Thanks for the help. The new one is on the left. I'm taking it to the range this week and can hardly wait!

It's been awhile since I have been very active here and there have been some product changes since I was really into it. To preface this a bit, I've done 2 7.62x39 and 2 S12 conversions as well as built around 20 AK's from kits. Needless to say, I'm handy with a dremel and not afraid to hack and slash on a firearm This is my current love: Yesterday I acquired an unconverted 2001 S12 with the 22" barrel, no BHO in very nice condition. I thought that since this is the MOST rabid hoard of S12 lovers anywhere I'd ask a few opinions on some of the new stuff to make conversions easier. Parti

I just wanted to extend a big THANK YOU! to MAA. I placed an online order for a Magnolia State Armory Galil mag adapter Sunday night and received it today. After squabbling with MSA directly and waiting for Gpal to get me a refund, MAA's quick turn around with no BS or drama was a great relief. Thanks again, I will be doing business with you and recommending you in the future!

Here are a couple pics: I went ahead and put in a bullet guide while I had it stripped for conversion. I could tell from the way the FMJ rounds barely made it into the chamber that soft nosed and hollow points would snag. There is a bevel at the bottom of the chamber just like what guys put on their 223 conversions. From all appearances, the receiver is a mil-spec AK without the third hole having been drilled. There's a faint trace of a cyrillic selector marking still showing through also. Unfortunately my Pic-Fu is weak and those shots turned to crap. I got the rifle slight

I got a new Saiga, it has dimples and looks like the right side had some welding done over the top of the original stampings and on the inside right rail. When I was seeing how much to take off the mag catch I put in two rounds to check rail alignment. When I slowly ran the bolt back and forth both rounds fed and ejected perfectly. I tried a few more rounds, then different mags. All fed and ejected fine, even when letting the bolt slam into them. There is a bevel under the chamber and I'm guessing this helps. I'm also using Wolf classic FMJ's as testers. I have everything I need to do a bu

If anyone who replied actually knew Zach, they'd know that he is a resilient and tenacious individual who'll get what he wants despite whatever negative BS you throw at him. No matter what folks here might think of him for this offer, or of me and my opinion for that matter, Zach is good people in my book. Hey, he's trying and not giving up and whining about the gougers on E-Bay rather than enjoying his hobby.

Great! E-Mail inbound for details. Thank you!

I'm trying to find an original Saiga 7.62 x 39 magazine catch that hasn't been ground or messed with. It can be still attatched to the spring and housing. Has anyone that's done the conversion have one laying around? Thank you.

Why shouldn't they? They merely facilitate the relationship between the buyer and the seller. Maybe you failed economics or need to take a refresher course. This is still a free market economy and supply is always driven by demand, whether it is an artificially created demand such as new Playstations or a real one Sumatran coffee beans. As far as the moral implications of an inflated price, this isn't a medical necessity or food commodity. People who can afford a boat own a boat, if they can afford two new cars, boat, swimming pool and a house earned those items by one way or another. I've

Wow, I had come real close to almost respecting you. So when you go into a store that is too expensive for you but you want their stuff anyway do you set off the sprinklers to get it at a discount? Hey, if you can't afford to use your firearms sell them to those who can, or maybe have a job that doesn't give you 24/7 right to obsess about one type of gun all day, every day. This site was helpful while doing my conversions but now I'm finding it to be an annoying bastion of petulant, self-absorbed whiners at home with their obsession and misery. You guys should realize that there is a wide

I've got an East German folder that is almost identical to the Romy folder except for the paddle release. The cheek weld stings as it smacks your face and it digs into your shoulder. This is 7.62x39 with the matching parts it was built for. It's built solid as a rock but I wouldn't put it on my S12. The recoil pads are sold by K-Var.

When you don't have an impact screwdriver a couple of smart taps with a hammer to the screwdriver helps loosen things up. I know what you mean teadie, I've got 4 5 rounders (one still in the wrap) and a couple of two's so I can be patient. I can see how it would be really frustrating only having one mag and no pile of other AK's with you at the range though.

welcome teadie. folks we are now graced with the presence of by far one of the finest AK builders around. So teadie, here to bitch about the lack of hi-cap 12 mags with the rest of us?

I'd buy more if they were less, i.e. 8 @ $25 vs probably 2 if they were around $50. I'd at least buy 1 as long as it wasn't an EBay grab your ankles price. 8 would be optimum as I could probably use RPK mag cases. Get on it quick in case we get flooded with imports.

Rick-16 is an awesome seller, buy with confidence. I just got a package from him today and everything was better than expected!

What NCShooter said. I always put the tube's rear end in a drill-press vise and try to find the "sweet spot" direction to turn.

Between myself and my buddies around here I know we'd all be in for 5 to 10 mags EACH.

This one will do fine: http://www.k-var.com/product.asp?0=216&1=258&3=359 You might have to do a little creative dremeling to widen it to fit. I'll have a pre-split one with a bolt and nut for sale here as soon as I cut it off my AMD 65 parts kit. I also have a US black synth stockset and gas tube I'd let go of too if anyone's interested.

Nope one side is lower than the other and there is a perfect angle to them. The rail is perfectly flat along the two sides on the angle.

I got a used BP-02 and it has an upward angle to the rail, Does anyone know what this is about? It looks like it was made that way and not Bubbafied.

Gummerfan, now you're catching on. Welcome to Economics 101.

LMMFAO Gummerfan--that is AWESOME!!!!

Those aren't AP rounds, they are for pest control, racoons, possums, rats, bunny rabbits, muggers, rapists, thugs, dope fiends, etc......
