ChileRelleno 7,071 Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 Is your wood really that much darker than mine, and other's? I'd love to see another pic in full sunlight, some really showing the grain/patterning. I really wub my ver.21. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nsdhanoa 13 Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 You ver. 21 people need to stop showing off and giving me a plastic inferiority complex (or is it wood envy). My only solace is that I'm left handed and I can't fit my hand in a R.H. thumbhole stock anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'd love to see another pic in full sunlight, some really showing the grain/patterning. I really wub my ver.21. Not sure if it's just the lighting -- the flash and photoshop didn't really improve things. It looks darker like the Saiga-Ms, eh?. I'll try to get an outdoor photo as soon as it stops raining.

CJS3 3 Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 Just picked up this Saiga 308 last month. Added a Tapco stock and Surefire mags. Scope and mount were picked up from Sportsman Guide. The scope is a cheapy and will be replaced, but the mount seems to be okay. The cheek rest was just some pipe insulation I had out in the shop, but works just fine. I really like the look of the trigger group, moved foward of the factory location. Is there a parts kit for that or that a gunsmith only modification? Well I made the FCG mod, and put on a nicer feeling grip. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BrutalGardener 205 Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Here's the latest incarnation of my little DMR. Had a gunsmith shorten the barrel by two inches and thread it for 5/8"x24. Installed a Yankee Hill Machine Phantom flash hider. Sorry about the image quality. My pictures are usually much better, but I am letting someone borrow my "real" camera right now and had to use my phone to take these. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ChileRelleno 7,071 Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 (edited) Which rail is that, is it the CNC Warrior rail? Looks almost like the actual polish beryl rail. What, if any, is the clearance between scope and rail? Oh yeah... Nice ver.21 Lighter color than my and other ver.21s. Edited October 28, 2010 by ChileRelleno Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dudethebagman 222 Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 Which rail is that, is it the CNC Warrior rail? Looks like the actual polish beryl rail almost. What, if any, is the clearance between scope and rail? Oh yeah... Nice ver.21 Lighter color than my and other ver.21s. Yep, it's the CNC Warrior/DPH Arms quick detach rail. It has both logos engraved on it. The scope is on low rings. I wanted to mount it as low as I could. I actually filed down the rear of the rail somewhat so the ocular lens would fit. There's still not a hell of a lot of clearance, but there's some. Maybe a millimeter. That rail is quite stout though, so I'm not too worried about flex. My ostrich-like neck necessitated that I mount the scope as far forward as it is. This combination makes it kind of a pain to clean because I can BARELY get the dust cover off with the amount the rail raises up. Luckily the guts don't need to be cleaned that often. I just get her lubed up and slide my rod down the muzzle end. Don't worry, I always use protection. As far as the color goes, I think it's just the lighting or the camera. It's dark and crappy here today, the floor lamp in my living room is fluorescent, and the flash glares off the wood a little. All the the pictures came out lighter than it actually looks, and you can't really see the grain. Looks about the same color as the pictures of yours, though the grain on yours is a little nicer. Otherwise, it has the RSA trigger (which took a little modification to fit), and the rockmount bipod (which took a little modification to fit where it's mounted). Scope is a Bushnell 3200 elite 3x9.

gregomega 929 Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 Ok, Here it is. Pretty much done. Need to sight in the new FSB and find me a good scope and bipod. Saiga 308 Dinzag: FCG modified OD green Kvar ware modified gas tube 74 FSB bolt on lower HG retainer AK103.com 74 Brake made for 308 modified cleaning rod MD Malot Grip and a sissy butt pad works great!

DrThunder88 912 Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Neat work! That short forearm makes the barrel look really long. The OD green furniture looks great too. I just gave my Tupperware a once-over in OD green today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I just gave my Tupperware a once-over in OD green today. Thanks! I put some good effort and $ into this build. Have a sling and Bipod on the way. Currently looking for a decent scope and 20 round mags that wont brake the bank. Cant go wrong with ODG tupperware Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ZA_Survivalist 7 Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 (Bottom Rifle) Just slapped on the EMA aluminum buffer tube and the Magpul MOE stock. Looks and feels GREAT! Now I just need to attach a new FSB or thread the barrel.. (I've yet to decide which route) And I'm sad to say, but I'm letting the top rifle go. Well, maybe.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
randomchance 0 Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 I finally converted mine...

I'd like to shorten the barrel to 20" and add a compensator, but I haven't gotten that brave yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It does not look like it is on their correctly, does it function OK like that? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
randomchance 0 Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 Isn't the barrel already 20" length? Regardless, excellent job on your rifle/covert. The stock long barrel is 22" (actually 21.8" inches, but close enough). I'd like to go 20" or even 18" to optimize for overall length while not subjecting myself to the muzzle blast of the 16" barrel. I think the M1A barrel is 18.5" so I know that length works. Maybe someday I'll get my poop in a group and give it a go, until then I'm pretty happy with what I've got now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
