  1. My whole point was a gunstore dealer does not designate pistol vs rifle and once a rifle always a rifle, at least according to the ATF clan.
  2. A commercial gun manufacturer when asked by the Feds they legally have to report the serial number and whether the gun is a long gun/hand gun. Depending on its designation they go by that. If you custom make an Global trades used to ask if you want it reported as pistol or rifle. I know this from personal experience. Once they report it, its a done deal. If you make your own homemade gun, well then, the ATF falls back to the buttstock insertion rule, same goes with an AOW. The TC case in the Supreme Court only argued whether a kit was a constructive violation. As of now, pistol to
  3. Sorry Bro thats not true. see file below Where's the rest of the letter? Maybe so. Maybe next week, the revenuers'll send out another letter contradicting this one. The ATF does not make law. They interpret it, and judging from their track record, they interpret it differently just about every time they're asked. Vultite had it right. To the ATF, the manufacturer serial number and long gun/ handgun designation is what determines whether it is a long gun or hand gun. The FFL background check(yellow form) does not make that determination. If the ATF calls a ma
  4. Once a buttstock is attached, it can't become a pistol unless a tax stamp or proper licencing applies.
  5. I'm sure everyone will feel the same about inviting back Alliance Armament in 2 years when things might have become different with how they do business. I have heard a bunch of smack about them too I guess you can't trust anybody's experiences anymore.
  6. That thread might seem strange because it is a part two of an earlier thread. http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?showto...amp;hl=gunsmoke In the earlier thread of Feb 11 2006, the initial post was about myself calling CW at gunsmoke and asking him about his inventory of Saiga 12s that I was in the process of trying to order one from him. Tony Rumore had just began to warn about the barrel length problem on the new imports and I called gunsmoke about my concern. CW refused to check while I was on the phone with him and argued that this was some kind of BS rumor, implied I was lyin
  7. If you have a spare from a conversion, let me know through a PM.
  8. I do not currently own a .308 Saiga and I have not had the chance to inspect one up close, but from looking at pictures of conversions it appears to me that some of the conversions make use of a regular ak trigger guard that is normally used on a 7.62x39 version. If this is the case, will a saiga tech .308 trigger guard also fit on a x39 saiga? If the rivet holes are spaced the same on both versions it should work, but maybe someone with both types can confirm one way or another.
  9. I found the Tromix do it yourself screw in trigger guard for the s12 but can not find a rifle version. Thats exactly what I am looking for my x39 rifle.
  10. Theres a rip through the leg that was facing forward. I used to much torque to disattach the factory guard from the plate it was welded to. I have an extra replacement ak guard off of a military demil but prefer to use the factory mag catch base. Who sells a screw plate?
  11. I started to convert a x39 saiga and accidently ripped one of the trigger guard legs that touch the receiver. What is a good option if I want to leave the factory mag catch alone? Welding is not an option. I figure I need a replacement guard kind of like the tromix weld on ones but without needing to weld.
  12. The interior surface looks just like the barrel chamber inner surface. This is a cool benefit.
  13. Metal surefire mags as in surplus mags modified in Mexico interesting.
  14. Once the choke is set in place and cooling from the soldering process, your not going to be able to efficiently flush any kind of flux residue from the threads. A professional gunsmith with 30 years of experience silver soldered a choke in place on a shotgun he was selling me. A year later I saw major pitting and chipping in the bore right where the muzzle contacts the choke. This has never occured on any other shotgun I own with chokes, but they have never been silver soldered. I remember Tony Rumore a while back commenting about the corrosiveness of silver solder.
  15. I'm fairly certain that silver solder requies the use of flux. The issue with flux is that different fluxes have sodium, potassium, chlorine, and fluorine in them. The metal and nonmetal combination we know as salts will hold moisture on the surface of the steel. Fe + H2O = FeO + H2 Iron plus water=rust plus hydrogen gas Your muzzle area will slowly corrode and chip away as you fire the gun. Tig welding is a much better option with no ill effects.
  16. Came through as promised. I definitely would buy from him again.
  17. CheepJerokee posted that my recoil rod looks different than he has seen before. I can't seem to remember which was used often in past examples.
  18. What parts are different in your view? The spring rod looks different for sure.......ans the finish looks more of a parker, rather than painted. Thats just what I see from you pic. That pics of the whole weapon. Dimpled or not? Are the holes for the AK fire control group stamped inside? The recoil rod is wires instead of one piece. I checked it is paint. I'm not sure what you mean by holes stamped inside.
