VladTepes 160 Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 The problem with the most recent posts is not what has been correctly pointed out about 922r but HOW. Saigafun you indeed have proven yourself an ass, as you claim you have a right to, but that also leads to certain consequences. Your inflammatory response shows no tact, and a disrespect for other forum members, especially a guy with less than a dozen posts. Take an example from DamagedWorld, who conveyed the same information in a noninsulting and more neutral tone. This repugnant attitude does nothing towards advancing the growth or perception of this forum. 12345 take a vacation. Thanks man... I mean i simply posted a pic, excited about my fresh-out-the-box gun, hoping to get some congrats and maybe some useful info, and i fuckin get flamed to hell. I'm not gonna completely leave the forums because of that ass, but I sure as hell won't be on here as much. p.s. I have removed the clip THAT CAME WITH THE GUN until I get it in compliance. Yeesh. Ill even remove the old pic if I have to. as much as you fail to realize it at this point.. we gave you VERY useful information.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

justinmcmillion 77 Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Congratulations on your saiga purchase Punisher, What are your plans for the little russian beauty? btw mine came with a 30rd mag as well and I asked the guy I bought it off of if he knew he was breaking the law and he just looked at me like an Idiot haha I had about 6 assault riffles before Id even heard of 922, It wasnt untill I started reading on this forum on how to convert my S12 But if you have any questions feel free to PM me, I dont post alot on this forum but Ive converted a handfull of Saigas and Own around 10 Kalashnikovs so I have a pretty good knowledge base and I do all of My own Gunsmithing. So once again congrats and welcome (to at least the saiga owners club if not this forum) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lakedweller 10 Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 (edited) Punisher Let this all roll of your back. Now you know, never heard of 922r till I bought my first Saiga. This site will teach you how and why. But there are a few that know everything and are not too shy to step on people as they show their wares. Read and learn and the only stupid question is one that is not asked..... I thought this thread was for pictures only NOT discussion. Instead of public humiliation I think this could have been taken care in in a PM..... Maybe new members ought to be directed to "Saiga 922r Compliance / THE LAW" as soon as they sign up ?.?.?.?.?.

Paladin_Hammer 8 Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 (edited) While I agree wholehartedly with Tritiums comments and actions above... let me address the rest of what has been posted the past few posts... Regardless of the length of time the magazine is inserted in the firearm, a crime is being comitted. If I cut my shotgun barrel down to 15 inches with the intent of welding on a muzzle device in just a few moments it makes ZERO DIFFERENCE!!! The short barreled shotgun was created, and it is ILLEGAL TO MANUFACTURE a normal length shotgun from a SBS!!! The laws are the laws regardless of how long the crime was comitted for... If I go into a bank and only try to rob it for the length of time it takes someone to take a picture... was I still comitting attempted robbery?!?!?! IF you people CANNOT ACCEPT that we frown upon blatant violations of the laws posted as images, by all means go back to he high road, or KC Guntrader fourms... We do not need you here. Yes, Paladinhammer, I am talking about YOU. If you cannot abide by our forum policies, by all means, feel free to not show up here anymore... If cutting off one inch means committing a crime, then how come all the guys who cut their Mini-14's down to 13 inches and then weld a flash hinder onto it to give the legal 16 inch length aren't getting in trouble? Check out Perfectunion, those guys have been doing that for years and not getting in any trouble, even cops post there and don't have a problem with it so long as the firearms are not used whilst in their evolutionary state. And I'm not advocating the breaking of the law, I'm just saying that you should give our boys in blue a little more credit, they do have the capacity for reason and intellect. For the record, there is no way you could rob a bank in the time it takes to take a picture . There is a wealth of great info here so don't up up the ship.The gentleman here will help with all your questions and steer you in the right direction. Fact is, the internet is wide open and you have to sift out the good from the bad. On this site there is more good than bad. Sometimes I'd say you were trying to pull a fast one on me. Between guys and galls giving new members hell for not converting their rifles ten seconds after it was bought, and others who seek to do nothing but humiliate people for not converting their rifles but rather leaving them stock or using a stock/pistol grip combo unit, the Saiga forums are a far cry from KTOG, PU, THR, SKSboards (and they use the ban button like I use my trigger finger), gunboards, thefiringline, 7.62x54r.net, surplusrifleforum, and sometimes I even wonder if AR-15 and all their bullshit is better than the treatment some people get around here. No, I'm not speaking on my behalf. I'm speaking for every guy who posted his rifle without any mods or hi-cap magazines. Who's rifles were called "ugly", every guy who used a pistol grip stock and US parts and was called a "newbie", "wannabe", or just generally mocked. And including guys like Punisher who was just made aware of the law and treated like dirt before anyone even said "whoa, hold up man, 922 states you need to have a few American-made parts before you can use that 30 round magazine. Maybe use a US made gas piston? They're 19.99 from Power Custom". People didn't even wait to ask if he had maybe installed a US made gas piston and if his magazine was an American Surefire or Progmag, which given the 3 parts in the magazine and one part for the piston would make that setup legal. That's how I configured mine. Tell me would I treated like dog shit if I posted my Saiga? It looks stock, but it's got enough US parts to be legal with its thirties.

IndyArms 10,186 Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Tell me would I treated like dog shit if I posted my Saiga? Absolutely not... everyone here would treat you like that regardless!!! LOL HAHAHAHA :haha: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Impartial 2 Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 everyone is pretty hyped up about that federal gun law 922 bs ... don't you guys know that gun control is a crime in itself? haha seriously though ... take it easy ... admin shoulda just removed the pic and pm'd the poster but instead you guys leave evidence laying around haha ...

kresk 10,063 Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 ... admin shoulda just removed the pic and pm'd the poster but instead you guys leave evidence laying around haha ... Believe it or not there may or may not be a moderator on the forum 24/7. When I became aware there were already numerous posts subsequent to the pic being posted. Could all this be wiped out? Maybe, but personally I feel the two lessons learned by leaving it here (1- 922r info; 2- don't be an asshole) outweigh burying the posts. Why wouldn't the first member who noted the pic just PM the poster himself instead of being a jerk? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Impartial 2 Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 eh .. good point ... lets stop talking about it and post more pics to express our 2nd amendment rights (that of course comply with federal law 922r regulating the configuration of imported semi automatic assault weapons as previously mentioned). Ahhhh freedom ... as prescribed by our benevolent leaders in washington in small doses. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Howdy from Texas! Mad Rat's version of "Come and Take it!" attitude and Second Amendment rights!! See "Saiga on a budget" post for the specifics. Now, If I could only decide.....if i had to grab just one gun and go, which would it be? .....hmmmm...which is my favorite? .....hmmmm.......maybe the wife could grab the .30 carbine!! PS Laser has since been mounted to scope with .22 Weaver mount. It stuck out too far to carry with sling. Mad Rat, USAF (Ret.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brickvader 3 Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 My sh*t creek paddle. Complete with all the tapco goodies. Converting was a breeze for the most part. Really enjoyed this one. Its my first time owning a saiga. Shoots and handles like a dream. Didn't care for the feel of the handguard so I roughed her up a little and it came out good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lakedweller 10 Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 (edited) Still quite a bit cheaper than a stock AR15 and a lot nicer looking...... Looks very functional......

Darth AkSarBen 20 Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 (edited) I bought a SureFire 30 rd magazine the other day at On Target, along with a side mount dual rail scope mount. The SureFire says "Made in U.S.A." but it is illegal to use it? Is not a USA made magazine, with floor plate, follower, and body counted as 3 replacement US parts? That would replace 3 Russian made parts, correct? Edited June 23, 2009 by Darth AkSarBen Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Darth AkSarBen 20 Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 Nothing fancy, but it's an EAA import and seems to shoot pretty tight groups.
