she cycles everything except low-brass birdshot... i think if i put a load of buckshot threw she should cycle fine... checked the gasports and I have a 4 holes,,, the front one is just barely covered up. if that doesn't work I will polish the bolt-head and I imagine that should fix it. thanks again everyone for the comments

I ended up going with the Tromix DIY with safety selector stop... http://www.mississippiautoarms.com/index.p...products_id=233 It worked out great... simple installation and feels more than sturdy.

Yup, has the standard M22x0.75 threads and a lockring. We're working on a big batch of them right now and will try to put together a package deal for Saiga-12 members sometime in January to coincide with the start of our advertising sponsorship here. Has anyone heard anything about the 'package deal' mentioned on this forum back on December 18th? I am nearing the completion of my latest Saiga 12 conversion and I wanted to incorporate a KA-1212. I would be interested in one as well.

I remember you from that Broad Moutain Ent thread. I ordered one from them , checked my ports just now after reading this and another thread... must be luck of the draw because I received a 4 porter, 3 clearly visible and I just make out half of the 4th. Im glad too because I had already converted her... pretty sure that voids the warranty lawl - Shes in the H08432xxx batch so I guess they sorted it.... from the posts I have read the ones affected are H08430xxx-H08431xxx

lawl I prob should of checked to see how many gas ports my gun has before I converted it... Does this only apply to the older years or are the newer 08' S12s effected as well?

Thanks everyone for the nice comments! I'lll be sure to let yall know how she shoots.

With her sister 7.62x39

nice, is that a limbsaver on that butt-stock? Looks like the slip-on version... was wondering what model that is. I have a similar stock.

hate to bump an old post- but justed wanted to set the record straight that Bround Mountain Ent. in my book A++ they held the rifle till I told them too and responded to all my inquiries promptly.

I have one in my 7.62x39 with no ill-effects... but from what I understand (*light forum reading) the way the S-12 is designed it has smaller tolerance and the buffer is more-likely to mess with cycling... I know I am not explaining this nearly up to par but I believe Tromix has posted on this and explained way better then I am able to... perhaps try searching his posts.

Finally got my dream S-12 done with. Gotta thank Broad Mountain Enterprise they were excellent with holding the Saiga-12 tuill my FFL was back in town. Gotta thank my FFL for 6$ transfer fee -- can't really beat that. Dinzag - although it takes whats seems like forever and a week to get your order... he always in the end comes through with quality parts. My friends for letting me use their tools : ) and last but not least BattleRifleG3 for supplying the beautiful lyptus wood furniture and putting up with my at times probably what seemed like retarded fitting/finishing questions. Going to go bl

I placed an order with them right before the X-Mas holidays. I was able to get in touch with them via email.... I asked and received a Fax number so my FFL could fax in his forms. They responded to all of my emails within 24hrs... hopefully it is just the holiday backlog. I went ahead and PMed you the contact info I have for them (email + fax #). Seeing as I just placed an order with them I was dreading opening this thread... but I reckon you will get things sorted out... My FFL is out of town till January 5th and I asked Broad Mountain and they agreed to not ship till then,,, when I receive m

So is that the general consesus, just shoot the darn thing? Funny how shooting the gun seems to solve a lot of the problems associated with it. I had to blast some heavy buchshot through her before she cycled birdshot correctly.

How was installation of the Samson? How sturdy does it feel? Have you mounted any optics to it yet? Looks good, congrats.

So this is a really noob question, but how do i adjust the settings on the polychoke. I just got one new and it screws on just fine but i can't get it off xfull. Do i mess with the litte ring/pin or what? Sounds like it's hand adjustable but mine sure doesn't seem so.

Looks great! This is very close to what mine will look like once I get all the parts I've ordered. What all do you have in it? bullet guide from danzig FCG from danzig bolt-on lower handguard retainer from danzig retainer plate ISSY AK suregrip pg ultimak gas tube rail system AKM/Ulitmak handguard tapco buttstock thanks for the props, gl with you conversion and post up a pic when you get her done.

yup, after doing a lot of research it seemed like that was the only route to go.... expensive but quality. at least now I wont have a bunch of old handguards/sight rails laying in the corner that will never be used.

moxie1c -- thanks will do! bolt on

Turned out pretty nice. Would like to thank these forums, dinzag, and everyone else who provided me with excellent advice and knowledge. Caught the bug,,,, now to track down an elusive S-12. Only tricky parts... 1) were the spot weld from hell, gave up on trying to drill it and took her over to a friend's shop, few good whacks with a nice sharp chisel and she popped right off. 2) gettin that damn bult hold open spring in position to insert the FCG pin... sheeeeeeeeeesh that took forever and day tapco trigger group from dinzag tapco collapsible buttstock ultimak usa made foregri

I know BattlerifleG3 used to make them but he seems to be out of commission as far as building furniture goes. If anyone else has a source for wooden furniture that will fit Saiga rifles or shotguns please let us know.

So I thought I had finally finished my shotgun conversion when I try and slide my bolt carrier into the reciever and it gets jammed on the hammer. It seems that the standard Tapco hammer sits too high to allow the bolt to clear when cycling. Anyone else experienve this? I am amazed that there is no Saiga 12 conversion thread, WTF? All this great info on shotties but no one has posted Step 1, the actual conversion proocess! It has been a far cry from the 7.62 x 39 conversion, I was told they'd be the same. I plan on just filing down the hammer if there's no other fix. Any help would be greatly

wow... damn sucks brotha. amazing deal.

Hmmm standard forend grip wont fit with the ultmiak gas tube. Any one have some suggestions of for ends that fit without modification or with slight mods?

I believe I saw this guys stand at the local Gunshow... not sure... Hope the suckers gets shutdown, if hes selling non-922r compliant guns... shouldn't too hard. Glad I read this thread... another company to put on my shitlist.
