Pictures of AK's

Recommended Posts

Not completely sure what im trying to do yet, just like to have options. I just bought the utg rail as a spur of the moment buy while i was at the store. I was thinking about getting a midwest industries rail system. Anyone know the quality of them?

 

I have had rails on my AKs and found them clumsy and awkward..

I use an ultimak gas tube with rail.. lets me mount a red dot and a flashlight...

 

I have personally found anything more than that overly heavy and slow..

Finished the conversion on my Saiga 7.62x39 last week and finally got to the range with it today. Only issue I came home with was the trigger not always returning fully. On about half of the shots I fired I had to click the trigger back slightly. Anyone have any ideas what may be causing this? I used the Tapco G2 single hook. Other than that it worked great and I am very happy with it. The conversion was not hard at all. I just took my time and had patience. I followed the videos on CarolinaShooterSupply and a watched a few others on youtube. Also used this site http://www.cross-con...iga_Conversion/ as well as the search feature on the Saiga Forum. All the info you need to do this is out there if you look. I saw a basic converted Saiga in a store when I first started looking at them and I felt the price was pretty high. I ended up building it exactly as I WANTED and did it for about $150 less. At the time I was told it would cost alot more than that to build my own but I can now say it did not. In fact I can put that money towards about 750 rds.

Waiting in the new kvor handgaurd and retainer to come to sight her in. Only compliant is that the Burris has no co witness. Unless the rear sight is pushed upto number 3 or higher. She is a blast to shoot though!!!

Here is my Saiga 7.62. It started off as a plain Jane CAI convert. Ordered a few goodies, did some work with the Dremel, and here's how she sits. Looking at having the fsb cut and a slant brake installed. (Any suggestions?)

 

-Chaos quad rail

-Ace 7.5" stock

-CSS internal block stock adaptor

-Tapco saw grip

-Tromix bolt on charging handle

-Tapco 15rd Saiga mag (modded to work with bullet guide)

No I haven't

 

I was planning on sending my bolt out for polishing, maybe to this guy: http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?/topic/61900-paulys-glassbolt-reliability-resistance-reduction-system/

 

I think that might cure that issue as well, I need to read more about it

I actually prefer the polymer SGM 15-round magazines in the Saiga. The 20->15 AK magazines are alright, no complaints. The 30->15 round AK magazines are a waste of space and make it diffiicult to shoot the rifle from the ground without a bipod

 

I think a lot of us have the bullet guide and a slightly shaved catch so we can use both AK and Saiga magazines
