  3. BHO gone.. stuck back inside.. help!!!

    in Saiga-12

    Posted

    Thanks all. I finally got it open, theres no tension on the BHO, so the spring will need some work. For some reason the bolt want go back into the chamber. I have it in the right position to insert, however it want go. I cycled the bolt several times before i took it out along with the gas rod spring so i dont know what could be in the way.. I took it to the dealer i bought it from and there gonna get it to the smith who converts them.

  15. How do I inspect a used converted S12

    in Saiga-12

    Posted

    I gotta add something here. I have worked in several large factories over the years that build transmissions and deal with tolerances in the micron range up to Cat engines that start as a 20,000 pound casting. I have seen some of the latest and greatest machining processes and some fine tool and die guys. Im not. I just fix the machines. NOW having said that the Saiga and all AK platforms are STAMPED out guns. They are butt primative and while I dont have a nice shop at home these guns are NOT like building a space shuttle. Sure some get fd up and may not be pretty but there are a lot of guys who do conversions for themselves that turn out just fine. May not be pretty and have a zoot deluxe finish but they do what they are built to do.

    Plus if you only do a limited number of them or just one its easy to make a mistake but mostly nothing that cant be fixed other than a bolt. Even those can be fixed by someone with a shop.

     

    Converting these guns are not like hand fitting and building a 1911 or precision bolt gun.

     

    For those who dont have the inclination to do it themselves or want to figure it out over time the professional builder is the way to go.

    I think everyone of us who has done any kind of Saiga work ourselves has made errors and learned from them. Hell if I started building them to sell Im sure I would get much better and learn more about the finer points.

     

    I dont see any reason to insult the guy who is able to do a conversion at home just because he isnt some worship worthy "gunsmith".

     

     

    I really dont know why some of us are in a bad place mentally at the moment and feel the need to bash.

  17. welding question

    in Saiga-12

    Agreed..pipe welder here.. have it tigwelded. Either way have him use ER70S-6 grade TIG or MIG wire. Clamping the copper behind the hole will do wonders as long as his heat is set RIGHT.. make sure he knows what hes doing and not a Mcguyver welder( battery and coat hanger :unsure: )

  20. eotech clone/replica question

    in Saiga-12

    Posted

    Okay so i got my saiga bout finished up.. put a chaos quadrail on it last week.. now on to optics. Im a fan of eotech for short-distances.. however im not gonna pay 300$ plus for one. I see all these clones and was wondering about how well they work for saiga use? Im looking at a 552 replica.. were these things designed just for airsoft or for real gun use?? Im sure there not made as well as the eotech brands.. i mean hey you get what you pay for.. lol.. anybody familiar with these??

     

    Thanks
