ctford27 0 Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 I have a saiga in .223 that i put a bullet guide in. Somehow i installed it off center in a round trunion and is canted pretty darn good. It must have slid when i marked it. Can i put some quik steel in the drilled hole and re-tap or am i just boned? I thought about just gluing it in place with the quik steel but i don't know if having it permanently installed would be a good thing or not. What should i do? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
canoecanoe 63 Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Can you drill a new hole and re-tap? Post some pics. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ctford27 0 Posted March 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 If I redrill, the holes will over lap. Its off by about 2mm. just enough to piss me off! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thebuns1 4,323 Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Can you see the hole you drilled when the guide is where you want it? If so, I would try and mod the guide to where you can use the current hole, and still have it centered with the chamber. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spacehog 2,218 Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Personally, I'd go with Captain's advice, but before you do, have you checked to see if it will cycle with the bullet guide canted? Actually the placement is pretty forgiving. I have FUBARed a couple in the past, only to find that they still got the job done. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jerry52 893 Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Does the gun cycle guy? I would shoot it, i do not think its going to give you a problem, If there is enought metal to support the round into the chamber thats all you need. Is this your first conversion?

thebuns1 4,323 Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 Try to get up a pic if you can, so we can see how bad it may or may not be, if you dont mind. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ctford27 0 Posted March 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 I've got a galil mag coming in the mail. We'll see how it works out with the canted guide. The beryl mags sits so high the bullet doesn't even contact the guide. if nothing else I'll just stick to them. I'll try to get a pic if i can. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
