uzitiger 193 Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Maybe we get lucky and RAA gets a hold of some of these. Saiga .22 Is that Saiga 22 for real? It would be great to see one to complement the other Saiga toys. Black Dog Machine is considering making parts for the WASR 22 if they get enough demand. They invested a lot of money in their 30 round magazines and the more AK22 owners the faster they can get a return on their investment for the magazine molds. I have a receiver made with the unused parts removed for compliance waiting for BDM to make the parts. Anyone interested should let Black Dog Machine know they want one.

Cobra 76 two 2,677 Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 I have a WASR-22. At first, I had problems with empty casings rattling around in the receiver. Enlarging the ejection port substantially solved that problem. I had major problems with the BDM mags feeding too. I switched to CCI Mini Mag copper-plated round nose ammo, and they now feed much better. The key seems to be using ammo with bullets that have a "sleek" profile. Bullets with more of a blunt tip usually do not work well. I may be wrong, but my understanding is that the cam screw on the bottom of the bolt assembly simply adjusts how close the extractor claw is to the bolt face to account for differences in the rim thicknesses of ammo made for the U.S. vs the European market. The reason the screw mainly just spins without tightening is that the adjustment is meant to have just two positions: closer and farther. Now that I have cleaned and lubricated the gun thoroughly, enlarged the ejection port, and switched to the CCI Mini Mag CRN ammo, the gun runs at almost 100%. Maybe I was just lucky. Good luck with yours! Bump! I finally found a WASR .22 and just shot it for the first time yesterday. I had the same issue with empties bouncing back into the dustcover. Could someone post a pic of their modded dustcover that will let the hulls clear? Hey Joe did you get yours runnin ok with those BDM mags? I gotta get some of those. I'm also planning on modding a regular 30 rd AK mag to hold the factory ten rdr on the inside and look more like a regular AK. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IndyArms 10,186 Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 Cobra... what brand of ammo were you running through it? I found that I had NO ejection problems with the Federal bulk pack ammo, and the CCI Minimags really zinged out of it... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cobra 76 two 2,677 Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 I was using Remy High Velocity 1225 fps and some Winchester 1250 fps hollow points. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uzitiger 193 Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 (edited) I called Black Dog Machine and asked them if they will make WASR22 parts and they said that they have too many projects going on to make any parts for it. I told them that a lot of AK owners would buy up their parts and they'll sell more magazines if they made bolts, extractors and other parts needed to complete the rifles. Apparently their shop is geared towards molding plastic parts than machining steel parts for sale. Edited December 13, 2009 by uzitiger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
