Pistol grip and CA style external mag lock ok on shotgun in NJ? Thumbstock and external mag on shotgun ok in NJ?

I think I figured it out. This round cannot be a 7.62x39, it has to be a 223 or 556 round. I must have picked this round up off the floor or on the shooters bench and loaded it in my mag without realizing it and fired it out of my rifle. I compared the round to a 223/556 and that is what it looks like to me.

7.62x39 Before fired 75 rounds of 7.62x39 steel and then switched to this brass brand and fired at least 25 of it without issue Used needle nose to extract this one, which was protruding slightly from rear of barrel I went through the remaining boxes of this I have-4 and do need see a round with similar headstamp mark. Was not shooting anything else but this rifle and only had ammo for it with me.

Are there any plots available that show the trajectory of 7.62x 39 round at various distances when fired form a Saiga or similar weapon?

If i insert a laser bore sighter into the bore of the rifle and adjust the eotech so that the the laser bore sight beam and the dot on the eotech converge, will my rifle be correctly sighted on the target I am looking at?

The last annual report The AG filed that can be located on the web through the State Library is 2007 year filed in 2008 even though it is suppose to be filed each year with the legislature. The 2007 table shows a drastic drop in assault weapons used in crimes in the state and the majority of listings deal with them when the charge was in connection with a charge of possession for unlawful purpose as opposed to an assault weapons charge. If anyone has any reports from 2008-2010, post them.

It was fired out of a 7.62 Saiga. When it went off, it sounded like a small pop, not like a regular round. It did eject the bullet, I checked the bore thoroughly and it was clear with no visible damage.

Is the NK headstamp corrosive or non corrosive ammo? Any danger with corrosive ammo?

The headstamp on this round has these initials, each one appears in its own quadrant L C C the last one is hard to read and deformed. I opened a new box of it and notice that other rounds in the box have a headstamp that says NK and the year 1980. It looks to me like they mixed in some with a different headstamp and this is a new box I just opened. I am going to get rid of the rounds that have the L C C headstamp, maybe the brass is crap and the quality control is clearly absent.

Two weeks ago I purchased some brass 7.62 ammo from Sarco the ammo says:"15 Komaja, 7.62 MM Metak" It is not Russian and I forget what country it is from. I decided to try a few boxes because it was about $3.50 per box and it was brass, not steel core, but a FMJ type bullet. I would not recommend this ammo. One of the brass rounds fractured/split and I was luck the bullet made it out of the bore and I was able to extract the bullet with a pair of pliers from the bore, as it did not eject. There is no visible damage to the bore or the rifle. I am attaching the box the ammo came in and a picture of the split casing.

First, I reexamed the interior of the cover and noticed a very slight burr on the edge of the window, that was not apparent from the outside. I used the dremmel to get rid of it. Then I tried the exact method shown on the video, and could not get it to seat, then added PK90's suggested method of force and presto, it seated. I guess my cover is just one of them that is a tight fit and not as easy as yours. If it were not for your video post and PK90's suggestion and the other comments I would never have solved this problem and really appreciate the help. The instruction manual that comes with the rifle is marginally informative, but no where does it really explain how to get the cover back on in any intelligible way. I was also able to take off the screwed up bullet guide, screw by using a blow torch to apply heat and melt the locktight, then a very small drill bit to enlarge the elongated hole on the bullet guide screw so I could use a allen wrench to extract it, then blued the trunion,and the previously tapped screw hole to prevent rust and then installed the new guide and screw and got the modified saiga mag to feed. However, it doesn't seem to like the surfire mag, I modified it, but noticed that it likes the follower better on the saiga mag, so if I can find a saiga mag follower for .223, I am going to put it in the surfire body. I need some .223 mags I can modify. Dinzig website suggests Galil mags as the easiest to modify, what do you think? I have not seen any in 15 rounds. Any suggestions where to get some AK .223 mags that are 15 and that I can modify further to work with the bullet guide?

The issue is not dead. The case cert was denied in was a criminal not a civil case. The NJ Fed District Court Judge has not yet decided the issue, which of course, is a predicate to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit to here it. The Circuit Court decision will control the fate of the plaintiff's in that case, even if the US Supreme Court denies cert, in the NJ case, unless it decides another case in the interim which is inconsistent with the Third Circuit opinion; the NJ Supreme Court does not have to follow the Third Circuit Decision, but it will be persuasive in any subsequent State Appellate Court opinions. The denial of cert by the US Supreme Court carries no weight either way. There are other cases that will raise the issue that will come before the Supreme Court, but it will be up to them if they ever hear it. Eventually, the issue will get decided. Also, a Republican President and Republican Controlled Legislature-(it could happen) would go a long way to getting interstate carry reciprocity. That in and of itself, could cause pressure in NJ for right to carry reform.

I did not see any 15 round .223 mags on their website. Who carries the 15 round .223 mag that works with bullet guide or a 15 round .223 mag that can easily be modified to work with bullet guide. I have one surfire,plastic .223 that I modified, but they are expensive.

I will try the exact technique shown in the video tonight, it is different then the technique I employed when it went on. It looks very simple. Just to make sure the cover is ok,(it looks ok) I am going to take the cover off the new .223 I am almost done converting, (except for the bullet guide issue I removed the deformed bullet guide and a new bullet guide part is being delivered today, which I will screw in and see if i can get correct mag feed) and try it and see if it fits. Is the cover for the .223 the same as the cover for my 7.62? To the naked eye they look the same, except that the notch on the front of the .223 cover might be slightly different, maybe a tad smaller. On yours, does the back of the cover easily fit against the rear of the tang? On mine it does not seem to.

Tried your suggestions. No luck. It seems to me that the last horizontal bar at the bottom of the button is not making it through the window. What is happening is that the force of the button as it travels reward, following the application of downward force on the back part of the dust cover, is causing the front of the dust cover to come out of the sink hole the front fits into. However I took the spring and button out of the gun and it does fit inside the window and protrudes out. If I still cannot get it to seat by the end of the week, is there a group member anwhere who can look at it. I live in central Jersey. I just finished a conversion on a .223 all went well except I am having a problem with the bullet guide and cannot get the mags i modified to feed correctly-a saiga mag and a surfire. I am still working on that problem, so I have two issues. I may need to take off the bullet guide and put another one on because i am concerned that I took too much material off the bullet guide feed ramp in an attempt to polish it down. However, the 6/32 allen screw head is now beat up and i may have to use a screw extractor to get it out.

dam frustrating. Spent 1 hour on it, and followed the suggestions, except the bullet tip trick, which I will try tonight, stay tuned

Can't get the dust cover on the saiga 7.62. Had no problem until now. Did not bend or change it. I sink the front end in but I can't seem to get the button to pop through the housing. Very frustrating. Any tricks or suggestions?

How do I remove the gas tube on the Saiga 7.62. The instructions that came with the rifle are incomprehensible. The only thing I could figure out is to raise the lever near the handguard. I am not sure if I only need to raise it straight up or do I need to continue until it is parallel with the rilfe barel. Now what do I do next? I figure that after 6 months or so, I probably need to clean or wipe the tube down?
