[Saiga 12 Adjustable gas block and detent]

If you search "saiga adjustable gas plug" you will see CSS who sells an aftermarket one that is nice, and another company that sells an autoplug which doesn't need as much adjustment

[izhmash saiga 12 5rd mag]

Probably around $40

[Epoxy for rebuilding front of mag]

First texture it with a soldering iron to make it rough, and then add the epoxy.  Go bigger than you need and grind it down for fit.  It will work for filling space but it won't be reliable for structural strength

[Under Handguard Rail on Saiga 12 SBS]

If the grip mounts to a picatinny rail, I would just mount a short section of rail under the handguard with recessed screws and nuts.  If that is not possible, post a picture of the handguard and I can advise further

[Default Choke on Saiga 12?]

It depends on which version of S12, the earlier ones with the long barrel were full choke with no threads

[Russian Saiga 12 LRBHO NIB value?]

It's around $1,200

[question about Saiga-12]

If you do a search on here you can find most of that.  Also, I think it will fire folded

Thanks, I was actual able to find someone that mades Saiga 12 receivers.

Who is that?

[Advice: How much should I sell S-12 for?]

Maybe around $650

[What parts will become hard to find]

The things that will be hard to find are already hard to find.  Basically anything specific to S12 that can't be adapted from an AK rifle

[Building a Saiga 12, what reciever?]

It won't match up exactly with a rifle receiver, but with modifications it should be possible to build.  I think a 1.5mm receiver would be a good starting point.

[Problems inserting magazine]

It is not unusual for mags to need fitting.  You have to figure out where the interference is and file off a little bit.  Just do a little bit at a time.   When you get it to lock in place with some effort, stop there because it will loosen up over time and you don't want it to be too loose.

If it will not work as-is it shouldn't take much fitting.

Yeah, I part of the mag release will be behind the sight lever lock, but it is the thin part so it should work

[Saiga 12 Conversion: Magwells?]

If your are saying that the mag inserts all the way and seats properly, you can stop.  But more likely that you will have to continue hogging out until you match the interior boundaries of the magwell

[Saiga 12 Conversion: Magwells?]

You do have to hog it out to the full interior boundaries of the magwell.  It is scary, but people have done it and it works

 

If you look around on here, there are examples of people who have done it

[Advice on how to actually mount AK handguards to my KS12]

You have to start with the retainers that you can buy for AK handguards and then severely modify them with dremmeling and cutting, fabricate mounting clips or tabs etc, then do TIG welding, detail grinding and finishing.

If you look around on here, you find examples of guns that people have done.  You could also contact a guy named Dinzag, he has manufactured some of the parts.  At one time, he had a bolt-on kit.

It's actually not hard, it is just a lot of detail work, like building a model airplane or something

[Duplicating new style barrel hood on old barrel]

On 1/14/2021 at 11:05 AM, evlblkwpnz said:

Don't overthink it. Extend what you have. Maintain that angle at the rear, then file the notch. The only part of it that is very critical is the original angle as it initiates and times bolt rotation at lockup. Exact notch dimensions are not critical. Eyeball it reasonable close will work just fine. Good luck with your project, and yes, it is a mod worth doing. I include it standard on Evl Grade builds.

Thanks bro.  So TIG welding is strong enough in this application?

[Duplicating new style barrel hood on old barrel]

Somebody with this type of barrel hood, can you please measure this dimension?

[Saiga 12 Conversion: Magwells?]

I don't think the magwell will interfere with a folding stock.  The SGM magwell will work better with some mags over others, you would have to search on here for what others have tried that worked.  Most mags can be modified to work in the magwell.  Also, the magwell mags like the VEPR12 will work, although anything you do will require some fitting

[Ks12 issues]

There is a gas puck in there, it is like an intermediate gas piston to cycle the bolt.  A regular AK doesn't have that.  So it could be that had been stuck before with dried grease and you just loosened it up.  Why not just take off the gas plug and pull out the puck and see if that was it.

[Lynx 12]

You will first grind off the rivets holding your old trunnion in, and if the new underfolder trunnion is designed to fit that gun, they should have holes lined up with your receiver holes.  If they don't, you would drill new holes in your trunnion to line up with your receiver holes.  Don't drill new holes in your receiver

[Saiga 12 trigger forward mod]

These guns should always be restored to their original AK design.  The "sporter" importation configuration is goofy and an embarrassment, and nobody wants that.  It's also easy to do and parts are available, so there is nothing to stop you

[Muzzle Shroud too long now]

The shroud is cosmetic, so maybe just forget it?  Put a brake or flash hider on instead

[3D printable saiga 12 magazine.]

It is amazing that those parts hold up but the geometry of that is different and the forces have more dampening.  With the magazine, the geometry of it relative to the recoil and the shockwave having no dampening, it puts the material is at a big disadvantage
