geepelton 105 Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 The retaining plate is used to keep your axis pins from falling out. Did you use a shepards crook instead? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

poolingmyignorance 2,191 Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 Whoever says they're cheesy has never fired one or doesn't have the brains to convert one. I love my Saiga shotties and will have no second thoughts buying a rifle. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pjj342 632 Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 When I bought mine, I showed my dad. He said WHY THE HELL DID YOU GET THAT?! He shot it this weekend after some prodding, and he loved it and went on to say it was the most comfortable rifle hed ever fired. off topic but true. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
leadslinger 37 Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 glad you were able to get thos pins out after using the lock tite. I can't say enough of about how much fun these rifles are. watch out as they can become addicting. i started with the 7.62 then sold my .308 to get a S12 then sold my s20 gauge to get the .223. Now if i had the money i would have kept the others as well. I shoot these all the time. along with my 10/22. do more research on this site and you tube on how to strip clean etc. it will be a big help. here is another good place to get info. http://firearms.atactv.com/index.cfm?event=home.index&tab=categories&categoryId=247 http://firearms.atactv.com/ check out the ak armoers programs and the becnh cleaning and the test and eval hell check them all out its packed with good info.

swizzle 0 Posted June 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 ar's are cool but i love my 7.62 way better nothing cheesy about it to me.. i love the way it shoots and goes through all ammo with ease out of close to 4 thousand rounds and still no misfires or jams.. next is the shotgun!!
