Boss Hogg 0 Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 I'm very happy with this rifle thus far. $305 (don't ask- they sold out at that price a while back ) plus fees for PG conversion (including BHO). I took it to the range yesterday, and ran 25 rds of Malaysian surplus ammo through a 25rd SureFire mag. No problems. I was firing slow off the bench to see how it would group. (surprisingly tight, but my eyes had trouble with the indoor lighting focusing the front sight on the sight-in target.....not a big fan of standard AK sights for "sighting in"). I removed the Tapco stock that came with conversion and installed a Vltor AK extension tube (Brownells p/n 100-003-177) and EMOD stock (100-003-186). What a difference! The surface area is at least 50% bigger, and the weight helps balance the comparatively thick barrel. Suggestions on a flash hider and foregrips? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cobra 76 two 2,677 Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Check out what dinzag has to offer. He helped me out a lot with my .308.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
macbeau 902 Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 +1 for Dinzag. He is kind of a one-stop-shop for the do-it-yerselfers - especially for the S-308. For a nomininal fee, he can back-bore your FSB to set back on the barrel, rent you a threading kit (with TAT) for the barrel diameter you have (5/8-24 or 17x1) and rent you a crowning tool too. He can also tap your muzzle device for your threaded muzzle or sell you one he has listed. All this, and he has some very good tutorials on how to correctly do all these thing. None of this terribly expensive and he is a great guy to deal with. I put an M-60 GPMG flash suppressor (which is already 5/8-24, FWIW) on mine and Dinzag machined off the small ring around the base of it so it would fit flush with the FSB. I had him do that when I sent him my FSB to be back-bored... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hunter78 1 Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 anouther +1 for dinzag and another +1 for the M60 flash hider. Mine was the larger barrel, but he can bore that and retap. Accuracy surprisingly is better with it on. Check gunbroker for them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
