chrisAlaska 0 Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 Finished up today. The conversion was a lot more enjoyable than I was expecting. I bought a 308 and a 12, but I'm thinking I definitely need a 223, so I can do some more conversion work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jhansjr 8 Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Sapper, How do you like your Tapco Intrafuse system? I ordered one for my .308 a couple days ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sapper 0 Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 It's not bad, but I have a plan to make it better, I just need time... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chrisAlaska 0 Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 (edited) Added the SGM muzzle brake today. Not so much recoil now. I'm a recoil puss. ZA_Survivalist, I wrote something up here http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?showtopic=48412&st=90 about the muzzle. I like it.

ZA_Survivalist 7 Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 Hey ChrisAlaska, how do you like the SMG muzzle break? I have a S.308 that I just want to leave plain barreled due to the cost of buying another couple of Bulgarian FSBs. Anyway, is it effective? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PaiN 1 Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 With the .308 mostly complete(except for the forend I'll have to add to keep in compliance once I get HiCap mags) I thought I'd put up some pics of the weapons I plan to use if any bad business ever comes down. -Saiga .308 battle rifle -Glock 30 .45ACP sidearm -Taurus PT709 Slim 9mm ccw 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Looking to get new furniture but budget constraints have forced an old bulgy stock on it for the meantime. Still psyched ,if for no other reason than a decent trigger.

lifegard 2 Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 Latest build with TWS Dogleg rail and peep site under scope. 21.8" barrel SGM brake and Tromix charger handle on the way. I polished the bolt and rails, Dinzag FCG-polished, folding adjustable stock, RAM mag release extension. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
esource 4 Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Changed out all Saiga furniture. Before picture all Tapco polymer. After picture Kvar handguard and Tiger Imports Stock on Saiga .308 All other Furniture changed to new TimberSmith from Tapco. Stocks are about 5/8" longer than Warsaw stocks and not as long as Nato. TimberSmith fit and finish is excellent....well worth the $$$ Before: After: 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
russiangunrunner 10 Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 this is NOT my rifle, but this is by far, the craziest saiga i have ever see... if the barrel was any bigger you'd have to start saving the bottom of the piston... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fal_762x51 0 Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 I think that was TurboThis's build with a 1919a4 .308 barrel. He sold it off recently I believe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I shot two boxes of ammo through all of those magazines. Everything worked fine. The trigger and safety all work just right. As an aside, the polymer mags fit pretty tight. The csspecs magazine works fine but the rear catch tab does not touch the receiver. Weird. Of the three aftermarket magazines, I like the fit of the Promag the best. jrmock 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've currently got a couple 20 rd mags, and the standard 8 rd. I'm looking for a 25 rd mag for the range...does Promag make a 25 rd? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
csspecs 1,987 Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 The csspecs magazine works fine but the rear catch tab does not touch the receiver. Weird Correct. They will likely only contact on 1 out of every 3 rifles give or take. Otherwise everyone would have to file them to fit. Example: Yeah I had some issues with my polymer mags at first, but after slamming in the mags several times, they fit much better and work very well. This works with polys, metal you would be beating until doomsday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

More pics on Photobucket at http://s25.photobucket.com/albums/c70/2450paul/Saiga%20308%20Strategic/?start=all the first 25 pics are before Mike tigged the bases for the MBUS and the ears that make doing a dustcover scope mount rock solid with a positive return to zero. Mike and I built this for me but I may be going to sell it to help start up my Polymer Grip Profiling business. Thanks, Paul G.

paprotective 362 Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 Just picked up Janis about 5pm Friday for my passionate night of sleeping with her.. (tradition here) Next morning took her to the range (factory dressed an FCG).. and managed a 2" group from a bag rest at 100 yards.. Then took her home and undressed her.. Tapco G2 (modded by me including a washer to center the trigger). After a dead rotatry tool and wait for dremel to arrive back.. (scope is for show, getting a different type) Waiting on csspecs mag and parts.. Also getting a 24m flashider for her from Boba... and better/bigger scope.. These Saiga's are never DONE..
