mancat 2,368 Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Pyzik do you have the lower retaining bracket for your Beryl stock? I would suggest you pick one up from Robert RTG - it makes the stock WAY more solid. Only about $15. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pyzik 597 Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 No, I don't.I was just on RTG earlier looking for a threaded FSB. I'll check if they (the retaining bracket) is in stock and toss one in the cart.Thanks for the heads up! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jmeck 12 Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 New furniture, working on lightening up the rifle a bit. 7 pounds 14 ounces current weight, might get rid of the 3 point sling as it weighs almost 8 ounces! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mancat 2,368 Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 when you start talking about getting rid of the sling to lighten up the rifle, I think you have it about as light as it needs to get Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jmeck 12 Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 when you start talking about getting rid of the sling to lighten up the rifle, I think you have it about as light as it needs to get LOL, I didn't mean no sling at all. Just something lighter, and simpler . When I bought the 3 point sling I thought it was something I was going to need but a standard adjustable sling should do just fine.

mrwiggles2004 15 Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 I've been working on getting the weight down on mine as well. I'm at 7.25 lbs without the light and 7.5 lbs with the light and no mag. Considering going the 14.5" route and removing the side rail, I just need to man up and do it. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mrwiggles2004 15 Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 mrwiggles2004, who threaded your barrel? I threaded it myself to 1/2x28 with a die and thread alignment tool from CNCW. Very nice looking rifle. When you do a booster FSB setup like that to get to 16" OAL are you required to weld the FSB on as well or is pinning acceptable so long as the flash hider is welded in place? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mancat 2,368 Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 (edited) ATF regs require either 4x offset tack welds, circumference weld, silver solder, or a blind pin - that is, a pin that is installed and then welded shut, requiring the pin be drilled out rather than removed. Some get around the "blind pin" trickery by installing a long threaded set screw as the "pin," then welding over it - this way you can drill out the small weld and remove the threaded "pin" without destroying anything. I can;t answer for him as to what he did, but it's very easy and legal to throw a false booster on and leave the barrel at 16" - I've thought about doing it on one of mine, but I prefer having a functional muzzle device. A bare 16" bbl in .223 flashes too much with most commercial ammo.. This is how a lot of the short-carbine 10x series rifles have been imported.

lumberman 116 Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 (edited) First build. Finally got around to showing her off. She's an '09 with a 20" (.591) barrel. I'm going to thread the barrel next when I can figure out what to put on the end of it. Edited September 27, 2014 by lumberman Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lumberman 116 Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 pretty sure that Promag you have in there is for 5.45 Bought them new. Label in the clamshell says .223 Saiga. No problems with them yet. Still prefer the Surefires, regardless. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
