  1. All the Yugo AKs are supposed to have them. By the time the parts kits got to us, most of the tritium in them have gone bye-bye. . . . Nope http://www.akfiles.com/forums/showthread.php?t=34863 I myself have had a few with painted sights. These are generally early versions. I've since sold off the rifles or kits with painted sights and kept the tritium versions. In many cases, yes the tritium is spent.
  2. I wouldn't call you a nazi. They have discipline.
  3. Zastava. Known to most as the Yugo's. Now what's the definition of best? Receiver stamped. If we're talking quality, then milled is better but from a war standpoint, best is production! Receiver is 1.5mm as opposed to the others at 1mm. No problem the M70's are made both stamped and milled. Bores not chrome lined, little higher on the accuracy level but at the cost of corrosion. Some of them have built in night sights. All have the flip up gas shut off for launching grenades. The man himself said the Yugo's are the best around. That counts for something... My collecti
  4. I have a dumb question... If this is their paid for forum by a business, why can anyone post in it?
  5. What if you added rail that clamps on the existing rail to elevate the sight a bit? It will sit a little higher, but should move the sight out of the way enough. I guess that's the down side of bolting US sights on AK type weapons.
  6. I'll give you a best offer of $60 shipped, payment of your choice.
  7. Not the best photoshop but I'm not getting paid either... BTW, we may lose the sling mount. I asked about that in my email but didn't get a reply on it.
  8. not lonely, I've been watching..hoping... Well, I dropped the idea of the Russian one the minute I saw this.....
  9. Well they came through and my picture was replaced with the prototype!! WOO HOO SIGN ME UP!
  10. Yeah that CAD drawing doesn't make it look too awesome. I think it's going to look pretty good in person. No idea on preorder amount or cut off date. He did say he had a lot of preorders so far which is good considering I haven't seen too much talk about it, but I'm hoping the power of the saiga 12 forum can generate more interest and get the project flowing. Will: Yes that's for the s12, but there is also a rifle version that will be made pending the interest.
  11. I was going to put a roof mount in my car to keep one overhead but a good post I read kept me from doing it. The breakdown of it was: A guy has a rifle in the window of his truck. A car behind him slows down as the guy parks in his driveway. The car sits there a second and drives away. A week or so later someone broke into his house and a bunch of guns were stolen. I'm just as well off taping $100 bills to my rear window.
  12. Gilbert's is taking pre orders on the Saiga forearm. This is made by "SGM" (Surefire gun mags, not to be confused with surefire) if they receive enough interest (preorders), they will go into production. They should be receiving a sample within the next couple days, and will be shooting pictures of it. They have them listed for both 12GA and rifle. I received an email today from them as I had a few questions. "We have toyed around with the type of finish, and the glass content of the unit to produce an outstanding finished product. We are all very excited about this produc
  13. I think this thread died a lonley, miserable, death.
  14. I'm sure you could modify a VZ58 stock to fit if you had to have bakelite.
  15. You wouldn't need the latch, or spring. You just need a guard and selector stop. There are a couple pics on the site that show what it looks like. I know I posted one in the "lets see your s12" thread.
  16. My reply is a bit late but what I do on certain builds is spray the Rustoleum textured, bake it and when it's cold I'll rub the finish with a cotton rag and oil. The finish will absorb a lot of oil. I never bake in the house, as I have a toaster oven in the shop just for this reason. It works well and holds better than a lot of foreign mil finishes. I use the textured stuff because it's the closest thing I have found to original bulgarian paint. There are a few gun paints out there and some work good, some suck. Usually I will mask off the barrel and paint just the receiver, trunnion, an
  17. I love it..........late to the game, has all the answers without researching the thread history, knows how Mike D wants it to be.......... ...............and we're the dickheads. Seriously, you should quit while you're still ahead................... You're right, I'll quit while I'm ahead.
  18. The difference between me and a lot of people is I offer a possible suggestion in my post, like maybe just a locked updated sticky not just a dickhead reply. My post was a reply to what was said, just like yours... Seriously... I just suggest a locked sticky at the top that is an easy solution so people don't have to sift through a pile of crap, let alone keep Mike from sifting through the same crap emails and it's "blah blah blah" to you. I think Mike my appreciate it a little at least.
  19. That's not the problem at all. For most of us here, it is a problem of people making either their very first post, or first post in a long time, a flame on MD Arms business practices or a complaint about the drum WITHOUT bothering to read the vast amount of information that has been posted in these forums on the subject first! Damn that was a long sentence....... Everything has been explained in excruciating detail. All a person has to do is READ and virtually all of their questions will be answered. The problem is right in your reply. There IS a vast amount of informat
  20. If he had called INS right when he picked them up so they were waiting would have been the icing on the cake.
  21. There are other rails that will do what you're looking for. These are the real original Russian forends, and a light is often mounted on this lower rail. It doesn't have to be on the side.
  22. I understand your concern. Seems here people jump down most anyones throat who questions something. I must have misread somewhere. I thought I'd be billed the second half when they were pretty much ready to ship. You have to look at this business practice a little different, as you're part customer, part small profit investor. This "If you don't like it get the fuck out" attitude is lame.
  23. You know if you don't like the promptness of their service that's fine, but you are just as much saying screw your customers as you are the halo guys with remarks like "change your order", "cancel your order", and provide your own.... What exactly is a "reasonable time frame" when people are waiting over a year for your own builds?
  24. I've had a couple unissued german pouches that looked pretty long. Possibly for 40rnd mags? Anyway they are a little tight, but look like with some alteration, they would fit 12rd s12 mags. I'll need to add about 2" to the top flap for it to catch. I may cut one up for the material. Also I like German stuff, but I'm not really crazy about rain pattern camo. Will Rit dye fix it? I found the mags fit better the other way in because of the flared end.
