Just thinking out loud here, but could a bren magazine be made to work? 30 rounds of 30-06 in a curved magazine, I like that idea! http://www.ima-usa.com/product_info.php/products_id/64 Case Length: 2.222 in (56.44 mm) Overall Length: 3.04 in (77.2 mm)

Sheesh, am I the only one who has to drive in the winter?

Thanks for the clarification, It's been a while since I had to play the 922r game.

welcome to the club I don't belive so, that would be adding an "evil feature" Correct, those are russian. If you are doing the full conversion (moving the trigger and adding a pg) You can install a G2 trigger it's US made and counts as 3 parts. Order the single hook. You can also install anew gas piston, one from Arsenal USA, the install is pretty straightforward, and can be done with a vice, battery drill, hacksaw and a hammer. US mags are 3 parts, body, floorplate and follower.

Laminated simply means layers of wood. notice how the stock has "rings" instead of single grain pattern. Nice gun, but the wood needs a refinish. I'd clean it with a stripper, then hit it with 2 coats of minwax sedona red stain, then top with 3 coats of tung oil. should look dead sexy.

funny, the poll disappeared, i guess they don't like to lose

I also recall a BATFuck ruling saying putting a thumbhole stock on an imported saiga (no other modifications) was illegal, as they ruled the thumbhole was the same as a pistol grip.

To the best of my knowledge, putting that stock on an unconverted aiga still leaves you 3 parts shy of the 922R requirement. Thus, it's illegal (not that anyone actually goes out looking for 922 violators), and is something you should be aware of

Tapco G2 FCG, Arsenal USA Gas piston, Promag 30 round polymer mag, US nato length stock, Tapco PG, Bulgarian handguards, retainer and mag latch, Bushnell trophy red dot. Desperately needs a flash hider and folding stock to complete the AK-103 look. And this is my buddies, 50 round US mag, Arsenal USA Piston, Tapco galil grip.

So what happens when the guy in the room sees a gun pop around the corner? I can guarantee he wont stand still and be shot. He'll move, and now your gun is pointed at some weird angle. I'd rather use a flashbang thank you very much.

I ended up using a bnch grinder to get my PG nut to fit, looks like you guys got lucky.

When you say relocated trigger, do you mean you have converted the gun to the correct military configuration? OR do you mean the position of the trigger on the sporter rifle is relocated from the military configuration? Also, is that a pic you took of your FCG? or a stock image from someplace? The circled part looks like a profie view of the hammer. If the rifle is in sporter config, then A B and C are all correct, just remember, that the disconnector needs to have a spring in between it and the modified single hook trigger. If you have converted from sporter to military config, th

Ahh, get it to stop looking at me! I plan on using my MN 91/30 this year. maybe I'll actually see something this season.

Me thinks the cat passed out from the chemicals. And why do cats always rub against the muzzle of a gun when you have one out, do they all have a death wish or something.

Check and make sure that nothing is keeping the firing pin in the "fired" position, this will cause slam fires. It happened to me with a piece of that red sealant wolf uses, a big chunk lodged between the bolt and firing pin.

I belive it was you G O B who said: "Just use a bigger hammer. Like any other virgin, the first time it's tight!"

My EAA import is stamped made in russai by izhmash. And just for future reference, Izhevsk is the city, Izhmash is the aresnal in the city

I think the main reason is ammunition cost. not to mention, the .223 is "bigger" well, longer at any rate. and most people want a bigger gun.

The handguards are alot nice to drill than the gas tube. the bits bite into plastic much easier. though they are a pain to set up perfectly.

Aww Cmon, give yourself more credit than that, I thought the same thing, and look how mine turned out <-------------------------- And after that bit of reassurance, i'll offer the official "Saiga conversion competency checklist" 1. Have you ever changed a lightbulb? 2. Can you open a can of soup with a manual can opener? 3. Do you own a drill? 4. Do you own a dremel or hacksaw? 6. Can you operate a can of spray paint? 5. Do you have thumbs? If you answered yes to all the above questions, you have what it takes to convert a saiga. And if all else fails, youve got a fo

The Tapco G2 will work perfectly for your saiga conversion. The Saiga uses a single hook trigger, but can be modified to accomodate a double hook if need be.

I'd say that those are milsurp ak mags that have been modified to work in the saiga. most retailers don't care about wether or not their products are 922r compliant, they just want to make a buck.

Well, I'm not sure on the current comfiguration of your rifle, but the AK-100 series of rifles do have ported gas tubes. 4 ports on the left, and 4 on the right of the gas tube. I suppose in theory, that if your current gas tube is unvented you will have more recoil than you would with a vented tube.

yeah, ditch the binding posts and get a fcg retainign plate and some hole plugs. For the finish, i used ACE Flat Black Lacquer spray paint on mine, it's smoother than the factory finish but hey, who's gonna notice.
