jdmakersmark 15 Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 I just signed the paper work from my FFL for my new Saiga in 308. Unfortunately I have to wait 7 days before I can take possession due to the regulations in Maryland. My FFL gave me the owners manual to look at until I take the gun home. Just a few questions.. 1. In the back on the manual it says the gun shot 93mm group with 4 shoots at 100M, Do they test fire them at the factory? 2. Do they ship them without the magazine. The manual has a line through the magazine? I didn't get to go through the box the FFL was in a hurry to get me going. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
astrowrench 9 Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Yes they come with a mag i don't know about any extensive test firing Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jdmakersmark 15 Posted December 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Thanks, The manual is interesting it lists other converted versions. I just can't wait to take it to the range and brake it in. Then I will get busy on the conversion process. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
volkov 318 Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Sorry you have to wait to get your hands on your baby.. Glad I don't live in MD anymore.. wait will be worth it though.. You should get a magazine.. and I was under the impression that testing was extremely limitted/nonexistant, but I honestly do not know for sure and would like to hear otherwise. On a side note- just the manual from two conversions I'm working on, both 5.45 and it says that a 100m is did 80mm and one did 131mm.. Hadn't noticed it before, and I can't the certificate for the older saigas.. just the manual Quote Link to post Share on other sites
csspecs 1,987 Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 (edited) I think they test fire 5 rounds, not much but enough to tell you if the barrel is bad or not. Edited December 7, 2009 by csspecs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vbrtrmn 167 Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Congrats on your purchase, move down to VA, we actually want gun owners in my state Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paprotective 362 Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Most rifles I think for the last 2 years at least come with mm spec sheets. My x39 was 'horrible' at 143mm spread but its got dimples and I'm sure the test-guy was 'lit' as the sheet and info were dated 12/16/2008. Finally got a range to go join (less than 30 mins from house) and test mine post-conversion (shoot n c targets) and will put up results hopefully in the next 3-4 weeks. I just want MOD results at 100 yards or so. Congrats on the 308. Awesome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jdmakersmark 15 Posted December 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 I wish I didn't live in Maryland, but I am stuck here for the time being. I am planning to making the move to Tennessee in the future. I miss my concealed carry permit. The package I purchased came with a scope mount, mounts and a cheap Tasco Pronghorn scope. I am interested to see how it does out of the box. I will be thrilled if it shoots 3" groups. Thanks for all the info Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jdmakersmark 15 Posted December 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 The gun is finally home. I am really pleased. It came with all the goodies and an 8 round mag. Not a bad gun for 449. Of course I will have to see how it shoots, but I really think it's going to be a handy little rifle with a good punch. I need to get it to the range and put a few hundred rounds through it. Then I will start the conversion process. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RobRez 1,895 Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 What if someone was clever enough to plan a crime 9 days in advance?!? I think we should make you wait longer for your new rifle which should come with a magazine! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
