  1. The bag is nice. Pretty tight for this gun, but much better than the $10 rifle and shotgun bags they sell at Bass.
  2. I hope it's a good deal, because it's the one I took.
  3. I've cut thin aluminum with it before. I used it to make a splitter. It zips right through, and you would be surprised how nice the finish is. When I bought the saw, it came with about 2 dozen Corian blades. They have a lot of small teeth and make great cuts. I have a dry cut saw made for metal, but it's not really necessary for aluminum, and I would lose the big advantage of the miter track, which will let me make a perfectly straight cut, with no danger of catching the mount and slinging it the way a dry saw can. I think this is the way to go. It's extremely precise, and it will give
  4. I'll post pics if it works. If not, I'll pretend it never happened.
  5. I have all the stuff ordered for my Saiga conversion. Today I realized I had nothing to stick the laser on, so I ordered a UTG quick-release AK scope mount. The problem with this thing is that it has a rail on the left, which is great for a laser, but it also has a rail up top, in the way of the sights. I don't know much about shotguns, but I can't imagine a reason for scoping one, so I want that top rail OFF. I tried to find a mount that only had a rail on the left, but they don't exist. I guess that's because most AK scopes are for rifles, and rifle shooters want scopes directly over the
  6. If I could do (or hire) the kind of TIG welding I need, I would have gotten a back plate.
  7. Tromix stock with Limbsaver, 2 8-round Surefire magazines, Tromix FCG (because I read the others need work to fit a Saiga), Magnolia adaptor, SAW pistol grip. May have ordered a folding thingamajig. I forget.
  8. Thank you. Wish you guys had a shorter backlog. You should send Obama a fruit basket or something.
  9. Anyone know if the Magnolia trigger guard is the same as the Tromix? I'd much rather buy online than spend an hour of my life getting a money order for Saigatech, followed by four days in the US Mail.
  10. Oh, God. I have to stand in line at the post office to get a MONEY ORDER to get a Saigatech trigger guard. In half an hour, this guy could get together with his host company and set up a proper site with a shopping cart.
  11. This is exactly the kind of information I needed. I would never figure this stuff out on my own. Thanks. And thanks to the next poster for the Magnolia suggestion. I can't get a Tromix trigger guard right now, so I guess I'll get Saigatech in steel. I can blue steel so it will match the gun.
  12. You know more about it than I do. After reading a post from the Tromix guys, I was under the impression that you get a nicer end product if you use a welded back plate.
  13. I want it done right eventually, but for now, I just want it to work. If I can get an adaptor for now and then have the gun welded at a later date, using the same stock, that would be perfectly acceptable.
  14. I live in Miami, where there is virtually no such thing as skilled labor. We have a huge population of hard-working immigrants, and their wonderful "can do" attitude has resulted in a strong economy, but it has also left us with a lot of tradesmen who have very limited skills, because they basically jumped off the boat and started businesses in order to feed their families and stay off welfare. Miami construction is sloppy. Electricians are barely competent. Etcetera. I would be terrified to let anyone down here do substantial work on a gun I owned. For that reason, I don't think it will
  15. I have a Saiga 12. I'd like to end up with a nice professional-quality conversion. Pistol grip, trigger moved, holes sealed, folding stock for transport and storage, and refinish. That's about all I need. I contacted a well-known conversion outfit, and it will be four or five months before I can get the work done. I assume they have a wait list, so I can send it in shortly before they need it, but I don't know. I have an inquiry in their email box right now. I don't want to be stuck with a Clintonized abortion for four months. Is it possible to fix one of these things up on your own,
