komblockid 0 Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 I bought the Russian scope mount that is supposed to fit Saiga's but it only fits my .223 tight. When I put it on the .308 it is loose. I checked the rails on the guns and cannot find a difference between the two, but apparently there is. Both guns are EEA imports. Any suggestions?

Ogar Lumox 1 Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 (edited) Don't know what mount you have but the one I have has an adjustment on the lever to tighten it up if it is too loose on the rail. The one I have (don't remember brand) has a single lever that you flip to thighten it down. If you have the indtructions for it look and see if it talks about the adjustment.

komblockid 0 Posted March 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Hey lumox, thanks. After removing the small tab from the lever I figured out how to adjust it. After I get it assembled I will post pics. I didn't think it was adjustable at first, once again thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Here is a link to a manual on adjusting Russian-style side mounts: AK-style clamp adjustment from Kalinka. BTW, if you go to kalinka optics and check out their manuals section - scroll to the bottom, left panel - there is some useful stuff there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
komblockid 0 Posted March 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 Went to the sight and thats pretty much what I had figured out. Thanks for the link, at least I know I didn't screw things up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
