Meanest looking AK - Page 5

billy · 08-11-2007, 07:40 AM

i paid $359 for the saiga.
i dont own a cetme.
if i didnt read about so many problems with them i would have bought one by now.
AK's dont have problems as a rule.
i dont like finicky guns.

if it doesnt shoot EVERY time i dont want it!

Neat!... Can't wait to see what you come up with there, tommy!

as soon as i bought the amd 65 i put a 30 round mag in it and you have to be carefull when you take it out cause you will ding up the front hand grip . i think thats why it had a few dings in it . i think thats why it was designed for the 20 round mags lucky i had bought 5 or them a few years ago they fit perfect in there .now a drum would be ideal for the amd too! but something has to be done about the hand grip i just hope i don't mess it up.i have a dremmel tool .lol i'll start something tonight .

I didnt know about problems with the cetme until after I owned it. I paid to much money for it also, but on the other hand I have had no problems with it at all. I like the look of your saiga, how accurate is it?

billy · 08-12-2007, 07:38 AM

i get 1 1/2 - 2 in. groups @ 100 yds. with paki milsurp

this is on another thread but it fits here too.
saiga after conversion so its legal to use 20 rnd. mags.

seighten · 08-15-2007, 10:35 PM

what kind of scope do you have mounted?
I had a cheap tapco red reticle scope never shot with it b/c some one offered me more than i paid for it.
have you tested how far you can shoot with the scope accuratley?

billy · 08-16-2007, 06:02 AM

that is a red field wide view 3x9x 40mm.
the farthest ive used it is 110m.

1.5 - 2 moa

Beer Forever · 08-16-2007, 09:08 AM

This is my AK, though not very mean looking.

A-10 · 08-17-2007, 08:20 PM

billy · 08-17-2007, 10:08 PM

I took 1000-2000 grit sandpaper to it for a while and then sealed it with boiled linseed oil. I do it to all my old mil surps, really cleans them up nice.

A-10 · 08-18-2007, 08:50 PM

I just used steel wool and tung oil for my mosin and it turned out allright.

Beer Forever · 08-19-2007, 07:41 PM

I use 0000 steel wool a lot, especially to clean off the fine little dirt grains. I thought about tung oil, maybe I'll give it a shot.

+1.

Good addition.

I'm hoping that in a few months, I'll have purchased and modded-out the AK-variant I want and be able to present it here for "judging".
