Default 308 Conversion DVD

Hey all,
Does anyone know of a dvd that's out there with detailed instructions on converting a 308?
Also, for those who have scopes on their 308, is it better to have a side scope or on top? Can you recommend a rail for my hand guard too?
Thanks,
Saigaman

I finally decided to do something with the .308 Saiga.


















The Safety Check
There were some questions posed if my retrofit was safe.
The following photos and video should confirm it is.
Others have had a problem of: with the safety on pull the trigger, when they released the safety, the hammer fell on the firing pin.
As you can see from the video. that will not happen on this Saiga.
The surfaces were stoned, then polished to 800 grit.
The trigger has no problem returning under spring pressure.


800 grit polish

The range and target




147 gr mil surplus
Got to tighten the cam lock on the mount. Then I’ll try it again

Scope fix


















After the Scope fix

That hit up and to the left is from another group.
I'm a cheap ass when it comes to targets LOL








I’m going to try 168 gr HPBT next
