LKB3rd

I figured out what that "mystery paddle" in the cleaning kit was after reading your post last night Thanks again. I've got it raised up to where the aim point was from memory, and with some tweaking at my next range trip, I should be good to go.

I didn't know the front sight was adjustable. Thanks, I'll take a look at it.

Today I took my s308 to the range for the second time. It is still 100% stock, no scope. I was shooting Lithuanian surplus 150 grain fmj. I have gotten the point of aim pretty well sorted out, and I find that it shoots high at 100 yards. If I put the front sight dead on the target, it ends up around a foot high. The point of impact is actually closer to centered between the two prongs than a "dot the I" aim point. Is this normal? I have the sight set all the way back on the 100 meter notch. Is there any way to get more of a dead on aim point?

Can these be kept loaded without developing a bulge?

I read someone on here saying they used a vepr fcg on their s308 and it dropped right in. Why not email or call red star arms and ask them? www.redstararms.com . I am considering an rsa fcg too.

I am also trying to decide on a fcg for my s-308. The safety issue to me is really important and I would prefer not to have to worry about it(aka I want no issues with possible nd's involving safety on trigger pulls). I noticed on Dinzag's site that he modifies the Tapco fcg. Do his mods eliminate this problem?

I got 1000 rounds of the Lithuanian from ammoman and I haven't shot any of it yet, but they were very easy to deal with, quick shipping. It came in the wooden crate in 5 200 round battle packs.

Thanks. I was sort of bummed to learn my new reloading equipment might not be useful with saiga/ak fired rounds.

(edit)woops nevermind, my question was answered earlier in this thread

Hey guys, thanks for the information. I stumbled onto a page that gives some information on this topic since i posted this. http://gunsafe.org/ak-47.htm . They(CT DPS) originally said as long as it didn't say "AK-47" on it it was ok. After eight years and thousands sold, they changed their interpretation to say it can't have the operating system of an AK, use 7.62x39, and have interchangeable parts with an AK. So, .223 and .308 are not banned seems to be the key.

I live in CT where there is an assault weapons ban. "AK type" rifles are banned, but for some reason Saiga's are legal in .223 or .308. So, my question is this: Will converting my Saiga .308 magically turn it into an "AK type" rifle in CT? Has anyone in CT gotten an answer to this from a knowledgeable source? I am thinking I can convert it as long as I don't add more than one of the following according to the AWB: (i) A folding or telescoping stock; (ii) A pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon; (iii) A bayonet mount; (iv) A flash suppressor or

I live in CT and we do have a state AWB, but semi-auto rifles are legal. Ar15's are legal as long as they aren't Colt(way to be dumb while hurting state businesses lawmakers!). DSA FAL's are legal(FN Fal's are specifically listed as banned, the same as Colt AR15's are). Saiga's are legal as long as they are .223 or .308. "AK types" are banned, but apprently an AK type has 7.62x39 according to them. M1A's are legal. No rifle can have more than one of the following features: (i) A folding or telescoping stock; (ii) A pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the w

The same video series is on youtube. Intro is here : The others can be found using the smaller window to the right of the video screen.

I think it was in the speer manual where they recomend not pushing lightweight .223's above 3000 fps in fast twist barrels because they spin themselves into oblivion. It was only in the lightest .223's and I believe they were saying in regard to 1:7 barrels that they were cautioning against it, but I guess we have an instance reported here showing it is not just .223.

Hi all. I just got a 16.3" Saiga .308 a few days ago, and I have been reading many threads and learning a lot. I think I have answered this question for myself, but I thought that this new forum would be a good place to post this question for others to have an easy way to find the answer that it took me a few days to figure out (ok, maybe I am slow ). I also want to double check that I understand it correctly. It is my understanding that the 922r conversion allows you to modify a Saiga with a pistol grip and hi cap mags. Is this the sole reason? Can I do other modifications, like furnit
