devildog1122 0 Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Last weekend at the range, this guy has a Poly Tech Chinese Match Barrel Ak-47. He offer to let me shoot it, and it was amazing accurate. The barrel was way thicker than traditional AK-47 barrel. With all kinds of thoughts running through my head and I thought to myself, what if the Saiga .308 barrel were bore to .223 and 762 and put it in .223 and 762 receiver? I would think is an easy process if the manufacturer really want to do it because all the parts they have already. I wonder if we can submit this request to the importer and see what they have to say. If this is available, can you imagine how accurate the .223 and 762 will shoot?

MD_Willington 11 Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Why not get a US made "bull" barrel, of course none of the press on parts would be able to press on... you could get a barrel pressed and head spaced into the Saiga trunion... Just takes $$$ and a gunsmith to get it done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TonyRumore 1,332 Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Stay tuned, my friends.....you're going to see a bull barrel consistent sub-moa Saiga from Tromix in the very near future. I am working on a 1/2 MOA AK with a milled receiver as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
devildog1122 0 Posted July 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 TonyRumore, I can't wait to see it MD_Willington, I just want to see if the manufacturer can do it and how it is going to cost compare to the way you suggested. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

devildog1122 0 Posted July 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 (edited) I contacted the rep at raac and he said that's an interesting idea. He will talk to the russian to see what they have to say. Edited July 23, 2007 by devildog1122 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BobAsh 582 Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 (edited) Ax-man, the first one is going to be in .223. Also, this gun has a modified gas system and some other tricks, not just a Bull barrel. Edited July 23, 2007 by BobAsh Quote Link to post Share on other sites

With enough Vodka and Rubles you could probably convince them to build you one... The real problem is, "if it ain't broke... don't fix it"... They may be reluctant to "Special Spec" you an AKM like that since they are busy churning out "Proletariat-Plinkers" for some global players with deep pockets. Tony, sounds like something really cool is in the works! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
