Armadillo 1 Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 I got bored and decided to make my own bullet guide for my new saiga. Made with a piece of flat steel, grinder, file and dremel cutoff wheel: It works well just sitting in there cycling rounds, but I don't want to drill and tap the trunion yet. I think I may epoxy it in and take it to the range before I make it permanent. We'll see how it holds up to live fire with epoxy, but hopefully it will make it through a mag. I'll let you know how it turns out. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mullet Man 2,114 Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 awesome. post up pics of it installed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Armadillo 1 Posted October 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 Got the guide in and it feeds without issue, but I haven't fired it yet. I modified the saiga 10-round mag to fit and it works well too. Just got to get out to the range and shoot it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shellshock1918 1 Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 I thought the 5.45 Saigas could take the military 5.45 mags without a bullet guide? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GeorgiaPD 408 Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 I thought the 5.45 Saigas could take the military 5.45 mags without a bullet guide? They can, but they may not feed consistantly without one. One of those better safe than sorry type of things. Armadillo, Nice pictoral and write up on the DIY bullet guide. Good job..
