  3. Default Choke on Saiga 12?

    in Saiga-12

    Posted · Edited by ChileRelleno

    No choke from the factory, 12-gauge, cylinder bore is 0.730 inches

    The Saiga 12 was designed for screw-on chokes.

    Carolina Shooters Supply sells them individually or in a set of three.

    CSS also sells a Saiga flash hider that is designed to take certain Winchester win-Chokes.

  6. Covering the Conversion Bases

    in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!

    Posted · Edited by ChileRelleno

    I'm finally going to have my Saiga 7.62x39 converted to an AK-103, having Middletown Firearms in Virginia do the work.
    I can't afford to go whole hog, 100% Russian, so I'll be cheating a little with the folder and whatnot.
    But otherwise going round the bases, with repopulating the barrel, welding all holes, installing a folder and etc.
    And have it refinished in Russian black paint.

    Here's a parts list and y'all tell me if I've the bases covered, what you'd change or recommend.

    Saiga 7.62x39, dimpled, stripped down to a barreled receiver
    Russian FSB 24x1.5mm RH, ID .571" and hardware
    Arsenal AK74 muzzle brake, 24x1.5mm RH, chrome lined, 7.62x39
    Russian 90° gas block
    Russian hand guard retainer. ID .673"
    Russian 1000m rear sight leaf, half tick marked.  Russian gas tube.  Russian cleaning rod                                
    AK Builder side folder PG reinforcement plate
    Bulgarian 4.5mm folding kit, with front latch
    Arsenal black polymer 4.5mm folding stock, with hand guards, PG and hardware
    Arsenal AK74/100 trigger guard, with safety stop, mag latch assembly and all hardware
    Tapco G2 trigger group and retainer plate

    I was going to pin the FSB and GB, I know the 103 uses dimples so what do ya think, pins and faux dimples or just pins?

    Contemplating if I should go so far as to scrub all markings and have new ones etched. Same for selector marks and divots.  It's just running the price up.

  12. Russian Saiga 12 LRBHO NIB value?

    in Saiga-12

    Go to GunBroker and do an Advanced search of Completed listings, that will give what people have actually been paying for them, not asking.

    It is unfortunate that all the cheap copies have driven the price down, and Saiga 12's no longer garner the same premium as imported AK rifles.

    Back on Feb 14th I efiled a form1 to SBR my new AR pistol, that counts as a purchase... right?

    Decided to upgrade my Saiga x39 rifle's barrel components, gonna use Toth Tools and RForbus tools to do the job myself.

    Still trying to find a 90' gas block of either Russian, Bulgarian or Arsenal manufacture.

    Later perhaps a 4.5mm or 5.5mm folding trunnion and polymer stock, will use a gunsmith for that modification.

    I do not like the the Maxim Defense Brace when shouldered 'incidentally', it bites into the cheek.

    It's gone.

    I really like the PDW design for it's compactness, counter balancing weight, ease of deployment and aesthetics.  Yep, I admit it just looks cool too.

    Perhaps I'll SBR immediately and try Maxim's CCS stock.

    That or just stick with the BCM Mod 0 Sopmod stock I originally planned to use.
