josey88 21 Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Sagt Raven , is that MI scope mount centered or off side to the left ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mancat 2,368 Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 don't take this is a criticism because it's really a constructive compliment.. that gun would be so much better looking if you would get rid of that fuglystick and go with something else.

SgtRaven 531 Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 (edited) Sagt Raven , is that MI scope mount centered or off side to the left ? It's dead-centered. I'll make another shot from the top. It's also the lowest scope mount I ever encountered. I'm still getting used to its locking lever (I prefer Russian flip-type) and doubtful it's best one for SHTF "scope drop". I might go back to AK OEM style and eyeballing RS' equivalent (N/A at the time of purchasing MI). don't take this is a criticism because it's really a constructive compliment.. that gun would be so much better looking if you would get rid of that fuglystick and go with something else. Mancat, we're well beyond the "hurting the feelings" tap dancing. I respect and appreciate your opinion, Brother. Really mean it. Keep chiming in. P.S. It takes a minute to remove Fuglystick; out of curiosity: what would you suggest for replacement? Also, at less then 4 Oz in weight difference, Fuglystick beats Saiga's (and so AK's) OEM HG in functionality. That's a main reason of me clinging to it. AKAR was more of the DMR for me, instead of true classic AK and its "storming rifle" ("штурмовая винтовка") designation. I've had plenty of latter ones, and was always wanted something different. Therefore, my "AKAR" project and its derivatives is all about the "universal platform". (Disclaimer: I do not exclude the possibility of being delusional on the subject; but it's a Free Country after all). Thank you all for feedback! Edited January 13, 2013 by Sgt.

SamM 12 Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Might as well post mine. I got the gun in mid October for $540, including all tax, shipping ffl etc... It was in sporter config of course, so I bought an TAPCO Intrafuse Vertical Grip for $19.99; TAPCO Saiga Collapsible Intrafuse T6 Stock pistol grip for $62.99; Saiga Quad Rail System for $54.99. Plus 4 SGM Surefire mags, 2 couplers and a sling. No I didn't move the trigger assembly forward, though I'd love to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pyzik 597 Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 (edited) A friend kept telling me I need wood, so I found some Wasr wood for $5 locally and beat it up & threw it on. The ol' lady was not as impressed as I thought she would be with her name carved in... PS. Wasr wood is shit. Edited January 21, 2013 by Pyzik 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It is made specifically for Saigas and has the SVD type locking lever(which I very much prefer to the AK type) but modified by K-VAR for Saigas . It allows the take off scope as many times as I want ,always back to zero . Check that one before buying anything else . Edited January 15, 2013 by josey88 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ZA_Survivalist 7 Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 My "newborn" .223 Saiga "as-received" with built-in AR magazine well and LRBHO by Definitive Arms, Tapco stock and PG and "bird cage". Not pictured: Leatherwood CMR 1-4x red dot is idling, awaiting MI 30mm AK scope. Planning to put extended Fuglystick vented handguard (3G-style), Hogue PG and likely ACE Skeleton stock. Darn you, I'm green with envy!!! I sold my Saiga .223 about 2-3 years ago.. Had I known something like this was going to be out I would have held onto her! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

vinni83 148 Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 (edited) I apologize for my English. I'm still learning. Yes. We have less problems with it. Since the plant can be ordered a good barrel, and manual assembly. Although some elements of tuning find difficult.Butt for example. With this sight and butt Saiga copies ergonomics SVD-S. must be nice to be able to have them the way they were supposed to be, without all the extra work of doing it yourself. nice Saiga Edited February 11, 2013 by vinni83 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pyzik 597 Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Hello Guys. This is my Saiga Mk 223 (AK-101-1) [img=http://forum.guns.ru/forums/icons/forum_pictures/006687/6687317 . jpg] Sight: PO 4x24 (NOVOSIBIRSK INSTRUMENT-MAKING PLANT) Handguard: UTG # 479 Pistol grip: AG-74 PRO (with a set of tools) Buttstock: Magpul CTR (Mil-Spec) & Vltor Aluminum Tube With best wishes from Russia. May I ask why you chose .223?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vinni83 148 Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Do not quite understand the first part of the question ...Considered that in Russia, people can not have a tactical weapon -? These are standard magazine by Saiga . Made by Izhmash .Very high quality. Do not lead to delays. Better than Tapko example. In comparison with the standard magazine 5.45 from Ak-74 there goes everybody saying that russian keep there guns not "tactical" can we see more pictures of that magazine?

vinni83 148 Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 May I ask why you chose .223?? Yes of course. I am happy to answer any questions. I need to learn English. The debate about what caliber Saiga the best, very popular in russian guns forums. We joke - Orthodox vs Catholics = 7.62*39 vs 223 Rem. I like the 223, it is easy and accurate. Almost no recoil. Many good manufacturers make such cartridges. AK 47/74 (7.62 / 5.45) in the event of war, I will receive from the state. Have a stockpile of weapons chambered for "potential enemy" in case of a guerrilla war always a pleasure. Joke. Rather, we will fight with the Chinese. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
