rocinante 100 Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 Just ordered the last 7.62 x 39 16.3" (IZ-132) that stanley pro shop had. 259.96, free shipping, but since I am in georgia I had to pay 18.20 in tax which is less than most people ship. overall 278.16 so I feel I got a good deal. Does not have the dimples but oh well. Just felt if I did not get it I would be sorry. I got my S12 and they are damn hard to come by now. Just got the sense that is happening to the rifles too. Must control gun purchase urges I got an SKS last month and overall I am pleased with it but I should of gotten the saiga in the first place. I love my S12 and after playing with it and the SKS I have really come to appreciate how beautiful the saiga really is. Any how just letting guys know I have reached another level of saiga ownership. Next fever is for the .308. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

UnidenStew 1 Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 (edited) Wow, that's some triple X rated porn there, Dinzag. What's the one in the middle with the drum? Looks like it was purchased that way. And congratulations on your recent purchase, Ricionete. When I bought my Saiga, it was a close call between that and a real nice Russian SKS. I got the Saiga, had it converted, and I'm not sorry one bit. Especially since my last trip to the range last Monday. With my new Kobra Collimator sight, I got a 7 shot 2 inch group at 65 yards with it. Edited May 23, 2007 by MacMan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dinzag 31 Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 Middle & top are my Saiga/Romy build. My main utility beater - no finish on the furniture. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rocinante 100 Posted May 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 Mo better Danzig I will definitely be ordering some stuff from you for the conversion. Definitely the bullet guide. I saw the two of the nicest Russian SKSs yesterday. They looked perfectly brand new with the laminated stocks. The shop wanted 500 each for them. ouch. I think I paid a record price for my yugo but if I can get it to operate properly I will be okay with that. I am going to try my first 3 gun competition the first sat in june. My attitude is it will just be fun but I hope I do well enough to catch the competitive bug. I am loving my new gun hobby big time. It is absurd but owning my S12 and doing the conversion on it I feel I have something special that not every kid has. I really like starting with the saiga and customizing them to be my gun. Plus all the AK variants confuse the hell out of me. When I am finished with my x39 I will at least have the satisfaction of knowing I probably will have as good (dependable, rugged, reasonably accurate) of an Russian AK as any one else.

UnidenStew 1 Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 Middle & top are my Saiga/Romy build. My main utility beater - no finish on the furniture. No finish? Remember that Russian Laminate wood front hand guard I sent you? I kept the pistol girp, and refinished it because I did not like the shellac the ruskies put on it. I stripped it, and then stained it with an oil base (minwax) red oak stain, and finished it with their new indoor/outdoor polyurethane semi gloss finish in a spray can. Only took four coats. Dried real smooth, no runs or blemishes. Tuff as nails. I highly recommend it. That red oak stain is the ticket, too. Very close to the original color of the russian wood.

If I were you, I'd stock up on high cap mags before I did anything else. With the AWB looming, the price of mags will triple in price as soon as it picks up more steam. I like the 20 round mags. The thirties are to cumbersome for my tastes, however, to each his own. A good source for quality mags is http://www.akparts.com. They are currently sold out of the 20 round mags, but still list the 30's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
remi 0 Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 I know this will happen to me so I purchased 1 x39 and 1 308 at once. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
