  1. I am another happy Salem 6 forearm user. Haven't had any to compare it to except the factory one. i like it, my Magpul MVG clamped right up to it. Light weight and seems well made. The price is right.
  2. I actually laughed out loud.......It's a good thing we all have a good sense of humor.
  3. I think it is awesome that the first guy that pointed out that his red dot was backwards, has been running his own rear BUIS backwards Lots of smiles, it's a joke
  4. My opinion....... If you are going to use an ACE style FOLDING MECHANISM, go with the Tromix, if you are going to use an AR/M4 style stock without a folding mechanism, go with Salem 6 or T&N. In my humble opinion, the Salem 6 one is a little more pleasing to the eye. Not saying that matters. I went with the Tromix one, and an ACE folding mechanism that is made to directly attach a buffer tube to. No pignose needed. I have considered going to a non-folding set up....if I do, I plan to order the Salem 6 AR/M4 stock plate.
  5. Looks good. On the stock adapter.........is the receiver with no adapter ready to attach a Ace style stock/folder, etc......and you need the adapter to use an AR style stock? Looks good. Thank you for doing new things! Keep the price down please, so I can afford one
  6. I received the TAT (Thread alignment tool) before receiving the Die that I ordered from a different supplier. Looking at the diameter of the TAT compared to the outside diameter of the newly shortened barrel.....it looks like the barrel is on the large side of the range to thread for 22mm. I have a feeling I would end up ruining a perfectly good muzzle without looking at options to turn it down. Info I read earlier made me think it could be threaded without turning the diameter down. Fail on that one. I also ordered the russian style short flash hider made for the saiga. What I en
  7. Just an update for anyone that may have interest. Some ammo that ran with the full length barrel no longer functions with the 18.25" barrel. This ammo seemed to be right on the verge of working/not working.....now it doesn't work for sure. No loss, I have tested lots of ammo and still have 3 loads that work great that are under $7 a box, and 2 more that are at the $9/$10 a box range. More to come as I get my tooling to thread the muzzle.
  8. No, it's a registered SBR with a folding stock that is folded to the right. But, thank you for your concern. I have a few tax stamps for SBRs. Very nice! Now that you mention it, I see the stock. Didn't even think to look for a folder on an AR. That's a bufferless .22 kit of some kind? Correct....when you run the .22 kit (mine is a stainless steel CMMG) you don't need the buffer and buffer tube because nothing extends past the rear of the lower....actually nothing extends past the rear of the upper. It is an older picture. i have changed the configuration a bit. And, thank you!
  9. Me again......guess I am doing it myself. I am excited! I ordered a Die, die handle and thread alignment tool. Just FYI, I have done lots of threading on my lathe and by hand, I just haven't done anything this large by hand. We will see. If it turns out good, I will post my finished product. If it doesn't, I will run and hide and never be seen again
  10. I made the decision to cut the barrel to 18.25" It is currently about 1/8" longer, so I have some extra room for cleaning up the muzzle. Turns out the facing tool I have is only .750" Diameter, so I will be ordering a larger 1" facing tool.....of course, they are currently out of stock at midway. Now i just need to decide if I want to thread it externally for saiga threads, or just face it off and leave it. Unless of course the barrel gets thicker at the 18" point than it is at 14". no, I didn't miss that. I am not planning on cutting it any shorter than 18.25" Yes, it

  12. I did read that one, even posted in it. It wasn't really a help with my questions.
  13. Hello, I am new to the MKA 1919, but recently purchased one and have done all the great mods. I just wish it had a shorter barrel, but have too many options floating around in my head, and have already spent mucho $$ to get the gun to it's present state. Here are the options that are going through my head and the positive and negatives of them: 1. Leave it alone...........P = No added costs, has a choke. N = Wish it was shorter. 2. Cut it to 18.25" crown the barrel......P = I can do this for free, I get the shorter look. N = I have no choke. 3. Cut it to 18.25", and hav
  14. That is very helpful! Thank you. Nice shotty by the way!
  15. I have looked at your adaptors on your website, but cannot figure out what choke they are? Can I assume it is just cylinder bore? For me, personally, I would like the adaptor to be as short as needed. Having just enough threads on the outside of the barrel to screw into the shroud. I assume that would be somewhere between 1/2"-3/4". They make a slightly shorter shroud for the Saigas that use an adjustable gas plug. I assume this shroud would fit perfectly. I plan/want to order your adaptor, but curious about what the current length would be, and also what the choke is. Thanks!
