  1. I had to wedge a screwdriver against the flat part to get mine off, but it does come off. And a regular swivel stud will fit it. I used the ones from my Mossberg 500 shot gun. Paul
  2. I am one of the weird people that does not really want a hi capicity mag for my gun. I was maybe thinking of taking the gun up north one day and hunting deer with it. I live in Michigan and you can only use centerfire rifles up north, shot guns and muzzleloader only where I live. The problem is my magazine holds too many rounds for it to be legal. I heard they make a five round clip for these guns and thought about buying one. Well yesterday I decided to do a little shooting in my back yard. I got some toys for christmas I wanted to play with. One a Bench Buddy, basically a cheap plastic b
  3. Yes, it seems to be a little better, actually quite a bit better than that first shooting experiance. If you read some of my other posts I talk more about it. I think most of it had to with me and the open sites. I have since put a scope on it and tried some different ammo, and want to try more to see what it likes. When it shoots well, it does pretty good. Other times it's just not real great. Again this could be me. I used to shoot really well when I was younger, I'm finding I am not nearly as steady any more. One day I will shoot it, it will group about 1 or 2 inches at 50 yards. Th
  4. The mossberg QD's should work, I just took the one out of mine and it screwed right into the nutsert on my remington stock. I would still check to make sure before you buy one though. I bought mine at wally world, I forget what it cost me, wasn't much though. A gun shop might work with you more as far opening up the packages to check them out. I have a few questions though. One, how do I get the front site off this thing? I was thinking of taking it off and having a muzzle break or flash supressor made for it. I tried to drive the pins out with a hammer and a punch, but they wouldn't budge
  5. I robbed them off other guns. I took the upper one off my remington muzzle loader, which is basically a 700 rifle stock. And the lower one off my mossberg shotgun, since it screws right into the stock. The one in the forearm has a nut, well sort of a nut, behind the stud. And the bottom one just screws into the plastic, like a course wood screw type. If I had to guess any machine threaded swivel stud would work on the front, providing they all have the same size threads. So you could get the quick disconnect stud set for a Mossberg shotgun and it should work. It has one machine threaded s
  6. Well here is an update on my Saiga incase anyone cares. I ended up getting a scope mount at the local shop where I purchased the rifle. It is the one with the rings built into it. It is made at the same factory the rifle is, for these rifles. It is imported by EAA with the rifles and has the same markings as the rifle. It seems to be built pretty well and fits the rail very good and tight. It has a pin on the mount and a hole in the lever. When you lock it down you have to pull the lever down a little and the pin slips in the hole. This locks the lever down, and there is know way for it back o
  7. I checked the ballistics of the two and they are pretty close like I figured they would be. With the 5.56 cartridge you have a slight edge, which would be expected since it is the bigger of the two both in caliber and cartridge length. It looks like the 5.45 is much harder to get ammo for, and you can pretty much forget about getting any kind hunting ammo that expands well for it. If it were me I would choose the 5.56. Much more practicle in the long run, but the 5.45 would be more authentic if that was what you were looking for. I personally would not spend that much money on a AK
  8. They make one in .223. How much of a difference is there between that and 5.45x39? They would both pretty much be a high powered .22 cal gun. I have never seen a 5.45x39 though, or have any idea how it compares to the .223 ballistically. Or is it just the idea behind it. You know, you want a gun in that chambering simply to have one. Nothing wrong with that I guess if you can afford it or desire it bad enough. I did a fair amount of research before I bought mine, and I am pretty sure they do not have Saiga in that chambering. I thought I read something somewhere that it may be an option at
  9. That is the exact scope I own. I also have a 4x16x50 AO on my .22 long rifle (catseye also). BSA makes some pretty run of the mill cheap crap like the rest of them, but for the money some of the better scopes are not bad. They have one line above these that costs a bit more, but I have not seen them. When I was looking for scopes I could not find anything that was much better until I got to the 300 dollar mark. Once you step into the 500 and up range like a ziess or something there is a very big difference in quality of optics, especially at higher powers. My buddy has a simmons 44 Mag that is
  10. After re-reading all the posts I do sort of see your point. The russian scope probably is a good deal when you consider how much the mount and scope together would cost. I am sure at least has optics as good as a simmons or BSA, especially the ones at wally world, hopefully better. My scope was 110 and the mount was 40 from a local shop. And mine is a bit over kill for this gun, 3.5x10x50 with an illuminated recticle. But with the harris bibod it looks bad ass. I didn't really get it to hunt with, just a toy pretty much. You can't hunt deer with a centerfire rifle where I live, I would hav
  11. When I said that was my opinion, I meant just that. I was not saying you were wrong and I was right. Hunting is a very individual sport where everyone has an opinion. I myself am curious about how nice these scopes are. From the pictures I have seen they don't look that great at all, again just an opinion. That does not mean they don't have decent optics, but how can you tell without actually looking thru one. If you want to order one without seeing it first be my guest, I don't want to risk it myself. Maybe if I see one at a gun show or something and like it I'll pick one up. If you re
  12. I would have to see one of those things to really believe it. I would not spend that kind of money on something sight unseen, especially on optics. and I can't see where having your scope sit off to one side would be that good for down range accuracy. And while those scopes and the recticles look cool, I would not want to hunt with one. A little too busy for my tastes. The range finder looks neat, but you really don't need it. The 7.62 shoots pretty flat out to 200 yards any way. Beyond that it really does not retain enough energy that I would feel comfortable taking deer sized game with i
  13. Any hard case that will accomidate a scoped rifle, or a double rifle case. Walmart, k-mart, or a local sporting goods chain should carry them fairly cheap. You can get better ones, but they are expensive. They are a little thougher, and look nicer, but if he isn't going to travel with it I would not waste the money. You should be able to get one for well under 50 bucks, that would be a nice one. If he has lots of accessories try the double rifle case, it will give him more room to put stuff in it, also some of these scope mounts are pretty high. A case for a regular scoped rifle may no
  14. I'm interested. It's a bit more than what I want to put into a $200 gun, but I could be persuaded. I am assuming it would move my hand closer to the trigger assembly. The way the rifle is set up now the length of pull is a bit long and my hand just kind of hangs out there behind the trigger guard. My shotgun is the same way. I looked at your pictures on the other site, I also like the none thumbhole version. Will they be the same price? I also see in the shotgun forum there is one simular to yours in wood, maybe it is yours I didn't pay attention to the names on the posts. Would it be poss
  15. Damn, I've had this gun for a whole 5 hours and I am already thinking about changing stuff on it! I still don't want to turn it into an AK or anything, just minor stuff. I already switched out the front swivel for QD type so I could use my Harris bipod. I will most likely just do the back the same way so I can use a quick detachable sling. I may do the Pistol grip mod also. The trigger is not as bad as I thought it would be, but it could be better for sure. Mainly I don't like the distance from the stock to the trigger, it is too long for my little hands. My shotgun is the same way. On the oth
