hope to shoot it soon I will keep you updated on how I like it at the range. Eugene: The 6x42 looks r

That looks awesome!!!! I am really excited now... by the way what power is your scope?? I need optics for mine as well. I am also thinking of putting some sort of flash hider on it perhaps. My stock should be coming soon. Buck Shott

If the buyer of the M1A/M14 magazine fall thru I'll take it. Buck Shott

I handled one one at a gunshop the other day and it fit my hand perfectly!. That being said a few years ago I crushed my right hand in a industrial accident, So it may not fit a regular hand as well. One thing I was concerned about is having the safety lever so far away, but I think I'll get used to it. I decided to purchase on from a member of these forums so I will let you know how it works once I get it. Brother in Arms

Hey everyone I have been planning on doing a Saiga .308 pistol grip conversion since about 2005 or so....I never seem to get around to it. Then a while back I saw a thumb hole stock that looks similar to an SVD stock at an army surplus store that required no conversion. It was in clear plastic bag with all cyrillic markings. I went back to buy it then it was gone. Then recently I saw a Saiga 7.62X39mm with one of these stocks on it. I was wondering if anyone had one of these stocks and how you feel about it. I have a choate "dragunov" stock already with check rest. But I was thinking of

MAA are the thumb hole stocks you listed kind that look similar to the new typed used on the SVD? Buck Shott

The reciever, barrel trunion and magazine catch have all been modified for the new magazines to fit and the job that was done was very ugly. But functional. The mags are a bit loose in the rifle but they work. I also don't much like the way the forend is attached on the wood stocked rifles, but the rear stock has a good feel to it. I wonder how much I could sell it for... I wouldn't mind trading it for a nice scope for my other saiga. Brother in Arms

Hey everyone a few years ago I picked up a wood stocked 20" barreled Saiga .308 that was imported by a colorado company (before EAA imported them) When I bought it, it had a home hi-cap magazine conversion done to it. It was converted to use Thermold M14 magazines and I have since fitted it to use steel M14 magazines (though the thermolds still work fine) anyway its a fairly ugly conversion though it does function. I Have since picked up a like new saiga .308 20" barreled EAA in original configuration. What should I do with the Older rifle? It hasn't been converted to p-grip configu

Hey everyone I have a few saiga's and they all have different importer marks. Also the saiga's I have are older so I think they came in before the exclusive deal with EAA. I was wondering if anyone knew about one particular importer. one of my saiga .308's is marked R&K internationa, Westminster Colorado, the other is a an EAA. Also I have a saiga 12 marked Kalashnikov USA. But I know who they are. anybody got a saiga with an unusual import mark on it? Buckshot

That is why I thought it would be an interesting Idea to use a mag with a hold open follower and the BHO on the saiga. Anyone try this experiment? Thanks Buck

Hey everyone I have been wondering, if you used a AK magazine with a bolt hold open, in a Saiga that had the manual hold open, after the last shot could you hold up on the manual bolt hold open and remove the AK mag and not have the bolt slam foward? I am thinking that this combination might be a good way to fix the AK's lack of last round BHO. Thanks Buck

So there is supposed to be new importers again? Can anyone give me the skinny I have been out of the country for a while. Buck

Hey guys Sorry I haven't been here in a while. I finally got a Siaga .308!!! Its a synthetic, standard configuration ,20" barrel with BHO. Brand new condition made in 2004 EAA import and came with one 8round factory mag. I traded a SKS type M for it that I paid $200 for. I thought that was an awesome deal. Then more recently, I bought an older Saiga .308 used condition made in 2000, wood furniture 20" barrel no BHO but has had an M14 magazine conversion done to it!!! It was imported by a Company out of Colorado and it looks like the previous owner did the conversion. It came

Any 5 rounders left?? Buck
