vzagumennyy 0 Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 well, we've all seen the new saiga's with dimples, and most of us want one....BAD. especialy the y-marked ones that are ALSMOST the real deal russian AKM reciever...whats the diff? is the smooth side better with mags or is the dimple one? and the final question is has anybody been able to reproduce these? i mean the ak flats some people use have dimples....of course they aren't heat treated, the flats i mean...but yeah just a thought...any know how?

micah360 6 Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 The dimple is supposed to help cut down on mag wobble. Here's my shiny new 7.62 with the dimple, courtesy Will at Red Jacket. It dosen't have the "Y" mark... but I'm not complaining about that! The mag doesn't have much wobble at all, but I don't have a 7.62 with a flat receiver to compare. I do have a .223 and a .308 (without dimples) and those mags wobble much more than the dimpled 7.62. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jsotelo5150 0 Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 What's the "y" mark. I've heard people talking about that but don't have a clue what it means. Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The hook on the front is to latch the stock to the receiver once it's folded. Edited May 12, 2007 by micah360 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kresk 10,063 Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 What's the "y" mark. I've heard people talking about that but don't have a clue what it means. Thanks! Think the "Y" is where the autosear pin would go in the FA version. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
