dugiskull 0 Posted March 31, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 (edited) yeah, he pressed off the FSB and gas block, i didnt want a new front sight base , i figured it was built with a it and i'll keep it on. why would i want to change it?? i used a lower handguard retainer from global trades, but unfortunately it didnt have a sling loop, so i cant use a sling. but i can prob always use the army way and attach sling with a little parachute cord. oh, and i used a vented hungarian gas tube.

NedPepper 0 Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 I noticed! I'm thinking about polishing my bolt too. I think I've decided to let my 1st Saiga's conversion end with the PG. I'll spend alittle more on it buying a buffer and a new lever. I bought this to be a truck gun and if I fancy it up too much I won't wanna throw it the truck! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KySoldier 2 Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 Yeah, I polished my bolt on me Maadi, looks cool...silver on black. Don't use blue remover, didn't do anything for me but expose me to cancerous fumes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
