[Krebs Aftermarket Safety]

Made my own - painted it flat black at first before I finished it.

[Has anybody Used the Polish Beryl Folding Stock]

Hmmm, yea I like that. I put an east german folder on mine, didn't care for it on the shotgun. Its great on the .223 and 7.62x39 though.

[Need some input from hunters]

Have you thought of an AR chambered for .308?

 

Have you thought about his question, and perhaps he isn't stupid?

[Need help after range trip]

Any duracoat on the inside of the receiver? Like the rails for example? You say it doesn't ride smooth, and if its not an extractor problem I would try greasing the rails and trying again. Use any regular grease for now, but I keep mine greased all the time with good synthetic grease. Try hand-cycling it with shells, and see if it will pull out shells that way as well.

 

It does hand cycle shells if I go slowly. It does not have duracoat on the rails, and the gun was well lubed.

 

What happens if you cycle it as fast as you can?

[That red headed chick on the Wendy's commercial]

Holy crap that is some ASS.

[Need picture evidence of best groups]

Ok, here is proof of my best 5 shot group at 100 yards.

 

Sorry the resolution is so low, my scanner is a little old...

 

That funny. Make me laugh hard .

[wasr 10 muzzle brake retaining pin]

Tap out the front pin holding your FSB on, it also retains the pin. There is a notch in the pin that allows it to only travel so far forward, so it doesn't get lost when you remove your muzzle device.

[South TX rattlesnakes vs the S12]

How do you de-spine them things? and do ya get one long strip of meat?

[extreme cold light primer strike issue]

I would have to agree with the frozen condensation being the most likely culprit, if you are taking it from 70 degrees or so, down to 20 below. Condensation will form FAST and freeze FAST, and once its frozen in there gonna put the brakes on operation. Maybe some de-icer in there might help? Most needed fact is if you are taking it out of your warm house or truck or if they are already at the -20 mark when you shoot.

[any real welders out there, anyone need a carrier?]

I'll weld it.

[New Member Here--Just Bought a Saiga 12 in Sporter Config]

I dunno....mine ran good for a long time after the conversion, and eventually started banging the bolt-carrier into the rear trunnion, dunno if this is due to the spring wearing out or what, but I eventually bought a v-plug to cut the gas a bit. I think the weapons DO break in, otherwise why would I have slick spots on all the parts that contact each other?

[Man vs. Turkey]

Hah! That was great! Cmon motherfucker.....BLAM!

[PKA waever red dot]

I've also had excellent customer service from Kalinka. I have a side-mount PK-A that I like quite well.

[Best Folding Stock?]

I'm pretty partial to the romanian/east german folding stocks. I have one of each, they are pretty much identical except for the folding mechanism. One is a lever, one a button. They both work equally well. Rock-solid too. I wrapped some paracord on mine to make the cheek weld a little more comfy.

 

Nice looking gun, and good choice of magazines. And is that an AMD 65 pistol grip or something else?

 

I agree that the Romanian wire folders are a great no-hassle choice. Were you able to get the East German folders to work as well? I tried a Tantal stock once, but it did not really work with the Saiga trunnion; the lever had no tension. I assumed that the East German stocks were the same way, since the design of the mechanism is similar.

 

Yea, but actually had to grind some metal for it to be able to lock in the closed position. Other than that it was fine, locks up great now and is rock-solid. Oh, forgot about the grip....while it looks cool IMO, the plastic it is made of doesn't allow you to tighten it to the pistol-grip nut very tight without destroying the innards. I honestly forgot where I got it, but it is an aftermarket part, and certainly not mil-spec. Looks cool yes, plastic is weak though. Not recommended.

[What to you use to paint your Saiga after conversion?]

That Duplicolor engine paint. Would that be DE1634? Got it primed last night but my local Auto Zone doesn't carry any Duplicolor in low gloss. Only flat or high gloss.

 

You'll have to shop around....try all the auto zones and orielly's in your area, and you will find some.

[Winter comes back to Central New York]

Nice truck.

[found a sar-1 at last]

Damn! My first AK was going to be a SAR-1.....but when I got back to the table at the gun show they were all gone.....I had to settle for a WASR at the same price. All is well that ends well I guess, its a good solid gun, just a hair of mag wobble and she shoots straight! Reliable as hell to boot! Beggars can't be choosers

 

[Romi folding stock on a 12 gauge?]

I just did not like it! I really can't say why...I use the irons on my 12. For some reason, I prefer a standard warsaw length stock and the pussy-pad applied to that to give length. I am not recoil sensitive, nor did it bruise me. I love it on my 7.62x39 WASR and .223 saiga....I really don't know why I hated it so much on the 12. Just didn't fit me right. Its my favorite folding stock out there, but not on my shotty. I own 2, one romanian and one east german. They seem pretty identical except for the folding mechanism, one is a lever, the other a button. Either way, I like them both. Just not on my shotgun.

 

reason for edit - the pussy-pad won't allow the folder to fold completely and lock, so I would avoid that option if you want it to fold. You could modify the locking mechanism (fairly easy) but I do not know if the gun would cycle correctly or the buttpad would be in the way of the charging handle.

[Waiting on OEM 8's]

Why do you buy good beer when the cheap stuff will do the job. Why would anyone buy $2,000 dollar watch when a much cheaper one will keep just as good time. Why would anyone marry a beautiful woman when an ugly one........OK, never mind that one. The point is, can your life ever depend on having a better beer or a fancier watch? Some things are worth spending as much as you can possibly afford to have the best. Here are some more: ......Parachutes, Condoms, Brake pads, Smoke Alarms, Brain Surgeons, Women, Lawyers.

 

All of that sounds VERY expensive. I usually save money on brake pads and smoke alarms, the cheap ones seem to do the job just fine. Course.....I am driving an '83 chevy truck at the moment. As for women...well...they all look the same in the dark .

[I think I might be pounding her too hard....]

Yep, looks like everyone has a bit of wear on the parts.....I think mine is just a hair outta wack, she's cycling 100% on the middle v-plug setting with buckshot so I'm gonna leave it at that. Takes a beating and keeps on eating!

[Best Folding Stock?]

Floyd9.....how's that bipod? Yea/Nay...who makes it? etc.

 

Just a standard barrel-clamp bipod, you can find them at gun shows all the time, not sure who makes them. I didn't much care for that setup so I modified mine to mount onto the receiver, although I havn't figured out a workaround to get a handgaurd on there with the bipod . It looks like this at the moment -

[I think I might be pounding her too hard....]

Heh, I certianly should have posted this video sooner.....Notice the fire coming from the chamber. 3 Inch slugs. Remington.

[Crazy shit going on at my house, I'm not making this up]

I used to (yoo-stah if you're from the south) work with a guy that didn't like cats because they walk around with their tails in the air, exposing their assholes. He found it extremely offensive.

That is the funniest shit I have read in days. I also find it offensive, COVER THAT ASSHOLE YOU FUCKING FELINE!

[New Owner Report & Quesion]

Yea mine does too, consider yourself lucky if you're a reloader. I would go about trying to fix it....but I just love the extremely positive ejection! Most of my brass is still reloadable, so I don't find it to be a big problem, but every 10 or so shots, one gets nailed hard.
