  1. Not sure if this was brought up before, but I was watching a repeat of the show 'Sons of Guns' last night and they were using a bunch of Saiga 12's to make a gatling gun, and also a taser/shotgun combo. One of the example pieces he was using was a shortbarreled unit with a chaos rail, the Chaos logo was very well shown on TV.

     

    Very Cool!!!

     

    Again, if this is a repost, my apologies.

    Can't find the clip where the chaos logo is visible......

  2. I have an IOR 10 X 56 MP-8 on my Remi 700 (well, not on still waiting for the rings) and after some research found this to be a good long distance scope.

     

    What in the IOR line would be more suited to the Saiga, which obviously isn't the best (not saying it can't do it) for shooting super long distance?

     

    Also, since were on the subject, whoe sells a good selection of scope socks? This IOR is huge and none of the normal ones appear to be big enough.

     

    Thanks!

  3. It seems that there is a lot of mis-understanding here.

     

    We have 3 major issues going on here that seem to be overlapping and causing confusion

     

    1 - Buying American vs Foreign - This is largely opinion based, to truely answer this question, you can't use quality and price as deciding factors, it must be a fundamental decision, otherwise it is a price issue, or quality issue.

     

    2 - Preference - When someone says, "I swear by *insert company here*" there are some here that think, 'wow, this person has tried every comparable product available and likes this one best' as opposed to the true fact, that this person bought product x and likes it. Thats not so hard to believe. I really like my old BMW but that doesn't mean I've driven every other car of the same vintage, it just means I like it.

     

    3 - Perception of price vs quality - This is 100% opinion based. I may thing it is worth the extra $200 to by a product that I feel is 50% better than a competing product, but someone else may think the product is only 20% better and therefore not worth the $200 premium, and yet another person may feel it is only 20% better but it is still worth the $200 premium.

     

    So really we are all right on certain aspects and all wrong on others, we don't have to agree with you and just because someone does not agree with you doesn't mean you are wrong (unless of course you don't agree with me, then you ARE wrong :lolol: ) but yeah, everyone settly down, this thread just exemplifies why we need competition and free market. The less expensive foriegn parts keep the domestic prices down and the domestic quality keeps the quality of the foriegn stuff.

     

    I apologize for any gramatical or spelling errors.

  4. Yes, that thing is super cool.

     

    It takes the place of any flash hider or choke adapter correct? Wonder what sort of mods could be made to use this and another barrel attachment, maybe threading the barrel further, and screwing this further on? Looks like there is enough room between the end and the foregrip.

     

    In any case it is on the list.

     

    Thanks for the pics, the MAA ones kinda suck.

  5. Unfotunately I did not play enough with the preconverted saiga, so I'm not certain how the safety 'used' to work.

     

    If I have the safety off (down), I can pull the bolt back and load the chamber, then I can fire. If I pull the bolt back, let it go forward, then move the safety lever up, I can still fire. If I have the safety closed, pull the bolt back to the safety point, I can still fire.

     

    Fire, in all these cases meaning I can pull the trigger and the hammer springs.

     

    Is this correct?

  6. A question -

    Fire, in all these cases meaning I can pull the trigger and the ammer springs.

     

    Is this correct?

  7. So, last night I finished assembling the 308 with the parts I have. I attached a pre converted pic and 3 post conversions.

     

    I'm temporarily happy with the handguard, but will be looking for something different. I like the stock, but think I'm going to get a rear plug and a folder attachment and a more conventional skeleton or AR style stock. The angle that the tapco sits bothers me.

     

    I decided to weld and grind the TG, which I think functionally is great, but you can see my grinding marks. I'm hoping once it gets blasted and duracoated (sometime in the future) it will look better.

     

    I'm still playing with the different grip options on the CAA PG, but I really like it.

     

    All in All I'm happy with my work, first time really dissassembling and reassembling a gun, much less an AK. Got the assembly back together in about 20 mins, with BHO. The worst part was that it was almost a month since dissassembly, and I forgot the instructions at work.

     

    I also want to get the barrel cut down and add a flash hider, probably a krebs reail with scope as well.

     

    Next on the block though is my S-12 that I got a couple days ago. Going to start ordering parts for that and try some different things and then revisit the .308.

     

    Really glad I found this site and you guys were all a great help.

     

    Glad to be here.

  8. See this post: http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?showtopic=42976

     

    I had the exact same problem fitting that CAA grip to a 7.62. Details of my fix in that thread.

     

    That is exactly my problem Thanks!

     

    I'm not sure it is as big of a space as you show, so I'm going to try to grind a little more off my grip nut before I go through the trouble of making the washer, but a really good idea if it comes to that.

     

    I mostly wanted to make sure I wasn't doing something totally wrong, or missing a step some where.

     

    Thanks guys!

  9. U jost happen to get a pg bolt that wasnt threaded enough ive gotten a couple of them.

     

    I don't think thats the problem (not positive) nor do I think the washer trick will help.

     

    When I tighten the bolt down the bottom of the head is digging into the plastic (where the head should seat), it's like the square protrusion of the grip nut is longer than the well in the grip, so The most obvious solution is to grind down the grip nut, but I'm not sure that is wise or recomended.

  10. Still in the midst of my conversion (haven't had much time and my welder gas ran out).

     

    I was test fitting my grip with the grip nut:

    http://store.carolinashooterssupply.com/se...-47-AK47/Detail

     

    And I couldn't get it to tighten down. I could tell everything was bottomed out but I couldn't get it to snug up, it's as if the grip nut is too tall. Is it normal to have to grind that down?

     

    Thanks!

  11. I know, no such thing as a dumb question.

     

    I'm really bad at serching and couldn't find the answer spelled out so I can understand it.

     

    What can we shoot out of our S-12's?

     

    Slugs?

    Shot only, what size?

     

    Thanks for the help.

     

    Bob

     

    (I'm converting my saiga .308 right now, and waiting for deliver of the 12, so not a total newb)
