ralphie 0 Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 (edited) Hey Guys, I'm interested in getting a Saiga .308 w/ the 16" barrel. I was just wondering what my options for muzzle brakes were. The barrel is not threaded for one, correct? If that is the case, I would rather not thread it myself, and just get a pin on muzzle break. Are there any good ones? Cause its gonna be crappy and not work well, or just fall off I won't even waste my time. I've read all the 16" vs. 22" topics here, and it seems like a couple people said the 16" pretty much shoots flames out the barrel, lol. Would everyone else agree with that too? Maybe a flash supressor would be a good idea then? any of those available? Also, where do you guys generally get accessories for your saigas? PS-damn these forums, won't let me edit the title!! realized i spelled it wrong a second afte posting Edited October 27, 2004 by ralphie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RooK 0 Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 (edited) I really haven't noticed flames shooting from my 16" barrel, but I'm sure they're there if you shoot it at dusk. I'm going to find a way to attach a flash suppressor when I get a chance, probably threading the barrel. This mainly for 'ban' reasons as well as looks. I've heard RPB has a press on muzzle break or thread adapter for Saiga rifles. Might want to give them a call if you're set on one of those. http://www.rpbusa.com/ Best source of parts/US made accessories: http://www.k-var.com Good FCG/US parts: http://www.tapco.com Nice US parts/best FCG available: http://www.redstararms.com Edited October 27, 2004 by RooK Quote Link to post Share on other sites

txn 0 Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 A guy on AK47.net posted pics of his .308 where he popped off the FSB and installed a flash hider: AK47.net It's towards the bottom of the page. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gandalf 0 Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 I have installed a muzzle brake. Did you have to remove the front sight? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TWGLADF 0 Posted November 6, 2004 Report Share Posted November 6, 2004 joeken firearms has brakes specially made for saigas. i believe they just pin in place like the 74 style. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cpileri 0 Posted November 7, 2004 Report Share Posted November 7, 2004 (edited) hmmm, wonder if you could pin and solder the ak-74 style brake that joeken has, dremel in 2 grooves and install a front sight out on the end of your barrel? It would be a way to get both a brake and a METAL mount for an extended sight radius- given that our hopes were dashed with the plastic ones ATI is coming out with.

vjor 2 Posted November 7, 2004 Report Share Posted November 7, 2004 Children, children look in here, if you want a muzzle brake, this guy can custom any for your saiga and forget to try to put a cheap pin muzzle brake on your .308 unless you want it to go flying 20 feet in front you rifle, welded, silver solder or treaded is the way. http://www.dynasystems-ltd.com/index.html By the way joeken muzzle brakes are ok, they are made by Vulcan arms and they have to be welded or silver solder, have installed it on saiga 7.62x 39 not to happy with it.
