I got in a car wreck and had to call it a day after finally realizing my 'self' wasn't coming back. I'm not the same physical and intellectual resource I used to be and that's ok, nothing lasts forever. I'm not aware of anyone specializing in them anymore. It's a shame. I planned on doing it at least another 30 years but someone else had other ideas 🙃

The parts on these guns are not all that sensitive to welding. I've welded all over them, never had one of my own fail anywhere and in 9 years never had a customer send anything back for failure. Weld your heart out, barrel and all. For welding up ports I had a tight fitting aluminum plug with a hole drilled in it for some all-thread, and would stick it in the barrel, weld up the ports, and machine or file it back down depending on whether or not it would be seen. For drilling the ports in the same spot, an abrasive diamond coated Dremel bit can be used to make the port. If you have some expen

$90 for a non-chrome lined barrel that is usable is still a great deal

.22 Magnum twist rate?
evlblkwpnz replied to Squeaky's topic in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!
I looked at CZ's site and they use 1/16. They know what they are doing when it comes to an accurate rimfire. I haven't been around much, I hope things are going great for you. -
It is probably the Galil style Handguard. Really, as short as that gun already is why not just grip the mag as a vert grip? When a vert grip comes loose on something that short there is a much higher likelihood of shooting your support hand.

I have wondered about you know and then. Aside from the chinese flu I hope you are doing great. -
I never tried the JTE magwell. I did try the TAC47 magwell and it worked pretty good, but wasn't a fan of the mag catch design. Nothing compares to the V12 magwell and factory V12 mags.

Factory V12 probably wouldn't work with the JTE unit, but SGM mags will if you remove the front lug and do whatever he (Travers RIP) suggested as mod for regular S12 mags in use with that magwell. Expect to do a lot of filing/sanding and fitting on all mags to make them drop free easily if you desire that. I'd hack it up and run a V12 magwell on it if it were me. It is an invasive process though.

saiga 12 with factory magwells

I wonder what that looked like from the factory. That's a wild one. -
saiga 12 with factory magwells
evlblkwpnz replied to gwc656g's topic in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!
That's funky. I have never seen one like this in the US. I will admit my interests are fairly narrow though. I like that plain old IZ-109, they have incredible reliability potential compared to other detachable mag-fed 12 guage shotguns. The KS-12/Komrad is a winner too. -
If it will not work as-is it shouldn't take much fitting.

saiga 12 with factory magwells
evlblkwpnz replied to gwc656g's topic in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!
You are referring to the 030/IZ-433. You might make Saiga-12 mags work in it if the front lug is removed, but it really wouldn't be practical. The factory mags that came with them are very rare and usually very expensive. You would be best off going with some factory V12 mags or CSSpecs mags and fitting the mag catch for the mags vs fitting the mags to the gun. With minor fitting of the mag catch Vepr-12 mags will work perfectly. Anyway, the 030/IZ-433 are much higher quality builds than the Vepr-12 and they do have a couple of advantages that yield increased reliability potential. -

Duplicating new style barrel hood on old barrel
evlblkwpnz replied to pedal2alloy's topic in Saiga-12
I'm not a TIG expert, by far, but if you get good penetration I don't see why it wouldn't be adequate since it is not subject to much stress in normal operation. Don't get it too hot. I had a meltdown on the first one I did and had to rebuild it. Wasted a lot of time, but it looked like nothing happened and never failed. You will learn something whether it goes good or bad. -
Duplicating new style barrel hood on old barrel
evlblkwpnz replied to pedal2alloy's topic in Saiga-12
Don't overthink it. Extend what you have. Maintain that angle at the rear, then file the notch. The only part of it that is very critical is the original angle as it initiates and times bolt rotation at lockup. Exact notch dimensions are not critical. Eyeball it reasonable close will work just fine. Good luck with your project, and yes, it is a mod worth doing. I include it standard on Evl Grade builds. -

Sagia 12 ver.30
evlblkwpnz replied to Capt Nemo's topic in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!
Maybe I'm missing a few things but I fail to see what is uobtanium about it. Functionally, A Vepr-12 can be made close enough and an IZ-433 can be nearly dead identical. Maybe l am too utilitarian. -

JTS M12AK Handguards
evlblkwpnz replied to Kiddy Kane's topic in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!
Saiga-12 is 1.5mm too. The bulged receiver (around the trunnion) is the main design difference in the V12 and S12 receivers. Saiga rifles had 1.0 thick receivers as well as most rifle varants.. OP, I haven't handled any of the JTS product yet, but it looks to have the same front handguard retainer width as an AKM. You should email me. I will send measurements of a couple of handguards and you can compare it with what you have to shed some light on your options. evlutionz@yahoo.com -
These 1/6 scale trucks are fast and way more force is exerted on these than would be seen on a magazine. They sell and they hold up better than the factory A arms. People raise hell with them.
