Norotor 1 Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 My 308 from Tromix with our new billet forearm. Quad top rail available very soon. Looks nice, would I be able to use an Ace clamp-on front-sight with that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dirt Diver 0 Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 Been a LONG while since I was here. I am really happy with my latest buys of a Draco and converted Saiga 308. What do you all think. The only thing I would like to get is a flash kill. Does that $170 SMG muzzle break that bolts onto the sight block really work well or not. What about recoil reduction. It sure is pricey.

MgcShroomz 0 Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 Dirt Diver - Where are you located and what did you pay for the Draco? If you don't mind me asking! I just came home from the C&E gun show and seen a few of those there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dirt Diver 0 Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 (edited) I'm in southeast Michigan. The guy I bought it from was the original owner for a few months. I paid $310. I thought is was a good price. Edited May 15, 2011 by Dirt Diver Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GunMonger 1 Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 (edited) First Saiga, pretty much stock with 4x-8x POSP. Going to leave it stock although I would love some wood (sportarized) furniture for it. I have a 7.62x39 and .223 on the way and look forward to converting them.

Crow 2 Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Been I long time since I posted up in here, good to see some of the old crew is still around. Just finished converting my old 308 that I have had in stock wood for years, figgered it was time for a change and some decent trigger feel... and for giggles here's the old shotgun in some veru early BRG3 wood... Big thanks to Greg for all his super quick shipping and patience with my questions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ZA_Survivalist 7 Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 My newly 3/4 finished Saiga .308 (My other woman) All she needs now is a muzzle brake. Haven't had the time or narrowed down the right brake. Also, the method of attachment for the Carolina Shooters Supply Tri-Rail as well as a Uinta 20 round magazine. The rear portion is a Magpul UBR stock as well as an ACE internal adapter and AR stock adapter. Happy with ALL products as well as companies that supplied the products used.

Berzerker2 19 Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 (edited) My .308 with bells & whistles.... and I know...convert convert convert...later I plan on converting this to AK configuration, PG where it SHOULD be FINALLY! You guys all gave the the confidence to go ahead with convering my .308. My 7.62 will be next after the .308 Well I think my .308 is done...for now at least. THANK YOU ALL for telling me to convert to PG. It's like a whole different rifle.. 308 is the easiest but I am now getting ready to do my 7.62.

Casimir_Pulaski 0 Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 That's a Bushmaster muzzle brake. I worked on the trigger to make it lighter and crisper. I'm in Foley, so we're not that far apart. do all you want to the factory trigger but it will still be crap. just my 2 cents. I didn't find the stock trigger all that bad, really. Just a long and odd pull, but certainly workable in a pinch. Hell, I have met guys who actually changed a stock Glock trigger to the 8 lb. NY kit because they preferred it. Different strokes. Here's my latest iteration ... 18" barrel, PWS FSC30 brake, K-var NATO length stock and rubber pad, Tac Ops stock pack, Nikon Monarch 3-10 mildot scope, blah blah blah ... Shot two sub 1" groups Monday morning but only for three rounds, then they opened up. But it looks like I have finally gotten it to 2 MOA for ten, which has always been the goal. Glad I didn't give up on it. The target in the pic is not from Monday, though. That was zeroing with my bolt gun loads, which formerly shot 5" groups thru the Saiga but now do around 2". What buttstock is that? BTW hello all, first post, I'm in the process of buying a 21'' .308 saiga so I figured I'd join the forum Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tailgun 2 Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Here's my Saiga 308 that I got for an absolute steal. I modded the hand guard, and need to get some sort of aperture sight. The only problem is that there isn't much work left to do to it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Folks create their own style by drilling vent holes or slots, trimming itg to different shapes, etc. Just do your own thing. If you screw up, just look around for a used one cheap on line somewhere and try again. Cheers, Harv Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mav 459 Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 I just put a YHM Phantom 5C2 on my 16" 308. I bought the 5/8 x 24 and re-threaded it to 17x1. As soon as the weather and time permits I plan on doing a night shoot video with and without it to show the difference. I know it is working to some extent because now I am unable to see the fireball in full daylight like I could before....but only a night shoot will really show how much it works. The 5C2 is a flash hider/compensator. The way it accomplishes the "brake" action is by redirecting the gasses upward to reduce muzzle climb. It is indexed and it does not have slots on the bottom to prevent kicking up dust or dirt when firing from a prone position. I have been wanting that YHM comp for 2 years, did you thread the barrel yourself, or have it done? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

guncats 4 Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 Hogslayer, that is a interesting scope mount on the 308, is it mounted to the rear sight base or some special barrel mount? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bookerbass2000 10 Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 It's a Scout Scopes mount. Didn't quite get the eye relief I needed for my Nikon Monarch, EER, so I put the old glass on it. Seems pretty solid and the balance seems better on the rifle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Seems pretty solid and the balance seems better on the rifle. If you want a good scout scope try a leupold IER It worked great on my mosin with a scout mount. I got one I might be willing to part with if your interested Quote Link to post Share on other sites
