BpS12 512 Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 I wish the S.308 came with at least a 24" barrel. Bullpup that and you'd have a great all round weapon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Trueno 4 Posted July 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 this barrel had to come from somewhere..some gun... must know so i can grab one too... Still haven't solved that mystery, SOMEONE is bound to stumble into this thread and recognize it. And yes, it's been an on-going project for way too long, too many irons in the fire, did finally score a no-go gauge for it. Also picked up a 1p21 scope, would that be overkill for .308? t Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zaf511 1 Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 Hopin' to headspace the next day or so and see how she does at the range this weekend. t That's one of the best looking rifles I've seen. Great work man! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
308SAIGA 55 Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 I have to admit this is the nicest 308 I've seen yet.... Congrats on your find, can you tell us where you got it? What the twist rate is? Are their any markings on the barrel? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nailbomb 10,221 Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 all that effort and the stock trigger pull... at this level how do you justify not converting? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What the twist rate is? Are their any markings on the barrel? I found the complete frontend on Gunbroker, then decided to build a rifle around it LOL. Somewhere during its life it had a threaded chamber, only marking is a British proof mark on the turned-down section. Haven't ever checked the twist, good question!

Thank you, what do you think about using the 1p21 scope? t I've not personally used one, but what I've read, it seems to be very easy to for range well beyond 750m. Have you shot yours yet, and if so, what kinds of groups are you getting at what ranges? I can't get over how sinister that gun looks. Love that barrel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
308SAIGA 55 Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 (edited) all that effort and the stock trigger pull... at this level how do you justify not converting? You have no idea what effort has gone into this so loosen your panties a notch or two, I have a RSA set for it. t LMAO, you will love that trigger group, I have it on my 308, you will have to change out that buttstock also. What buttstock do you plan on putting on? As far as twist rate, do you know how to determine the rate? If not here is what I was thinking, take your cleaning rod with a 308 brush on it, insert it from the muzzle to the chamber, start to pull out, when it starts to turn stop. Mark your rod (at the muzzle) with a dot then continue to pul slowly, once the dot turns 360 degrees and is on top again stop. Mark it at the muzzle with another dot, pull it out and measure the distance between the 2 dots, this will give you a general idea of the twist rate, it is either a 1:10 1:12 or even a 1:14 (I doubt this one) Let us know..... Added: I have to ask, what did you pay for it?? If you do not want to tell I understand, but I am part cat LOL.... Edited July 15, 2010 by Gunlover_2008 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

danielcoins 0 Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 (edited) It looks like a Remington 25 or R-25 barrel, thats been aftermarket fluted longer. Edited July 20, 2010 by danielcoins Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Trueno 4 Posted August 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Still hoping to find someone who knows the origin or, even better, the machinist of this setup. t 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zambidis 90 Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 How you shot it? Can you give us a range report? I have been very interested in that rifle since you first posted pics here. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mullet Man 2,114 Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Yeah, your info says you had plans for moving the FCG and headspacing it. Is it all down now and tested? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trueno 4 Posted August 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 No, due to the buttstock used I left the FCG as is. The headspace "looks" dead-on when viewing the internals, I have a NO-GO gauge but that's it. I have other pics of the barrel assy before I installed it but can't edit the OP so might start a fresh thread, really don't know at the moment. t 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mullet Man 2,114 Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Patience is definitely a virtue that you have! Is the barrel pinned in place? Did you install the barrel or a gunsmith? Headspace gauges can be bought from alot of the large online vendors, such as Midway and Brownell's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Superhawk138 202 Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 I still think that barrel was left by the Saiga gods as a sign. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nailbomb 10,221 Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 that's a long time to sit on a FCG without converting... I must be uptight again... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trueno 4 Posted December 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 Is that a custom piece?Who made it? Nobody knows. Its cross posted on several forums asking for any advise. The barrel is very distinctive of a super vepr but the rear sight base looks like a saiga .308 with the 300 meter leaf. The gas block is something I have never seen before. Barrel looks like Super Vepr only longer. Still hopin' to run across somebody that knows the origin. t Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VR762Shooter 838 Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 Still hopin' to run across somebody that knows the origin. t I think if anyone knew, we'd be seeing a few more of them around here by now. Good luck in your search Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sdustin 578 Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 If you guys want a long barrel have a machinist turn down a barrel blank and flute it. Wouldn't be as hard as some work I've seen people doing on here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sdustin 578 Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 What would you guys pay for a custom turned barrel like this in the white? Or stainless? I may can get my machineist buddy to help me out if there's money to be made. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
