I have a Maadi ARM. . .Intrac import from 1995. Rifle is stock (still has thumbhole stock but I did refinish it and added a 1 inch butt pad for length even had a hole so could still use the trap door for cleaning kit). Added a side mount plate (thank you CCA they did a good job) and mounted a 1.5x6x44mm low light illuminated reticle scope and just love it to death. When I bought the gun came with 1 5 round clip and 4 30 rounders I also purchased some more (all imported eastern european steel mags). For some reason I had it in my head that I could use hicap mags without 922r issues as long as they were foreign made...now learned that is not the case so I need to convert it. . .it does have a threaded barrel with a cap tack welded on it... my question is this: If I use an american made pistol grip and stock (but use my current stock front grips)...remove the threaded muzzle cover add an american made compensator and a tapco trigger group that should take care of my compliance issues correct? Also any recommendations for getting these items here between Athens and Ktown

I wonder if they are lo-cap ak's

Since the Saiga is foreign made he should be able to use hi cap foreign made mags correct? Without any 922r issues

ammo seems to be coming down now I stocked up last year on 750 rounds of 9bple for $15.00 a box of 50 , 750 rounds of winclean for $10.00 a box of 50 and 1500 rounds of wolf 7.62 154 grain at about $4.25 per 20 wont need ammo for a while but Ive been watching the prices. . .even cheaper than dirt (I call them higher than hell) had the same 9bple right now for $19 and some change. . .its stabilizing

let no one fool you 7.62x39 for a mini 30 will not be cheaper than .223. . sure there is alot of steel cased 7.62x39 that is alot cheaper than .223 but the mini 30's do not like the steel cased berden primed cheap ammo

another option that hasnt been mentioned yet are the egyptian maadi's. . .theye were made on soviet equipment and are as close to a true russian ak 47 as you can get. . the maadi arm imported by intrac of knoxville is very good as well as the ones imported by pars international. . you have to be carefull though and not get one labeled as misr 90 or misr 10 from century as they are cobbled up crap i have a maadi arm its awesome

that makes since Im sure this was one purchased at Tallents Hardware in Tellico Plains goodness knows how long ago...

Was in the gun safe today prowling around and got out my old 16 gauge Cherokee shotgun. . .been in my family now for at least 3 generations anybody know anything about them. . .

thanks for all the input I guess Ill take my maadi arm on the deer hunt where we are going is very brushy id say 50 yards most likely be the longest shot I dont feel like I use the carbine enough. . .lol

i have a ruger pc 9 with bsa stealth tactical r/g/b mil dot sight any body think you could deer hunt with this thing if using a hot round like 9bple say up to bout 75 yards sorry was trying to put in pic but cant seem to figure out how to attach

good for you I looked for one of these for my wife for over a year now. . .she wants a wheel gun and I already have a p95 and a pc9 so I really wanted to stay witha 9mm

Federel 9bple +p+ is what I run in my 9mm pretty mean stuff and used to reasonably priced. . I stocked up at $15.00 a box of 50

Dont discount the Maadi's of course everyone knows how great the the Steyr imported preban Maadi's are but the post ban Pars imported and Intrac imported Maadi's are made on russian tooling in Cairo Egypt in Plant 54. . .just like the Steyrs. . . which was sold lock stock and barrell and set up by russians as close to an actual russian Ak as you can get. . .I have an Intrac and I love it. . just stay away from the Franken-Maadi's which were put together by Century arms using chinese parts on Maadi receivers. . .believe they are called Misr 90's. . pure junk. . . but the Steyr, Intrac and Pars international Maadis are as good as any. . imo of course. . .I was pleasantly surprised when I first disassembled my intrac Maadi that not only was the barrel chomed but the piston was as well. . .

Classic arms online great place for mags and they wolf ammo in stock

Welcome from Sweetwater

My apologies, I didnt mean to say all the century variants were "crap", in fact I know Century has put alot of good guns in good peoples hands. I was referring only to those Maadi's that Century put together using Maadi receivers and chinese parts. . .I believe they were called Misr 90's. . .once again deepest regrets to unintended "bash" of Century. . .. . . Thanks Paletiger13 for helping keep that properly focused. . .Im sorry you didnt keep that p95. . .but Im sure you moved on to better. . .

hard to beat a taurus ultra lite for the money if she goes the revolver route

Federal 9bple +p+ 115 gr JHP Hi-Shok bought about 750 founds right after Xmas for $15.00 per box of 50...tried and true....best deal i'd found for a long time

Taking my Egyptian AK to have a side plate for scope mount riveted ini. Does anyone know what that should cost?

Most sights that you order from let you choose. . but generally if you choose no sig required they wont be responsible if you come home when it was supposed to be dilevered and its not there

Its definitely curbed down on my shooting. . Ive got about 800 rounds of 7.62x39 and 350 or so of winclean 9mm target ammo and about 500 rounds of 9bple. . and other than taking my wife to let her become familiar with my p95 dc (maybe a hundred rounds of the win clean and and few 9bple (just so she can feel and hear the difference) Im sittin on the rest till this ammo deal blows over. .

Thank you all for your warm welcomes. . .

The Mosin nagants are awesome for the money and as the previous posted said if you can find a k98 they are hard to beat Classic Arms had some of these the last time I checked on their website and are a good source of ammo for these type weapons. . .and I think most are C&R eligible

The Rugers are tough as nails I run +p+ federal 9bple through mine all the time. . no worries

My bug out preperations are as follows: Maadi ARM (not the century arms crap) with a 1.5x6x44 illumnated reticle low light scope 6 30 round eastern euro mags and about 800 rds 154g soft point and my ruger pc9 with BSA stealth tactical R/G/B sight. . .spare batts and a ruger p95 DC and about 800 rounds of 9bple now I just need a saiga 12 preferably in 22" barrel for some versatility
