This site has sure slowed down from the old days, but I thought you guys (whoever might be left) might want to see this video. Tony Rumore Tromix

I've acquired a Noveske N4 with Aimpoint T1 and a Beretta 92GElite LTT. Nate got a DDM4V7 and a Ruger American Compact.

I saw you ask this on the FB page too. Unlikely you'll get much response here. Sadly this forum has turned into a ghost town after the Russian firearm ban. That, and pretty much all that could be done to them had been done, and there was very little new info to be had Thankfully the database is still all here. And all the knowledge is still there if one wanted to dig through it. 😁😉 Good luck in your quest!

Kusa has barrels for $90 https://kalashnikov-usa.com/product/ks-12-12ga-shotgun-barrel/

Maybe Gecko45 can chime in for a few laughs! 🤣😂😅

I like the Tromix 8" and also the Evlutionz 6.5" builds. I have shotguns that were worked on by both, and am very happy. Unfortunately, neither are currently doing any Saiga 12 work, so I ask for referrals from you all. Thank you, in advance, for your recommendations.

Much love for the Spiker. Diving deeper into 5.45, money says ya got it stacked deep. Nothing but Like for Blonde AKs

Polytech Type 56 Pre-ban Spiker, Arsenal SLR-105, and some customized Hungarian wood for the 16” Saiga .308🙂

Hello, Idk if y'all still interested in the 3d file for saiga 12 mag. But I manage to find some .stl files from "iapple1" on r/fosscad on reddit range from 2-12rd mags, I hope y'all have a happy day you can find post: here

Just wanted to put my Saiga 223 in here for the history.

For anyone else who goes this route be prepared that the K-USA barrel is not chrome lined and the gas ports are drilled. The two cross pins for the gas block and the barrel pin in the trunion is not drilled. It's not the end of the world by any means but you have to stop and think a bit before pressing the barrel home.

Rkurtzer@gmail.com Absolutely a low frequency rumble is played during nearly every play for no reason other than to annoy. Either that, or the audio engineers don't realize some of us have speakers that clearly play their no reason, annoying, low level frequencies.

Well, if you want we can start debating about when the Saiga-12 becomes a destructive device again. Or get Makc to unban McUzi, if he hasn't been incarcerated yet

At least there's a few people still here. Not what it used to be. Would be really nice to have this place as busy as it used to be!!

Still checking in.

I mean, it's Bueller.....but if I correct you too much I'm liable to get banned. Or at least harassed for wise assery.

Thanks for the great info, I paid $355 back then ,I believe that was $30 or $40 over the black base model. I used it for a while hunting, got a couple deer but found in heavy brush the mag release got snagged and mag would drop out without much notice ! Excellent to see an ad from the time! Definitely a Saiga Fan item…!

So the camo ones didn't get imported by any other importer except EAA. The green was far and away the most common one. There is a brown camo that looks like fake wood as well. Overall they weren't as popular as most folks were not using Saiga-12s for hunting. When I found mine I paid $100 over the cost of the black ones. The last listing I found. https://www.guns.com/firearms/shotguns/semi-auto/saiga-saiga-12-12-ga-semi-automatic-20-rounds-20-barrel-used?p=877155&soldout=1 So really there are just so few of them it's hard to best guess what sort of price they would bring

As the title says. Finally did something I've been wanting to do for a long time and I'm extremely happy with the result. I used ALG FCG, the Phoenix stock from CSS, and a Hogue grip. I was going to pay someone to do it, but I'm glad I built the confidence to do it myself. Now I know the gun inside and out. It functions correctly, just need to shoot it. I am thinking of doing a different stock as it just feels real cheap, and then of course some new mags.

Glad you took the plunge. If you slicked up the BCG nicely, you'll have less of a gas issue. I had my BCG's (got more than one S-12) really well profiled plus I enlarged the gas ports in the barrel, so they are slightly over-gassed. Take your time and do your work in small increments. Taking material away is easy...putting it back, not so much.

And.... there're the feet!

Congrats for taking the plunge and doing it yourself.

What state are you in? If in central WA, I would help you do it. I'm not a licensed smith, but we could get it done. Otherwise, Anthony Hitch or Mike Rogers come to mind for people I would trust to do it properly, and Tromix.

Many people here have bought steel Galil magazines and found that they don't exactly function 100% in the Saiga .223. Count me in on that group. The magazines are very well made, but fit a little loose in the rifle, and sit a little too low in the receiver to always function 100%. There are a couple of problems with the average steel Galil mag when used in the Saiga .223: 1. Many of the magazines are worn out. A couple of the mags I bought look great on the outside, but upon disassembly, the spring looks like hell, and the anti-tilt legs on the follower are noticeably bent after some h

I'm building a .223 AK from a Bulgarian AK-74 parts kit very soon, so I've been checking and comparing the Saiga and AK-74 parts in order to make sure that they can share all mags I have on hand without issue. What I've found is that there are two trunnion dimension types that the majority of .223 AK mags are designed for: AKM and AK-74. The AK-74 trunnion has smaller height locking lugs. The AKM trunnion locking lugs have a greater overall height, and protrude lower into the magazine well. The Saiga .223, despite being based on the AK-100 series, uses a trunnion that shares locking lu

All that money in gold plate, and they still did not do a proper pistol grip restoration!
