[unsticking a stuck saiga stock]

Thanks to all who have replied on this thread: it's the info I needed, and I'll grab a bigger hammer tomorrow, after daylight.

[differences between 19" models and 24" models?]

Not sure why the guys who made the saiga went with 19" + threads, but whatever.

Actually, this is what I've considered for my too-long S12: cut down and thread to the standard 19" length (via gunsmith -- this exceeds my skillz). Since this is longer than 'sawed-off shotgun' length even without brake, I presume that there are no legal issues involved, right? Other than maybre 922r, and I'm taking care of that in other ways. Just want to make sure.

 

Yeah, yeah: gas ports: I know. :-)
