  1. VERY NICE! Unlike those that have stated " I'm not a bullpup fan" I am a bullpup fan and have built a Saiga 410 from a kvar kit and I like it alot. That being said, yours looks much nicer. I hope you bring it into production, I think there are a lot of closet bulpup fans out there.

  2. Wow, there are some interesting folks around here.

     

    I've been paddling white water canoes for over 20 years. My handle is a play on spelling, kanur = ku new er = canoer.

    I used to restore and race vintage Penton dirt bikes but now they mostly just collect dust.

  3. A kitchen table build is as remarkable as a full machine shop build.

     

    Now that is funny because my wife just got one of those expensive Mission/Amish style table sets where the chairs weigh about 50# each and has informed me there will be no more cleaning or working on guns at the table.

     

    My MBUS front sight arrived and it is on and the barrel mounted sight is gone. I had planned on a red dot but I like the clean looks and simplicity of the front and rear MBUS so much I may just leave it like that.

     

    Another member posted this pic of a barrel shroud they are making so I'm thinking something like it and a muzzle brake would be a nice finishing touch. If I get that done I'll post a new picture.

    In the words of the southern belle fresh out of charm school "How Nice"

     

    You don’t care for quad rails but you're all about that "slapped together" look.

     

    This from someone who slapped a Wal-Mart butt pad on a 410 and then that spear of a rail waiting to take your eye out? Ouch that hurts. Did someone say airsoft parts?

     

    Did you use dry wall screws to secure that rail to the forward trigger grip assembly?

     

    No, Those little plastic push pins that hold your cars door panels on.

     

    Is there duct tape, I know there has to be duct tape.

     

    No again, I was all out so I had to use that putty stuff that holds posters on walls. I'm surprised you don't know about it.

     

    But seriously, guns are serious business and tacking parts on normally isn't very conducive to safe operating practices.

     

    Let's go back to the eye poker!

     

    I am very disappointed that I was the first person to have the balls to tell you that you built a bubba gun.

     

    Well.... there's one in every crowd and I've saw enough of your posts on this and other forums to know that you are " the one". Thanks for all the constructive advise, you've been most helpful.

     

  5. No offense, but that is one ugly bull pup job.

     

    Ha Ha! That is exactly what I thought about yours before I built mine.

     

    You should see if you could copy my bull pup quad rail system.

     

    No offense, But I don't care for quad rails on any firearm. I would not use one of yours if you sent it to me for free, again no offense, I just find it fugly!

     

     

     

     

  6. Only a face a mother could love...good job getting it done though!

     

    Ha Ha

    002.gif That makes the gun and me a good match for each other.

     

    Yeoldetool The front site is what comes with the kit. The rear that comes with it is made for an AK and will not work on the Saiga shotgun. I adapted an HK rail to it and robbed the rear MBUS from my AR that I never shoot. I have a front MBUS on order and will ditch the front sight when it comes in. I'm also thinking of putting a red dot on it.

     

    Since the kit is made for an AK rifle and not a shotgun it had a few hiccups to start with but works very well now. With an AOL of just 30" it is my new truck gun giving my Kel-Tec Sub 2000 a rest.

  7. You either love them or hate them and I'm a Bullpup fan

     

    With all the buzz on the net about the Kel-Tec KSG and the new bullpup kit for the Remmington 870 I found myself wanting a bullpup shottie but none are available yet. I had read about Saiga's being converted using the K-Var kit and I already had a converted 410 so that seemed the way to go.

     

    Here is what I ended up with and I'm pretty pleased with it.

  8. Dirt Bikes and White Water Paddling. I have been paddling white water rivers in kayaks, canoes, and ocasionally rafts for over 20 years and riding dirt bikes even longer.

     

    In 2004 after a 13 year wait we got a private party permit to do the Grand Canyon. It took 18 days and we went 225 miles. There is no place to restock or get out untill then. The best part was no one in our group had ever been there. Other than what our guide books said no one new what was coming up next. That made it a real adventure.

  9. I fool around a lot with vintage dirt bikes and have found 2 suppliers that have a lot of the things I need. One is one state away in TN and the other is 2000 miles away in California. On the same item for the same price the TN guy will be 3 times higher on shipping. Guess what? I always check with the CA guy first.

     

    When I sell something on ebay I always advertise my item with free shipping and set my opening bid accordingly. This seems to get more bids and more money for me in the end. Ebay now requires a seller to post a shipping charge so it makes me think they were getting a lot of complaints.

     

    If I fail to ask shipping charges on something I buy and get stung........... Well we all know that old saying.

     

    MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone, I hope there is a lot of Saiga stuff under your tree.

  10. Mike, Though I can't answer your question here is my experience. My 410 came with a 10 rd Surefire mag that fit VERY loose. When the 15s became available I called CSS and ask Greg if he thought they would fit better. He said all Saiga recievers are slightly different and he thought the 15 rd would fit better. Well it fit like a glove and works great!

     

    I would think yours could be made to fit but I'm just a Saiga noob so I'll let others say for sure.

     

    If anyone has a real tight reciever I have a 10 rd mag that should work.

  11. Hi folks,

     

    I just picked up my very first Saiga. It's a 410 that has had a very nice conversion already done to it.

    I have been wanting to get one of these for a while and decided I better do it befor the (Obama Bin Biden) administration takes over.

     

    My question is - The little nub on the safety is making a nice little arced scratch on the reciever. From pictures I have looked at on this site some guns have it and some do not. It's not a big deal but if there is a way to prevent it I would like to know. If it is just part of owning a Saiga so be it.

     

    This site is great and I'm sure I'll have more questions.

     

    Thanks in advance for any help
