       Question and AnswersQuestions By you ,    

          updated 7/ 31/08                      Answers by The President     

                                                     

Question:    I heard that you will be doing Saiga Conversions, is this true and when?                                                                               Answer  :   Yes, We are doing them now and they are available.

Question:  Do your rifles come with a scope mounts?                                                                                                                                         Answer:  All our rifles are available with a scope mounts as an option. I ran across this comment in one of the forums " No they dont come with a rail. Aparently they cant figure out how to install them yet!!!" I can assure you we have some idea what we are doing. If you purchased one of our rifles and are willing to pay the freight we will install one for you for a small fee.

Question:    Did you change the Russian Red and why?                                                                                                                             Answer  :   Yes, We went with a deeper finish that is beautiful. We also went with "pillow sanders" much more expensive but give a soft even finish to the wood. We always look for ways to improve our guns. some changes are obvious , like the wood, and others are not. If you really care about your tack ,your never really satisfied with the result. Never!

Question:   When I shoot my rifle the cover pops off. What now?                                                                                                                  Answer  :   The back of the cover is pushed in too far or the cover is not long enough, The cover should fit under the lip provided by the front sight block. send us a picture or the cover and we will take care of it.

Question:   I was told my rifle would take a month and it took almost two, Why?                                                                                     Answer  :   Could be a number of reasons, we only use one type of receiver and they can not always supply us when we need them. Everything else we do in house so the culprit might be random Military orders that take precedence . We also supply guns to security companies that always seem to need them immediately.

Question:   I read in your site that your Saiga conversions have a bullet guide, I don't have one in my Saiga and it works great!                    Answer  :   Yes , we install the original bullet guide so standard AK magazines can be used in the gun. If you check a Saiga magazine against a standard AK mag, you will notice that the Saiga mag is  higher at the bullet discharge end. This is a kind of poor mans bullet guide. The standard guide provides a better ramp and allows the use of standard magazines. The SAIGA front trunion has to be milled and the original part installed. More work, but worth the time.

Question:   Your web site is amateurish! Contact our office and we can give you something to be proud of!                                              Answer  :   I suppose our web site is lacking in some respects, However, it was started by a very good friend of mine, on his own time, and he has added to it ever since. I think that's more then enough to be proud of.


 We get emails and calls praising our guns, please understand that I appreciate the praise but I won't post them here. I want this section to inform by providing, raw facts, straight talk, and real solutions. We learn by doing, and avoiding criticism never fixed anything

If you care to share your questions or comments, please email us at lancasterc@qwestoffice.net . We will try and post the most informative  questions and comments , regardless of what light it puts us in. We will post new entries every week or so depending on time and pertinent material.             

 Thanks
