Saiga 7.62 Conversion Part IV (Assembly)

[EddieMaine]

though*

[EddieMaine]

I like that you have the instructional videos from CSS up as you do this. Haha. Good videos thought, and CSS is my favorite place to buy Saiga parts. Also I LOVE the Saiga. Part because it's a true Russian rifle and by Izmash to boot, and I'm a nerd about that stuff. Also my Saiga 7.62 was my first gun 6 years ago. ( I was 14 then) haha.

[superhammerham]

"Where's my freakin hammer" haha...I love it. Can I get that on a tee shirt PLEASE! Great video Fred.

[gearjoker]

Fred, Thank you so much for taking all the time and extra effort to film this conversion. I know it made it much more difficult, but it was a great learning experience for me, and I'm sure it was for many others. Have you shot it yet? How's it shoot?

[Longeno55]

Whew! It was a long video and very "real" but well worth it - nice job!

[Longeno55]

Nice series of "how to" videos Fred. Hope you guys had a great Christmas and have a healthy and prosperous New Year!

[peden33]

Good job Fred. Way to keep your cool. Very informative.

[GeoN0JRJ]

Fred, Don't worry man. Your videos are always great and informative. That turned out to be one bad ass looking rifle at the end. Much better than the stock import version. Happy New year buddy!

[fredhart]

@GeoN0JRJ Thank you so much and 73 my friend.

[YouFillMyDreams]

[TruthBeTold2K]

I hate it when my crack torch goes out too.

[plumberjoe80]

@Fredhart. Looks great buddy. I really liked watching this gun come together.

[semiautoriflelover1]

You should work for Century Arms, I bet you would be head gunsmith in a week since you do a great job. That company needs all the help they can get.

[NIKON777]

[URBANAMERICANTAC]

[fredhart]

@URBANAMERICANTAC I'm glad you are finding this worth it, I'd hate to think I'm wasting my time. Merry Christmas my friend.

And people wan't to take them away from us. Its not about fighting people, or hurting people. Its about making fond memories, about being able to have something that is useful, something that will last a lifetime, and being able to pass those memories down the line. I saw the look, and joy you expressed in the building of that. Cheers enjoy your not Dr.Pepper.

[The138Monster]

Looks great, good job Fred.

[biguy525]

Great video. Very informative with excellent detail. Good job Fred. Is that a ten round magazine in the gun?

[fredhart]

@biguy525 Yes it is, I may get a couple of 20 round mags once I install the bullet guide in the future.

[justanoob2835]

Nice series and great looking rifle. Thanks for all your work.

[fredhart]

@justanoob2835 Thank you for stopping by and commenting!

-chris

[fredhart]

[The1911Channel]

[fredhart]

@The1911Channel shhhhhh, it's a secret :)

[mcrafton89]

Good job on the video,Will be big help And Thanks for your time.

[fredhart]

@mcrafton89 Thank you so much for the very kind comment!

[CIarcher18]

What gun vise is that? Great job!

[fredhart]

@CIarcher18 It was just a bench rest, I wanted to show that this could be done without a vise for those who do not have one.

[RookCAF]

Nice Job Fred. Looks good!

[fredhart]

@RookCAF Thank you very much!

[INTOGUNS1]

Thats one BADASS ak I like the od green.

[fredhart]

@INTOGUNS1 I always wanted to do something in OD green, it is one of my favorite colors :)

[VioletAlloys]

Great videos Fred. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[INTOGUNS1]

Wow duracaot must not be very strong. It looks like it scratched the side a little bit. I was gonna duracoat my Kimber but was worried about the strength.

[fredhart]

@INTOGUNS1 AKs will always get a scratch there no mater what finish you use.

[usmccapdevil]

Its always funner to build it yourself

[fredhart]

@usmccapdevil It sure is!!!

[HanoiRocks33]

@usmccapdevil "funner" isn't a word.

[usmccapdevil]

@HanoiRocks33 Hell ya it is ..urbandictionary

Huntin dem ducks is funner den fuckin em!!

[TheJmac1983]

next is threading the muzzle its not that hard to do my buddy just did it is it cool if I put a vid response to this vid on my saiga conversion?

[fredhart]

@TheJmac1983 I would be happy to accept the video response!!!

[efrol1]

best video series of saiga conversion! Great job !

[fredhart]

@efrol1 Thank you so much!!!

[MrWallaberry]

Do you do online gaming? Only reason I ask is because you have a gaming mouse. Sweet video!

[fredhart]

@MrWallaberry Sorry, I don't game much but I love the mouse!!!

[paintballdude902]

we just modified the original trigger guard for the 5.45 i did. shoot me a pm is u have any questions

[Mrcaffinebean]

Great work! Can it take regular capacity mags?

[metalhead2508]

@Mrcaffinebean Looks like it will.

[HammeredAndHorny]

@Mrcaffinebean They will, but some require you to take off some of the metal on the mag catch. It's simple. If you're lucky, it'll just fit, but if not, it takes 3 minutes to do.

[fredhart]

@Mrcaffinebean Not until I install the bullet guide sometime in the future.

[fredhart]

@InspectorSnatch Merry Christmas to you and your family!!!

[samba379]

nice job Fred looks great

[fredhart]

@samba379 Thank you so very much!

[isamtator]

Young, man that better be Dr.Pepper in that cup.

[fredhart]

@isamtator Nope :)

[isamtator]

@fredhart I tried to watch this video but every time I got to the placing of the last screw of the trigger guard, I got cut off and it would not continue, and so I am trying to watch it again . I don't have one of those guns, but I'm currently putting myself through, gunsmith courses through Penn and Foster.

[ammohead73]

Great job Fred.If I ever decide to do this,I'll know where to go for the videos.Thumbs up bro!!!

[fredhart]

@ammohead73 Thank you very much my friend!!!

[mark16443]

it looks really good are you going to do the front end later on and add a muzzle break or leave it the way it is? great job and hope you enjoy shooting it!

[fredhart]

@mark16443 I don't think I will be putting a muzzle break on it anytime soon. My next project will be installing the bullet guide so I can use standard AK mags.

[NIKON777]

excellent job Fred. That turned out awesome.

[fredhart]

@NIKON777 Thank you so much, that means a lot to me coming from you!!!
