What's the current situation like with owning firearms, are all semi autos rimfire? What are things looking like in the future?



As long as the rifle is not selfloading/ejecting (excluding.22LR can be owned in semi auto) we can have anything with a good reason  like 'target shooting' with no mag restrictions. have a look at this link for more details

My recent purchase was another 'battle proven' rifle of course 'butchered' again by the Steyr factory for single shoot operation.....

My converted Saiga 308:

It really was an easy conversion. Had to use a spare AKM(Romanian) selector switch, though. US made FCG, pistol grip, butt-stock(TAPCO temporary), and magazine.

My saiga Pistol grip conversion done!  I have a new Russian mistress, and she is a beauty. She  also shoots sub 2 MOA with Barnaul ammo and iron sights!

I got finally got it done, despite the right arm in  a sling.

Saiga .223 16" barrel:

KVAR US trigger
KVAR US Warsaw Stock
KVAR US AK 47 pistol grip
Tapco Saiga specific Galil US hand guard
US M16A1 flash hider
US Surefire and ProMag Saiga specific magazines (3 US parts each)

Re-used Saiga hammer, Saiga disconnector and spring, Saiga trigger guard, Saiga hammer/trigger pin retention spring (only used one of the aluminum cross spacers screws? and plug back holes, and trimmed down bolt hold open device (WHAT A PAIN IN THE BUTT! Thank goodness for who ever came up with the dental floss idea!).

Hardest part: Drilling the front trigger guard weld! Must be melted down German tank steel, as someone already suggested!

It is soooooo sweeeeeeet!  I still need to get a shepherd's crook pin retainer to loose the aluminum cross screw and Saiga factor pin retention spring.






:D

You can use 7/32" E-Clips to hold the hammer and trigger pins in place. That's what I used. I could even get 3/16" clips on some of my rifles pins. A heck of a lot easier to install than the Sheppard's hook spring.
