Anyone know when the next sale is?

FINALLY shot gun today.
Functions perfectly with bulk ammo bird shot: federal, estate, and Winchester.
Fired no less than a full mag of 5 at a time (rapid fire) as fast as we could pull the trigger)
It did have a hull fail to fully eject (got caught halfway out with bolt half closed) after the last shot but That's not a big deal to me. Very very fun to shoot.
Link to video of friend shooting it.

Ended up grinding off most of the nub off the back of the disconnector so I could install the safety after the trigger group.
Trigger is working now with axis plate installed. I'll test fire tomorrow hopefully.
-
Well the gun fired as a single shot. It would feed the next shell but hammer wouldn't reset.
My disconnector (whatever its called that goes inside the trigger) has a tail (not sure what else to call it) pointing towards the rear of the receiver. One side of the hammer spring was getting caught on the tail of the disconnector. Once I reinstalled the trigger group WITHOUT the spring caught on the tail it now seems to cycle (dry fire) properly.
Before I did this the trigger wouldn't reset if I pressed the trigger to the rear and held it down while racking the slide.
I'll get the axis plate in on friday night and then try and shoot off a few round to test it out this weekend.
Then on to the gas issues.

What CSS magazines are you referring to? I didn't see them on their site when I placed my order yesterday.Thanks.Nevermind, figured it out
-
CSS doesn't stock those screws although they did give me some suggestions. I'll look in the junk box.
-
Ordered the axis plate, Tromix bolt on handle, and some plugs to fill those holes.
If the gun fires tomorrow (I'm assuming it should be on setting 2 with birdshot?) then I'm going to order an MD drum and the tac47 plug.
Also, the stock has neither of the two screws. :/
Now to find some screws.
-
Good idea with the pin.
The hammer pin keeps walking out a little bit when cycling the gun I noticed. It doesn't back out all the way from the frame, it just backs out enough that you can see the "large" side of the pin head is out of its hole in the receiver.
Edit: no axis retaining plate. Someone really didn't know what they were doing with this conversion.
Good thing this was cheap.

Got the gun today. Anyone know what that silver pin is that's sticking out the side of the Front gas block?
Also, this is one of the ones that had a short barrel extension welded on. Can I just cut the welds and remove it and install a muzzle device? If it's going to be difficult I could always have someone cut it down several inches and pin a monster brake on there if anyone knows someone that does that.
Thanks guys.
-
I'll find your Facebook page. Thanks for the heads up.
-
That definitely looks like the windage drum.
For some reason I was thinking it was just from the welding (as I know nothing about welding) but it can't be anything but the windage drum haha.
He still hasn't shipped it. I'll chime in when it gets here.
I'm going to get the tac47 plug for $49 in the store and maybe an MD20 drum as well.
-
I'll have to see how well it works out with this short of a sight radius. I have had mojos on a Mosin Nagant years ago.
-
I don't know if I want a peep sight on a shotgun haha.
-
I will let you know when it gets here. It looks like the dinzag replacement bolt on rear sight block and handguard retainer with the dinzag lower handguard retainer. Then they welded on the top ears of a front sight base.
I guess that's nice to find out that I have at least $300 in parts there haha.

Yup. Probably won't be able to turn it by hand. If you got the little wrench looking tool with it, hold it sideways across the slots in the plug to simultaneously push the button in and then rotate it. #1 is for full power heavy loads (slugs, buck and turkey loads), #2 is for low power light weight loads.
I agree with Gunfun, look into getting an Autoplug.
Your lower hand guard retainer is ummm interesting and so is the gas block pin that looks to be a home jobber. Overall, definitely a "unique" bit of work done to it, by whomever.
Thanks for saying it nicely haha.
I think someone did a bit of a hack job to it then the guy I'm getting it from did his best to fix it. Hopefully it's nothing I can't fix myself or leave as is. I will try and fix that pin sticking out of the gas block.

Ok, so that little button on the front gas block can be pressed down and the system put on different settings?
I was given very little information about this gun so I really do appreciate all your answers!
-
Thanks for the reply.
What does rock and lock mean?
Can I still throw a CSS or MD arms adjustable puck in there or should I just leave if it shoots fine?
-
Also, I was told that this is one of the guns that came in with too short of a barrel so an extension is welded on? It's difficult to see what's going on there in the picture.
I wouldn't mind cutting it down and welding on a monster brake or something.
-
Here's another pic of the sight. And another pic.
Thanks.

Just bought this Saiga 12, it should be arriving this week. Can anyone tell me about it?
Is there anything wrong with it, anything I need to change, any suggested upgrades?
It only comes with the one magazine so I'll probably order an MD drum to go with it.
Will a magpul Zhukov stock fit this?
Thanks guys!

I use the SOG one that Buzzkillin posted. It absolutely rocks.

i just got my utg ak47 quad rail(not the saiga specific one)in today and its awesome. The option to put what ever you want on it is great, but most importantly the ergonomics of it is the best. I think with the rail covers on it it feels better to ME than my saiga does with the K-var ak 103 handguard on it. Not putting down the k-var handguard but to ME the utg feels better. By the way the K-var ak 103 US made handguard is great too. +1 on the utg JMHO
Did you have to get the bolt on retainer and a new gas tube to fit the shorter quad rail?
-
Well, I'm considering one of the complete kits from Carolina, with the adapter and everything. Just wondering if anyone had one and if they liked it. I've got got a wild hair up my ass about just saying screw and going with the complete trigger and grip conversion.
And yes, same guy as the original poster, just linked my Facebook account here on the home PC.
Why don't you buy directly from ACE? They sell a longer version of the same skeleton stock we are talking about on their webisite I believe. They also have extended buttpads and even some spacers for sale in their clearance section on riflestocks.com
No I don't work for them:P
-
Anyone out there happen to use either the ACE or the DPH skeleton stock set from Carolina Shooters Supply? I'm looking at picking up one of the ACE set to replace the factory stock and just wondered if anyone could give me a thumbs up or thumbs down, and maybe a picture.
Check out the 7.62x39 picture thread in the sub forum right above this one. A picture of mine is on the last page.
I love it. You will too.
New Saiga 12, anything I need to know?
in Saiga-12

Update: I had sold this shotgun for a few months, bought it back this week.
Installed a Zhukov stock and found an MD drum.
Now trying to find someone to install a new muzzle device of some sort and/or give me a quote on an SBS conversion.
