concho 0 Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 Came home from the funshow today with a new Saiga 7.63x39. I have been looking for an Ak to grab before the ban hits if ti does (hopefully it wont ) Saw a bunch of WASR for around 350-375 when i noticed someone selling Saigas for 240. Figured for a hundred extra in parts i would end up with a much better gun so it came hime with me. Also picked up a Romy drum and some bulgarian bolt hold open mags to try out as well. If the bulgy mags work out might just go ahead and epoxy a spent case to the followers of my other mags to function as a bolt hold open. Has anyone tried that with any success?

WHITE NOISE 0 Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 Well concho, get ready cause buying Saigas is like eating chips " betcha can't eat just one" I think you did well. The Saiga is much better and with all the aftermarket parts you will be putting together an excellent AK example compared to the Romy. I have two Saiga 7.62s and two S-12's love um like they were my own kids! (not really, but at least as much as I live the wife.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kresk 10,063 Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 If you poke around dragunov.net there is a link there somewhere on epoxying a shell to the mags to make a BHO mag. So yes, it's been done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JK-47 33 Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 I belive there is a better method than epoxying in empties to your follower. Its similar to the yugo BH method and doesn't take up any extra space in your mag or add weight like a empty shell would... http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=4&...=55&t=84152 . You can use the Falcon Arms followers, and they count towards compliance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
