atakacorp 147 Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 (edited) Took my baby to the range on the weekend . I laser bore it at home,so you can see my first eight shots and after that my daughter was hitting all shotgun clay pigeon Targets, 4 inches in diameter at 100 yards all day long Scope started to move forward after 20 rounds , so I tightened it,and it was solid after 200+ rounds.

rightwing87 0 Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Awesome. I'd love to build one myself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
atakacorp 147 Posted March 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 (edited) Thanks. I had upper an lower hand guards from my PSL(I dressed her in Poly)and Dragunov style stock for AK,gas tube and lower hand guard retainer, used PSL's scope as well. The hardest part was removing crappy polish from the wood , P.S. bullet guide on the way Edited March 7, 2011 by atakacorp Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Scope will fit ,the only problem it will move forward after 40-60 rounds,make sure its very tight. PS scope goes from the front of the rail, pull the iron sight up,so it wont be on the way Edited March 24, 2011 by atakacorp Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PS scope goes from the front of the rail, pull the iron sight up,so it wont be on the way Actually the LPS/Tip 2 isn't designed to fit the AK74M/AK100 series rail found on the Saiga and that's exactly why it's sliding forward. It should mount on the rail from the back but the center rivet/pin is blocked by the design of the Saiga rail. The center rivet/pin is what stops it from sliding forward under recoil but mounting it from the front doesn't give it anything to push against. LPS's are decent scopes but in this case the rail is an issue, I don't think you will be able to tighten it enough to prevent it from sliding forward. Z Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Z Thanks ,Zen, I knew it would be a challenge, I have 8X on my Saiga 30-06, so I familiar on the rail differences. What do you guys think about this bubba fix of this problem? I am thinking to drill and top rail,longer screw ,you can see where on the pic Edited March 25, 2011 by atakacorp Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What do you guys think about this bubba fix of this problem? I am thinking to drill and top rail,longer screw ,you can see where on the pic Instead of the bubba fix what about trying to swap the LPS mount for an AK mount? I have an LPS I can try it out with and let you know if it works. I know it works for POSP type scopes, and if it does for the LPS also then you can spend a couple bucks to swap to the AK mount that should stay tight and work for the long run.

TX-Zen 287 Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 It works, you most certainly can swap the LPS SVD base with an AK mount. Depending on the scope it could require some dremelling on the rear post to get the mount and the LPS posts to seat properly, I had some of the usual trouble getting the screws to seat just right. My AK mount could probably use a 32nd of an inch shaved off to make it flush mounted but I do believe with 4 screws and maybe some locktite it would hold up in the field just fine. So swapping the base should solve the issue of it walking forward. I'll try and get some pics up tomorrow evening. Z Quote Link to post Share on other sites
