Hi,
I got a Saiga not too long ago and have been reading on this site some to get some info. I've learned a lot already. I already converted the rifle to accept hi-cap magazines. Instead of installing a feed ramp like people here have done, I simply used a welder to fill in the front part of the ak style mags where they have the notch at. It was a whole lot cheaper than buying a feed ramp, and didn't have to modify the rifle. Plus it works good.
Anyways, heres the question. When i got the rifle it had a scope on it. The mount is one of the ones that replaces the dust cover over the receiver instead of clamping onto the side mounts. Is that worth keeping? I think i am going to get a side mount style one so that I can field strip the gun without messing up the scope's zero. Whats the best type/brand/source to get?
