Remember the saiga sporter? That was a fun project.

Recommended Posts

Remember the saiga sporter? That was a fun project. I had one and came out perfect and it was beautiful but affordable. I had sold it a long time ago and always regretted it. It was my very first rifle. Anything like the saiga in the u.s. market now a days? I would like to replace it.

I miss some of my Saigas... I think I built everyone but the 308... never had a single problem with any of them.. my favorite was the 5.56 Saiga that I converted to take AR mags... I think I regret selling that one. lol

I also love my Saiga! Mine is in 7.62x39 of course! I loved doing the conversion myself. What a difference in the look and the trigger pull and feel! 

Why not buy another Saiga Sporter? You can still find them if you look around a bit!

If I had one, I would probably keep it stock since it doesn't have a grip or flash hider, etc.   For me, that would have been the main reason to buy a Saiga.  I wonder what one duracoated looks like...

Does THIS mean we will see more Saigas?

Don't know about that.  If Russia doesn't want to play ball with Trump those sanctions will probably stay in place.

I still have a 308 and a 5.56 Saiga.  308 is unaltered and I only put a thumbhole type stock on the 5.56.

I would like to see saiga come back. These other affordable ak47 variants on market now have very mixed reviews. Saiga always had great reviews but still very affordable. It looks like if you want good ak variant you gotta spend big bucks, I'm not gonna spend big money on a an ak variant.

    • I very seriously doubt this has anything to do with terrorism.    1) Harbor pilots are VERY seriously vetted, and highly trained. Not to mention extremely well paid. My experience knowing a few of them, and knowing how they are recruited and screened tells me that there is a slim to highly unlikely chance that a harbor pilot would have participated in anything like that.    2) Maintenance of foreign flag ships is well known to be dubious. Especially these days. These were NOT US flag, Jones act sailors. It was (to my understanding) a largely Indian crew on that ship, with a Ukrainian Captain. Indian crews are not exactly known for being stellar.    3) The bunkers (fuel) these ships use is ‘Bunker C’, which is a heavy, dirty fuel oil that can, and usually is, pretty contaminated. This stuff ain’t your car grade gasoline or diesel fuel. It’s nasty.   It requires nearly constant filter changes and maintenance to the engine/generators. The ship took on fuel prior to departing port, which would stir up all kinds of shit in the fuel tanks, which would contribute to particulates in the fuel lines/filters.    4) I’d say the posting of the chief engineer for Maserek above was pretty spot on as far as chain of events.    This was a shitty accident, with horrible timing and outcome. Not a terror attack. 
    • I saw Lara's interview on Bannon's War Room, and that gave me pause for thought. Her conjecture depends primarily on the veracity of her sources. Regardless, if it's not applicable in any way to this ship disaster, the methods described seem valid to me. And worthy of consideration for the future. As I said before, IMO something is coming.
