  1. Makc,

    I recieved notice of my items shipping today and they are going to the correct address. I appreciate the good CS.

     

    AND I'M VERY EXCITED!!! this stock looks like it is everything I have been wanting in a stock. I want to get the thin grind-to-fit Limbsaver for it. Good idea or bad?

  2. I believe that stock would count as two parts.

     

    However.... go ahead and convert the weapon. It will give you a tingly sensation running up your leg. It will also give you something good to stare at when you get some quiet time. Just do it....

     

    A nice muzzle device, puck, or handguard would be a good addition, as far as US parts goes.

  3. I have found, with all of my weapons, that the easiest way to get them clean is to go to the range with a 'wet' weapon. If the Breakfree isn't running out of it somewhere.... it isn't wet enough. I make sure the gas block, puck, and plug are well lubed before anything goes down the tube. This generally makes cleaning a wiping or swabbing task instead of a scraping party. It is great to hear of someone who has a good running weapon without having to do a lot to it. Keep it wet....

  4. I made some hammers (striking hammers for forming thick sheetmetal)years ago and hardened them. You may be able to save that hammer. Do it all over again, get the striking surface glowing good, and dunk it in some room temperature water. I don't know if that will work for weapons, but it worked for my purpose. It's worth a shot anyways.

  5. Become a sight contributor, I think it is $5. You can then place a WTB ad in the WTB forum telling exactly what you want. As many weapons here that have been restored, there is someone out there that would love to make a buck or two off of the parts they will never use again.

     

    If you explained the situation a little better, we may be able to offer better direction. What is going on with the weapon? Is it a 'restored' S12 that you would like to return to import ban compliant configuration? Are the parts worn out? Are you wanting to get some parts off of your S12 to use on another S12 and replace them so you can sell it? What's up?

  6. Exuse my ignorance but how you install the pistol grip?Is it a complite set?

    Thanks!

     

    The only dumb questions are the ones you don't ask.

     

    I'm not sure I understand what you mean by 'complete set'. It is just the grip. You will need a grip screw and nut. It can only be used on a restored or 'converted' Saiga.... or an AK. If your Saiga already has a pistol grip, this grip is easy to install.

  7. I got tired of needing the tool to adjust the plug. I can do it with my fingernail now. I only removed the material that was in the way. I didn't want to 'bob' the whole front as I don't have access to a good sander and I didn't want to have to reprofile the whole front either. I drilled a 'vent' for the gas to exit the port a little easier. The hardest part was getting the 'vent' in the hadguard lined up with the port. I got really close and filed it to get it just right. I like this handguard better now.

     

    I have an HD camera and it is extremely light sensitive, sorry about the bad pics.

  8. Boba,

    It sounds like your original idea was better than what you ended up with. The weapon does look quite menacing with that mid comp, but what good is it if it doesn't work? I wish I had the answer to what needs to be done. I can only say that I'm pulling for you and I hope you get it figured out.

     

    I have the funny feeling you will have to end up losing the barrel beyond the comp and SBS like the other poster said. I know that wasn't your original intention, but you could certainly brag about that if you got it running well ;)

     

    Mike at Lonestar could put the 'Lonestar Magic' on that thing.... I have spoken to him at length and he most definitely has immense talent for making these weapons run.

  9. If it is in stock configuration, contact Cadiz Gun Works for a free waranty service. They are a business member here. Click on their member page and you should find details about returning your gun to them for service. Your gun should cycle Federal Bulk flawlessly. More than likely you have a gas system problem.

     

    This ^

     

    This may start a flame fest, but I think "break in" is a myth. My S12 was unfired when I bought it. I did everything could find in this forum that I thought would make it run and fired 10 rounds with a couple FTEs. I pressed onward with mods and a little more input, and it ran fine after that. If it takes "break in" for a S12 to run.... then 10 rounds is plenty.

    Usually, FTE = not enough gas

  10. If you plan on keeping the weapon and the sight that you want, like others said, cut it out.

     

    I bought a Wilton 360 rotating jaw vise from Lowes and it has proven to make everything easier. I have seen them at Home Depot as well. They are about $60 and worth every penny. You might want to get some Wilton rubber pads for it while you are at it. All of my rifles have ended up in this vise at one time or another. Spring for one and mount it to an old desk that has some weight to it. You will achieve happiness....

     

    And yes PA, that sight does look interesting....

     

    One,

    Please, do tell....

  11. It doesn't really matter, but to be clear: Cobra may sell em, but he didn't design these trigger guards.

     

    To each his own, but personally I much prefer the version that requires a pistol grip hole be cut in the receiver; for a more secure, traditional mount.

     

    edit: Oh, and I do support many site business members by buying from them whenever possible, (CSS, LSA, MAA, MDA, dinzag, etc), just not you, Shannon.

     

    Obviously, everyone here is free to spend their money however they wish. I'm not telling anyone not to buy from Cobra, just that I do not.

     

    ymmv.

     

    I'm with you on the traditional pistol grip nut. I cut the nut off of the Tromix DIY I have and used a normal nut and screw. I would do the same to the aforementioned trigger guard. Well.... who designs and makes this guard?
