Awesomeness!!
AK's never jam, so you will go through a lot of ammo. Well OK, you will just plain ass go through the ammo. Have fun!! |

Thanks, I bought 500 rds of ammo to keep me busy for now. I was thinking about some type of red dot scope for it....

What's that little rectangle patch at the back of the receiver?

It was an etched patch of some sort to cover up the Russian American Armory engraving. I guess they got a big batch from Izhmash that were initially built for RAA. |

My Saiga had the patch as well. Some weird tape junk to cover up Russian American Armory Co, Scottsburg, IN

You are probably going to want to change out the stock they are pretty flimsy. I found it uncomfortable personally. I have a KVAR that I got a great deal on EE on mine.

I took it to the range today for the first time...wow it really throws the brass! I was a little high and left at 50 yards, mostly left at 100yds open sights. My group at 100yds was probably within six inches with open sights....I'm a little rusty and my eyes have a hard time focusing the front and rear sights these days...that's why I am thinking of the red dot optic! I really had a blast shooting the Saiga, I can see where this might get addicting! |

I really had a blast shooting the Saiga, I can see where this might get addicting! Honestly, not being familiar with converted Saigas, I'm not sure how you would go about getting a forward mount. I don't know how easy it is to swap out that front hand guard. I have a Bushnell TRS-25 forward mounted on my SGL with an Ultimak rail and it is one sweet set up. Best would be to try and shoot both set ups, if you know other people with AKs. THere are pluses and minuses to both set ups, which you can research on this site. ETA: pics of my SGL21 
I've thrown about 1500 rounds through so far and it has held zero throughout. Insanely fun to shoot especially knowing how cheap ammo is. |

Yeah, I like it a lot. It comes down to personal preference on where to mount the optic. Keep us posted!
