ninja steve 0 Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 I searched around a little and found someone saying that some saigas made in late 09 have threaded barrels. I was wanting to know how can I tell how old my saiga is? I'm in the middle of re-doing it, waiting on the wood and the trigger to show up. It already has the holes for the pistol grip if that makes any difference on the age. I don't want to cut it up yet if is a good chance its not. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NM0 586 Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 The date is on the left side of the receiver just above the mag under the second symbol. Some threads say to take a light and look under the shroud. Dimples on the 09's are often associated with factory threading. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

EDIT: If I do cut the end of it off and find no threads, is it ok to leave it like that and still shoot it? Edited March 19, 2011 by ninja steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites

EDIT: If I do cut the end of it off and find no threads, is it ok to leave it like that and still shoot it? Yes, it will be fine. If you don't have threads after cutting, thread the barrel!!!!
