Job_of_Uz 0 Posted June 27, 2004 Report Share Posted June 27, 2004 Hey yall, I am having much difficulty getting this front sight off of my Saiga 308 wood. Are there any knowledgable front sight removal specialists that can pass along the trade of how to preform this elusive skill? I can see two pins on top of the front sight housing, but I am not too sure how they come out. Our friendly neighborhood EAA technician chose not to be informative on the matter... Detailed stuff and pictures are welcome... This is the gun I have Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RRW 0 Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 Job I had the same problem with my 762x39, but i am not shure about your 308, but on my 762x39 you have to tap out the pins, and use a 12 ton press to remove the fsb. Tengu helped me with that info, Just try to tap out the pins, and remove the fsb yourself. If that doesnt work take it to your local gun smith and have him remove it for you. Ihope that helps. Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bvamp 604 Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 hey job, think you might be persuaded to remove your wood and photograph the mounting points for me? i want to put a set of either those or VEPR stocks on my saiga 12....want to be sure before i order the wood if its going to be reasonale to fit them to the other gun Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Job_of_Uz 0 Posted July 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2004 Dude, You need to get in contact with EAA Corp and order their catalog. You can get my exact gun in synthetic already. 20 inch barrel and all. I have the catalog here now. it will save you alot of work. Ironically, the 20 inch synthetic isnt on the website. go figure.

Job_of_Uz 0 Posted July 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2004 okay, I got the pins out... I am working on getting a good supressor on it, you'd be suprised how well TTI subsonic ammo shoots from a Saiga 20 inch barrel! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
