Do you have a military AK100 kit I could buy? Only thing really holding me up from my conversion.
Edit to clarify: I’m looking for a military AK100 series rear folding trunnion only. Since it seems no one has modded a civilian version, it’s not looking like a good idea to try and I want the shotty to fire folded.
Where are you?
I have installed both the military and civilian kits. The weapon will fire when folded no matter which kit you have. The kits do not come with the linkage for the 'no folded fire' feature.

It is likely about 19-3/16". There really isn't much to gain there without going SBS. I'd leave it as-is. If you are just bored and pretty good with your hands maybe it is worth it, but it definitely wouldn't be worth it to pay someone else to do it.

I am not aware of anything that would be an easy install. Finally, I got to see a Tromix 8" SBS intimately and I was replacing the handguard with a bobbed Tapco unit. It was a lot of work, but turned out good. The customer wanted some rails and didn't want to modify the original handguard. Not my style, but I thought it looked at home with the SAW grip and 8 rounder.

Here in the US, at least, the AK100 kits don't even come with the 'no fire when folded' linkage. The kit installs just like the military version.

Nice mag dumps! Great little gun evlblkwpnz!
That was actually the first customer who let me do Evl Grade as it is supposed to be. It turned out so nice I made a banner of it and it is the center piece in my showroom.

That was when my hands were still good. I hope I can get back there someday.

They are. The left keeps breeding gun owners with their nonsense. The whole nation is frosty.

Sounds like his gun already runs phenomenally. I'm not sure what the problem is.

It's not bashing if it's true and high quality work is expensive, so
Exactly. Thank you, Sir.

Thanks for the tip 🙄. I checked Westlaw and Lexis/Nexus for standalone 922R cases for individuals and couldn't find a one. That's not to say they don't exist, but I didn't want to waste any more of time to validate what I already knew from extensive reading about it and previous research.
What I did find, however, is (#1) the link to your own website in your signature doesn't work and appears to be for sale:
http://www.http.com//evlutionz.com
(#2) in the handful of posts at the AK Files 37 in 7 years (with a literal 2-year break until recently) in addition to your posts here (6.6K) you come across as preoccupied, obsessed even, with bashing other vendors which is (#3) a not so thinly veiled attempt to drive business towards yourself which is (#4) laughable, considering #1. I get it, you win the Big Fish, small pond award. The work I have seen you do is top notch, which is what I'd expect from the exorbitant prices you charge (compared to some of the other vendors you're trying to malign), but with that being said I personally wouldn't ask you what time it was in a clock factory and give you a thin dime of my hard earned money because of #1-4...
Pauly, is that you? If so, I hope things are going great for you.
I don't agree with your opinions, but you are entitled to them. Understand me, you will not damage my business no matter what you say or do. You didn't make me and you definitely will not break me. My Father gave me this business. My customers pay what I charge for what I do because the difference has no equal and is absolutely measurable. I pour out my heart in these builds and the customer can see and feel the love in it. I do have more basic service offerings, but few want that. You are free to have whoever you want to do your work, brother, I hope your build goes great and exceeds your expectations. You just aren't my customer and I'm fine with that. I'm not your shop, but you are angry and I can't understand it. Vote with your wallet, my friend. We all have our tastes and desires and some people want something really nice, well built, something that looks like the craftsman cared about it, and something that they know for sure runs great before they get it. I have raised prices many times to try and slow the flow of work, but it never works and I have given up. God bless you. I hope you can decide to be happy and have an outstanding day. Smile, brother, it's ok.
My website? I think it is obvious that I am not concerned with it, lol. It has been down for weeks and I'm over it. I own the domain and many many others. When things settle down a bit, I will have it rebuilt and hosted elsewhere. I have no time to deal with it and it hasn't effected the flow of new inquiries. That crappy website didn't make me either
In the spirit of outrageous pricing...

I think it did lock, but there was something different about it.

The front latch isn't all that hard. The work at the rear is where most people make their mistakes. You will do fine if you are actually going slow enough to measure things and think about what you are doing.

Ouch. Maybe I'll get lucky and someone has an oem barrel laying around from a upgrade
Email me and give me some detail about what is wrong with the barrel. I may ask you to text me some pics. I have spare barrels. Maybe we can work out a trade/cash deal. evlutionz@yahoo.com

S17 8" SBS usually goes for $2k to $2.5k or so. I'd be surprised if anyone bit at a starting bid of $1600 on a non-SBS, right now. You never know though. He's not making anymore as far as I know and Russian guns that are unmodified or well built are getting a bit scarce. However, Kalashnikov USA and SDS are making the scarcity of Russian Saiga-12s a non-issue. Start it at the minimum you would take for it. If it doesn't sell then you might be forced to sit on it or lower it. To further throw a wrench in things there are a lot of people who have zero fun money right now. Good luck with the sale.

My understanding is MD Arms is no longer making their drum so the only way to buy one would be used/secondary market. Like I said not a huge fan of a drum that...huge...! (sorry)
Thanks! I'm fairly certain from my research that I'm not going to have an issue with 922r, which only applies to importers/manufacturers anyway, which is probably the main reason why you've never heard of anyone getting jammed up for it. There was a recent conversation about just that on the AK Files and with what I'm planning on it's a non-issue anyway...
Having a few more Russian parts on a gun is not worth a federal sentence. Do as you will. When they decide they are interested in an individual they will be charging that person with everything they think will stick and then some. That individual will then cop a plea to have all of the lesser charges dropped and still serve 10 years. Not worth it.

1st tip:
Good idea on the WriathMaker drum (Widowmaker drum). Sell the drum and get an MD Arms drum if you want a good drum.

Hi guys. New to the forum. I love my SAIGA 12 and had it long enough to start changing parts or modifying it. I can empty a 20 round drum as fast as my finger can pull with the lowest quality shells I can find. I hunt, shoot skeet and want to try 3 gun with it. The first thing I want to do is get rid of this plastic stock though. I would like to change out my plastic stock with a quality folding stock. I’m more interested in finding the parts to change my solid trunnion into a folding block/trunnion mechanism first. I do not want an add on or work around, I want a Russian made folding mechanism made for my gun to install, even if it’s going to involve a lot work. I’m not afraid of filing, drilling, cutting and riveting. I mean it could be American made but only if it’s a replica folding trunnion to what the 12-C variant uses. Then I’d like to search for the stock I want, unless I can find it all in one go. I like the SVDS style folding stock, PT-3 or Russian triangle the best so far. Of course I would convert it after all this, before putting the gun back together and refinishing it. Could anyone help me with what exactly I need for this and what all it involves? Also, where can I find these parts or where do I look? I would appreciate the help.
You need an AK100 kit from wherever you can find one and a Saiga-12 front latch from AKbuilder.com. You may have a very hard time finding a triangle stock though. Most likely you will need to buy a poly AK100 kit and then get a triangle stock later. I have some of them, but I am not sure I want to sell them. It will require some cutting, but it sounds like you are a detail guy, and it isn't rocket science. Even if it doesn't turn out great at least you had the stones to do it. If you absolutely hack it up you have done as well as two well respected 'professionals' that I know of.

The double hook trigger in an S12 in general will need some modification for clearance. If there is additional clearance issues with the right side latch, you will find out when you put it together, and it will just be a matter of making the appropriate cuts to relieve that.
If you search around on here, you will find some interesting ways to grind the 2nd hook to act as a trigger overtravel stop, which is pretty cool. Maybe GunFun did a tutorial on it
This covers it. Well stated.

All of mine except 2 have PSA uppers and barrels. There is no better value for quality gear.

The puck is good for thousands upon thousands of rounds. Something else is wrong.

I'm pretty sure I had this crap in December. I ran a fever off and on for a few days. That coupled with some other issues was really clobbering me. I had a dry cough for weeks and never thought much about it. A lot of people around here are saying they had a similar experience before this stuff got sensationalized.

Where there is more flesh there is more bruising and soreness. If the butt is on your shoulder or pectoral muscle it will tear you up. Put the butt on your collar bone and lean forward until the most surface area of the butt is making contact.

I have a lot of trunnions. $25 shipped for a S12 takeoff or send me the gun and I will provide and install a trunnion for $80. You provide return shipping. Email me if you need some help.
