Darth AkSarBen 20 Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 Saiga .223 with Tapco T6 stock and Intrafuse forearm, rubber rail covers for bottom and side to cover up the unused rails. Side mount 1" light holder with a 86 lumens Scorpion 6 volt light. Just push the button with your thumb when holding the rifle and you get instant "quick" light. Push it in to click and light is on constant. Tapco G2 FCG, and Sure Fire 30 rnd magazine. Side mount scope mount has rail on top and at a 45' on the side. Tuff Force is the mfg. Just clamps right onto the mount on the side. I can still remove the dust cover for cleaning. Nice looking pair, Sarge!! Now you need to get a .308 and make it a triplet.. *grin* Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Second, what model of ERGO grip is that? Third, where can I get a cheek riser like that? Fourth, what kind of side mount is that? Fifth, where's your buttstock latch at?

johnnyrebelyall 0 Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 the latch is internal the stock and riser are russian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AEnemaBay 3 Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 the latch is internal the stock and riser are russian What do you mean the latch is internal? The latch should be sticking out of the square hole in the receiver since he has the pin going through the receiver and into the trunnion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GIJeff 0 Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 Heya Peeps, Bought the Saiga .223 from Paul Youngquist, fully satisfied with the purchase. I got the skeletonized stock, or the "dragunov style stock" which I love to death. No plans to convert to a pistol grip configuration. I like the trigger fine the way it is, it's a bit creepy in the first stage, but once the sear is engaged it's crisp like few other rifles I've owned. I added a UTG 978 side scope mount, Tried my red dot sight on it and that was nice but I wanted magnification and didn't want to absolutely have to rely on batteries. Bought an NC-Star 3-9X42 scope, compact rubber armored, rangefinder reticle, blue illuminated, bullet drop compensator, integral laser sight for$ 155.00 off of Ebay. Nice scope. Then I put the Galil style foregrip on for 922r compliance when I use the Surefire 30 round magazines I also purchased. I also wanted better cooling. The stock foregrip is kinda nice looking but holds ALL the heat in, there's no vents, and both sides clamp tight against the gas tube. The Galil grip leaves PLENTY of room around the barrel and tube and is open topped. Also ordered the DPH two piece ak74 style muzzle brake, that doesn't index perfectly without a washer and is a bit loose if you don't screw it all the way against the barrel. In addition it can get a bit off kilter if it's not locked down. I tried various washers and finally settled on a fibrous plasticized washer typically used in sinks and garden hoses I believe, just had it laying around. Not entirely sure if it will stand the heat, but it indexes the threads perfectly and can be clamped down tight for the proper orientation on the muzzle brake. So here's the pic.

hallmars 0 Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 the rifle have calmer cycle with lightened moving parts, for IPSC itś importantlightened by milling cutter in action: Long time lurker, first time poster, complete noob to AK's (just giving y'all fair warning): I'm wondering if this would work with an AK shooting the 7.62x39. Would it help? Or would the difference be negligible? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
iteachsurfing 50 Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Conversion Looks clean! Sorry for my ignorance, but what kind of Mags are those? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Darth AkSarBen 20 Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 I used a dremel cut off wheel and cut my BHO to a shorter length. It "almost" fits flush when the bolt is held back. It sticks down a lot less noticable now as I did not like the feel of it on my finger. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
