Bonesaw 1 Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Got here today (man Gilbert's ships fast!) Filled out my paperwork and OTD total was 499.00. I got it home and looked it over. Does it look the same as the others or did IZ change something? Took some pics of the bottom, is the plate normal or am I gonna have to do more work to convert it???? Here's some pics!!!

KyleWeiss 0 Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 I noticed there's a lack of black paint on the bolt hold-open and some of the rivets, or it flaked off... *shrugs* Besides that, no defects... That's a good thing. KW Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's a good thing. KW Yeah, mine came like that too when I got it from Gilbert's last spring. What hadn't already flaked off in shipping soon did upon firing, but at least its consistent. Just on the pins and BHO, no trouble with the finish on the reciever. But like you say, *shrug* no biggie. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SaigaNoobie 66 Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Did yours say "Read owner's manual before use" ? My 109 doesn't and that makes me happy... I don't ride the short bus Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I use it on M44/M38 parts because it's very close to the Russian black arsenal paint. KW Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Its not like an black oxy ,buty more like a paint that is chiped and worn off. The ak parts hav a better finish fom the older days my romy g kits are to times better wear. The parts are all more heavy duty compared to saiga. I guess it's because of thre hunting standard not a war rifle. I wunder how well the stock 7.63 x 39 bolt will hold uop in full auto/. Id say will do it but will fail apon a torture test. Just aint the same. Although you can buy the full auto trigger pards put them in during the conversion and swap out the weak sagia parts. well got to go . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

oldandslow 3 Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 Looks beautiful. I have one coming myself, and I just purchased a new set of Cobalt drills. I am anxious to center punch the rivets holding down the trigger guard and drill the heads off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
