  1. I just measured ten of them. They ranged from .877" to .883"
  2. I'll try and post a pic tomorrow. I already left the shop or I would do it tonight. P.S. I got the G3 sights on the shorty today........its cool.
  3. At first, I thought the stoppage was caused by the TOP of the shell getting deformed, but it is actually the BOTTOM of the shell that gets hung up on the barrel root when feeding. I simply cut a feed ramp in the bottom of the barrel root and it cured the problem. Tony Rumore Tromix Corp
  4. I am actually ready to roll on the Saiga conversions right now. I just got 10ea guns in this morning and they are already completely torn down and ready for mods and reassembly. By late tomorrow, most will be well on their way back together as 12" shorty's. The SBS paperwork was faxed to the ATF this morning as well. You will find that I work very quickly with not much jacking around while thinking stuff over. I have already manufactured tooling to spin the bolt carrier on the piston axis in the lathe, have a fixture to cut and reweld the carrier/piston (straight), and have a forming d
  5. Here's the latest on the Tromix Saiga project. Rather than posting new stuff every day and bombard the board with my stuff, I am holding back and will unveil a pic of the final Tromix Saiga SBS in a few days. I have read all your e-mails and have taken some of your advise, but not all. The prototype gun is currently configured with a Tromix flash hider, bayo lug, Ace M249 paratrooper butstock, tactical light, picatinney rail forend, vertical grip, Tromix U.S. cold weather trigger housing, Tromix U.S. gas piston, and short overtravel/short reset trigger. The G3 rifle sights will be added
  6. Nothing like hijacking my own thread.........but.......... I have a 1987 FZR 1000 with a pair of nitrous bottles sitting above the the single seat cowl in the back. I bought the bike new in 1987 for $5,500 and prompty installed the nitrous. It doesn't have the top-end of today's bikes but in an 1/8 mile, not a 1/4, it ran 6.5 seconds at 121mph. That's pretty fast for half a track with no wheelie bar. I also installed a Canadian Bristol Aerojet solid fuel rocket engine on it several years ago, though I never lit it off. It had 350 pounds of thrust for a 12 second burn, weighed 46 pound
  7. It was 1934. Caspian, your bike is slow......where's your nitrous? I have mine. Tony
  8. Guys, The is no such thing as a full auto license. Each full auto gun simply needs to be registered to you, just like your car. Prior to May of 1986 you could simply buy a Title 1 semi for the price of the gun plus an 11% excise tax. If the gun was full auto (title 2) it would cost you the gun, plus 11%, plus a $200 registration/transfer fee. Back then, M16's only cost about $500, so that $200 was a significant hit which most people (back then) could care less about running full auto.
  9. I suppose I could do one with an AK bayonet lug are they all the same? I think I have a bayo that came with my Norinco underfolder that I bought in California in 1985. The blade is only about 6" long though.
  10. I am certainly no expert here, as I have not shot anything larger than coyotes with a shotgun. I can tell you from experience though, that double-ought and triple-ought pretty much suck on 10-40 pound animals. You only end up with a pellet or two connecting even when you center them up in the pattern. #1 buck stops them in their tracks everytime. I just got the Saiga, but #1 Buck through my Benelli M3 works vastly better than the larger shot......albeit on a smaller four legged target.
  11. I just got back from shooting the 12" gun and it ran superbly. I fired a large assortment of 3" mags of all shot sizes as well as a bunch of 2.75" #1 Buck, double-ought buck and slugs. It cycled them all fine, about 100 rounds or so. It is sure nice to put together a gun that runs good right off the bat, and not have to dick with it.
  12. No, it's not quite that advanced. The light is simply clamped to the barrel beneath it and the pressure switch cable runs down into the gas regulator a bit. My initial thought was to encase the light in a gas regulator "extension" tube , but the light diameter is too large to center on the gas regulator axis. It has to be off-set upwards a hair to fit, so I had to resort to simply clamping it to the barrel.
  13. I will work on customer supplied guns, no problem. The Tromix website will be updated very shortly with a list of gunsmithing/fabrication items. I have been threading a lot of AR barrels lately and the turn time is usually one day. Since custom work is very specific to the customer's needs, it's best to just call to discuss exactly what you want. The shop number is 918 251-5640 or you can call my cell phone at 918 637-0390. Tromix is a one man shop, so I have to run to UPS, pick up new tooling, etc, so if you call the shop I might be out at the moment. Just call back, leave a mess
  14. I am sorry guys, I am not familiar with this board. I didn't mean to post crap in the wrong forum. I'll take a better look around and get it right next time.
  15. The introductory price on this gun as shown in the first pic (albeit cleaned up and refinished) will be $695 and transferable tax free to your Class 3 dealer in your state. There would be a $200 transfer tax from your dealer to you, in order to obtain the gun. Options such as lights, vertical grips, flash hiders, HK sights, etc will be an additional charge. I have 10ea inbound that will arrive here on Monday......I should have them all completed by the first of the year.
  16. Close up of the lug assembly. Target pricing is in the $28 range. I will firm it up shortly. http://www.hunt101.com/showphoto.php?photo=231561
  17. Here's a pic a a bayo lug mount I whipped up for the Saiga. It just uses a set-screw to scure the loop w/lug to the barrel. The bayo hoop can be opened up in about 30 seconds with a die grinder to fit the muzzle end. I had to add a mocked up barrel extension to my 12" gun to get the pic. http://www.hunt101.com/showphoto.php?photo=231524
  18. Lets try the pic again. http://www.hunt101.com/showphoto.php?photo=231524 http___www.hunt101.com_showphoto.php_photo_231524
  19. Here's a pic of the Saiga shorty with a Tactical light added. It looks much better than having the light dangling off the bottom of the barrrel in the conventional position. I just need to leave the barrel about 1/2" longer on future guns. http://www.hunt101.com/showphoto.php?photo=231524
  20. I haven't seen that pic in awhile. The gun is a Rapid Fire semi auto 1919 that I converted to OPEN BOLT full auto. For those that don't know, the original 1919 runs off a closed bolt. The barrel and shroud were cropped to 12" and converted to fire 8mm for a bit more ka-banger. That pic was taken on my buddy's cattle ranch in Nowata, OK. After bringing out a bunch of machine guns and AR's, I was finally able to convince most of the ranchers in the area to ditch their 30/30's in their tractor/trucks and go to AR-15's. It's pretty funny to see those old ranchers packing Tromix AR's. Hel
  21. There are no aiming devices on the twin barrel M16. The whole damn thing is rather pointless, that's why I like it. I find humor in those that rationalize some tactical need for some goofy gadget that hangs from their gun. I don't rationalize anything. Most everything I build is completely pointless and for entertainment purposes only.
  22. I believe I could have gone shorter on the barrel. I am using a single gas port rather than the unnessesary tri-setup on the original. The gas port is still quite small in my opinion, so the barrel could be cropped shorter and the port opened up a bit. I did not remove the barrel from the receiver to do the machine work. The carrier had to be modifed extensively to work with the shorter gas tube. I don't have a pic of the Siamese-16 M16 hosted at the moment, but I can get one up if anyone really cares.
  23. The entire gas system was backed up quite a distance. The gas tube was sectioned and rewelded, as well as the gas piston shaft. The piston was modified as well as significant rework to the bolt carrier. The folding stock is off an M249 SAW.
  24. Well....I know a lot of freaks. It was built for the freak named Jason Hinkle in Alaska.
  25. The title speaks for itself. Tromix enters the short barrel shotgun market. Tony Rumore Tromix Corp www.tromix.com http://www.hunt101.com/showphoto.php?photo=230950 http___www.hunt101.com_showphoto.php_photo_230950
