  1. thanks wagnikov for the offer to weld it up for FREE, sorry you got chewed out for being a nice guy... Wth..... Anyway, as an update I have about 100 rounds through it since it was rewelded, no signs of re-cracking! My welder did a really good job, I will keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't crack any more but I put a lot of slugs and nitro clay loads through it so I think if it was going to crack again it would have already
  2. If you have to keep up a steady rate of fire for a very long time then a tube fed would be preferable to me. Obviously a Vepr is much faster at first until you have to stop and reload magazines which takes you out of the fight where a pump gun could keep shooting, albeit at a slow rate indefinitely.
  3. It could be that all the pin does is sit in a little half moon cutout and prevent the rsb from sliding in its T channel
  4. I don't think it is pinned either.... but that is why the WPA tech told me. I think i posted their reports a (long) ways back, but I can dig it up if needed. I pointed out the T shaped channels myself earlier in the thread, I think it just fits in those channels and welded on each side. I forgot, if you look at the RSB where it fits into the channel, it is possible that there is an extended part of the RSB that extends to where the barrels pins to the trunnion. It would be possible to pin it that way, but again... i dont think that is the case. We need someone to find a pic of an un-
  5. I was ready to be done with this thread, but not if you keep repeating this lie over and over. It was NOT limited just to the weld, you are completely wrong about how my gun was cracked, so why would anyone listed to anything else you have to say about it? You're either spreading lies on purpose or cant read, and either one doesnt look good for you. You either cant read what I posted, or you are purposely spreading lies about my situation, for what purpose I have no idea...... Are you supposed to be medicated ? Better up your dose because its not working for you. I made
  6. If rockmup keeps spreading a lie that my crack was weld only when it clearly was not as I have stated repeatedly.... then I will continue to point out that he is spreading said lie, simple as that. Ask him why he is doing it, I sure as hell have no idea.
  7. I would agree with you, obviously the puck is stopped by the end of the gas tube, if force is applied to the end of the gas tube, then that force is also applied to the RSB/Trunnion. Someone cant just claim these forces are negligible because they feel like it. You and I have been saying mostly the same thing all along, Russians wouldn't weld something if they didn't have to. It was important enough for Molot and Izmash to pay some factory worker to sit there and weld up every single Vepr/Saiga with this gas system when almost no other Russian small arm has welds.... that should tip us off

  9. I'm not sure, but you might want to check into parabellum armament and also texas weapon systems, I think one ..or maybe both of them had a rear sight that they made to work with their own dust cover rails. It would probably bolt right up to the Vepr rail but i have no idea if the height would be right.
  10. Are Molot mags breaking or something? Do they not work well?
  11. If you dont think its a big deal, whoopty -F'ing doo. It's still BULLSH** that a brand new $900 gun cracked after 10rds, I don't care if its structural or not. If anyone lives in Georgia let me know, I'll crack your sight base welds for free and give it back to you since its no big deal. Seriously, put your money where your mouth is and I'll crack yours since you're telling me its no big deal and "just shoot it". PM me and we'll work it out. I'll be waiting for any takers on that. My sight base has already been re-welded and the guy did a great job. Hopefully this will take care
  12. Not a fan of that huge rib on the back like an AK mag but they look interesting...
  13. Cracks in the toe and one side only almost never cross over the weld into the other base metal, at least I rarely if ever see it. So I doubt my crack would have traveled into the trunnion, but it would eventually have cracked all the way through my rear sight base and probably cracked the sight off the gun at some later date, taking the rail and cover with it. I don't think anyone should be giving out advice to shoot guns with cracks ANYWHERE on them and I would expect much better from anyone who is manufacturing guns. As proven by mine, even a tiny crack that looks like its in the weld
  14. A) you're wrong- you can see in my last photo that it was cracked deep into the sight base. Not sure how many times I can say that if people don't want to read it. Others can keep claiming it would have stayed in the weld but, you're completely wrong since it already propagated into the base metal And when i'm not here, I'm inspecting welds for a living and dealing with cracks in industrial settings ... So................. there's that. I really don't care if anyone is dumb enough to shoot a cracked gun, it's your own face..... knock yourself out. But telling others to do it is
