Knox2 0 Posted March 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 yea I was thinking the same thing just wanted to confirm I just dont get how the Saigas are so much cheaper then the AK My friend tells me its because you can a Saiga a fully Auto Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SaigaNoobie 66 Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 yea I was thinking the same thing just wanted to confirmI just dont get how the Saigas are so much cheaper then the AK My friend tells me its because you can a Saiga a fully Auto I don't follow you on that last line... Saiga's cannot be made full auto, it's against the law.... SEMI-AUTO AK's CANNOT be made full auto, it's against the law. They're on even ground..... unless you spend 15,000 and get a FA AK47.

Knox2 0 Posted March 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 You can make an illegal adjustment to make it fullly Auto Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mini14jac 1 Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 (edited) They're cheaper because you have to modify the Saiga to have a pistol grip, and other features of the AK. You also have to modify it to take AK mags. You can probably modify any gun to make it full auto, but...... Converting any existing gun into full auto is a sure way to get a long-term roomate who thinks you'd look good in pink panties! Spend some time reading and searching on here. You'll find most of your questions have been asked and answered. Edited March 24, 2008 by mini14jac Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Knox2 0 Posted March 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Appreciate it man and you answered my question. I rather shoot semi personally. after three rounds on auto rounds will be dancing everywhere. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scoutjoe 276 Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Ak's never overheat? Maybe you missed that video floating around about the guy with the flaming handguards? Or I could post a pic of my front handguards that are melted on the inside from us firing too fast.... even though its an AK its still a machine and it will have problems at some point in time.

MD_Willington 11 Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 You can make an illegal adjustment to make it fullly Auto Hmm, an adjustment. Well I guess the plastic surgeon will call it an "adjustment" to repair what an out of battery explosion will do to some ones face... There are no adjustments to be made with the rifles. If you understand the design difference between the military and the civilian versions of the rifles you would understand. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MD_Willington 11 Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Hey not meaning to kick you but a lot of people have no idea what the differences are between military and civie style parts... Saying, "a couple a tweaks and its a machine gun" isn't true... All meant in good spirit! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nalioth 405 Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 You can pm me or let me know the difference or even send me a link I d like to know differenceWhat you wish to know is easily found elsewhere. Illegal machine guns aren't fun enough to make up for a minimum 10 years in the pokey and seizure of all your property. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vultite 57 Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 (edited) a real AK is more expensive b/c of limited #'s in circulation in the US since the import ban, so the prices are naturally higher then saigas which are imported all the time. It is the same gun, just different stock/trigger setup, and saigas are not fully auto, u can bumpfire but that no where near the same... edit: "real ak" = factory configured RUSSIAN assault rifle (AK47 or newer model) Edited March 25, 2008 by Vultite Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Knox2 0 Posted March 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 You guys are misunderstanding me I m not trying to make an illegal fire arm Im trying to just understand the difference . Relax fellas Your better off shooting Semi and aiming trust me I know this Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MD_Willington 11 Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 You have the internet and a local library right...? That is all you need. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
csspecs 1,987 Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 (edited) Autos have a number of extra parts, basically an auto has a lever that is tripped when the bolt closes and lets the hammer drop at that point... Not quite that simple but you get the idea. I have a number of AKs and saigas and they are the same rifle. And you can overheat an AK just as easy as a saiga. About 100+ rounds real quick and you will have some smoke starting to come off your handgaurds, few hundred more and they will be on fire. PS, sand and mud can cause an AK to jam..... It takes a lot but they do jam. look up "bumpfiring" on you tube. Edited March 25, 2008 by csspecs Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shellshock1918 1 Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 Aks can fire anywhere mud sand etc and never overheat or jam Can the same be said for the Saiga? One day at the range I tested my Saiga out to see if it lived up to the hype. I threw 3 hand fulls of dirt into the reciever, replaced the cover and fired 20 rounds without a hitch. I kept on shooting for the rest of that day(another 30+ rounds). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
