Sirex 34 Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 I am fairly new, mainly been lurking, but just got my Saiga 7.62x39 a big brother. A Saiga .308. I plan to keep them fairly stock for now, maybe doing the bullet guide conversion for the x39. I live in MD, and was very fortunate to get these both as unregulated rifles, not the evil "Regulated Assault Rifles" they are usually transferred as. As a regulated firearm they are subject to approval (or disapproval), longer wait, and more fees. In there stock sporter configuration they are, or should be regular long guns which can be sold by a dealer with the quick Federal check, or face to face with cash. Typically all Kalishnakov action rifles are sold as regulated here, even though the state police released a bulletin stating the differences. Anyways, I love the 7.62x39, hope to get the 308 out next weekend after I get some ammo. I name my rifles, like some others do evidently. Here is Ivan the Great (7.62x39) Here is Ivan the Terrible (308) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CPF 80 Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Those two men need to be converted 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sirex 34 Posted August 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 (edited) Those two men need to be converted I would agree, but 2 things prevent that; 1. Time + money = do not have 2. I am in MD, and being the guns are already black, they are very scarey. Put into an Ak configuration as opposed to the sporter configuration will have politicians spinning in their graves. I would likely be classified as a terrorist or gang banger. Just keeping it simple for now. Just the cost of .308 ammo is taking up most of my extra gun money. Maybe later on after I aquire parts I'll convert the x39 then maybe the .308. I took the x39 out to the range this weekend and forgot how much more felt recoil it has than my SKS. Still not as much as the Mosin though. Man I wish Saiga made a 54r rifle. Edited August 8, 2011 by Sirex Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sirex 34 Posted October 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 Done. took a while, and the S308 got sold, and a V308 took it's place. Still have a Saiga though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I am just frustrated it took this long to get it done. Hopefully yours is faster. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
