  1. Well you aren't going to like my answer, but if you want it done right and don't have the skills or equipment to do it yourself I would send it to one of the many vendors that support this site and do this for a living. I have built many a saiga12 conversion, built my own krinkovs, and SBS's over the years. Its a lot of work to do it right. If you are happy screwing on parts to your gun then there are a lot of kits and parts to do so. I have done it myself when I started in this game, but if you put your DYI gun next to a professional builder there really isn't any comparison. Some people don'
  2. Z and I helped develop the Autoplug with Keith a few years ago, and as unbiased as I can be, the thing just works. What we realized as we were working and testing the Autoplug was that it could get some guns to cycle that were on the edge of reliability. My own personnel 10" SBS was a little finicky with 7.5 shot low brass on either of the stock plug settings as the gun was just a little under gassed. With the autoplug installed we just keep cranking down on the adjustment screw until the gun cycled reliably, eventually we took the gas block off and opened the gas ports a little more but the a
  3. Here is one I shot a few days ago, its a nice little shooter but I prefer my SLR 107ur to the M92. Sunny that girl in your avatar will live on forever, that gif will be floating around the web for enternatiy.
  4. Talked to my examiner the other day and he said they reboot the system 4 times a day, if you log on right after the reboot you will have no problems, as time goes by it gets worse and worse the more people that long on. And it's not just our end that it affects, my examiner said that many times a day he can't do a thing due to such high demand on system. I bought a couple of suppressors the other day and it took the guys several days before they could log on and eform them. Now imagine how Obama care is going to fuck up your lives, it is obvious that they can't get this little system to work a
  5. If you do a little reasearch on this forum and I think in this NFA section Tromix almost does a step by step of how to build an 8" SBS. duh very first thread in this forum!
  6. An "E-Form" is when you digitally send in your Trust, Corporation or whatever along with your Form 1 or 4. You pay the tax with a credit card. From what I understand the wait time decreases from 12 months+ to 90 - 120 days. I will be doing a few of htese and see how it works for me. Exactly, and best yet you can track the form online, the form goes pending as soon as the credit card payment is received. What was real cool is they email you when the status has changed, I had 9 emails hit my phone over the course of two hours telling me the status had changed to approved. Whats weird is it
  7. Well I hate to say it but the Eforms is the shit! I sent 9 eforms between September and October and they are all approved and back in record time. 4months from the time they were done online till they hit my mailbox. It has never been that quick and I have been doing the NFA game for 4-5 years.
  8. Here is how it is configured and what work was performed by RandR Targets: Asking $3000.00 plus Shipping, Shotgun is located in Texas Modifications: -Weld/fill in holes in the receiver and mill new slots for the safety,magazine release and stock adapter -Weld/fill in the original gas ports in the barrel -Mill in new gas ports for a shortened gas system -Shorten the gas system and polish/fit -Mill gas ports for the compensator -Ream the forcing cone for more uniform shot and less felt recoil -Cut barrel so there are no threads on the exterior end -Cut and thread barrel to accept Remington choke
  9. Well I am assuming you are competing in 3Gun, if so you are classified as open. You would be crazy not to run a magwell if you are serious about doing well. I tried running my Saiga as is because I felt very proficient in mag changes until I saw my friend do a mag change with his R&R Saiga inside of 2 seconds. LRBHO aside, you are still fighting the rock and lock magazine design which will cost you seconds. Plus if you are counting rounds you aren't fully focused on the stage, I never count rounds I just look at the stage and plan my mag changes based on how the stage is laid out.
  10. Uhh...only thing that will work is a Lathe although that may be a bit more than $80 ......
  11. Yeah I was thinking the same thing just didn't want to give the guy a hard time. My thought was he could pull an un-used maxi-pad out of his purse and tape it to his shoulder before shooting. Just kidding and having a little fun no offense intended!
  12. Don't kid yourself, a better quality rail well absolutely makes a difference. When FTE's happen after installing a rail system on your weapon it's because the percussion wave throughout the weapon has been altered. Meaning something has changed in the way the weapon reacts to the harmonics from the sonic forces traveling through the weapon. When a weapon starts to FTE after putting a rail on it's because something was close to failing (rubbing, binding) in the first place. In slow motion you can see how a weapon twist, bounces up, down and moves side to side. Better built rail can reduce or at
  13. I found this out about 4-5 years ago with a buddies S12, no offense but it was a Chaos rail so don't kid yourself that a better rail will solve the problem. Like I said then, I think the issue is the alignment of the gun more than the rail, the rail just stiffens the gun to the point that it won't flex enough to cycle properly.
  14. Yep an SBS is in the works with a folding stock, looks real good so far. They will be logging them in over the next couple of days and shipping.
  15. Called who? Robert at R&R or Jim at Firebird?
  16. Dreadnaught is your best bet, I have seen the new Firebird on several guns and lets say I am skeptical that it does much. I was told they would be for sale in about a month, that was 9 months ago. I have seen several at the 3 gun matches and I don't see how they could do much at all, they just basically blow gas out of the port holes at a 45 degree angle. The R&R forces gas forward and then backwards through a baffle system, in my opinion it is much more effective. I wish they were for sale! The Dreadnaught is ugly as hell but looks like it is similar to the R&R in gas venting.
  17. I don't think that is correct, I don't think he will sell the comp separate from his built shotgun. I tried to buy one for my 3 gun rig and he wouldn't do it, I think I even asked if I sent him the gun would he install it, it was a no go.
  18. I want a free conversion! On this 4th of July I am burning 100 dollar bills by the pool watching 50 cent videos rejoicing in the passing of Obamacare by Scotus. I needs me a free conversion by Tac47 because they are the best damn Saiga gunsmiths on the planet! Hook a gangsta up yo!
  19. The autoplug will not make your gun cycle better, if you are maxing out your other plug just to shoot low brass I think you may have problems with the autoplug. The beauty of the autoplug is that once you dial in the gun to run birdshot no other changes are needed to run slugs and high brass. I would do a gas service and then install the autoplug, with the lighter spring and the maxed out V-plug you are way under gassed.
  20. I have bought many barrels, parts kits and guns from them with never a problem.
  21. Try using an Tac47 autoplug, I think you will find it blows a whole bunch of that crap out the vent holes and it will let you adjust out any over-gassing you are experiencing. I have an SBS that is over-gassed and I thought I was going to need the holes welded up and re-drilled until I slipped an autoplug on the gun. Now the gun runs super clean and no over gassing at all, as a matter of fact I can back the autoplug off until the gun won't cycle at all.
  22. Well you may already have one but the biggest way to reduce felt recoil is a mid barrel compensator. I shoot my non mid barrel comp race gun back to back with the R&R race gun my buddy owns and there is a significant difference. I don't see a huge difference in times until we shoot over 5-6 to targets in a row say a plate rack.
  23. I think Cobra sells a really nice choke adapter, check the vendor section.
