I really really really like Anderson Lowers. I usually nab them when they are in the $40 range. All I have had are well anodized, fitment is great, and I have not had any weird issues with them. I happy enough with them that my AR15.com factory SBR lower is a dust collector.

I'd just put a Magpul MOE AK stock or Zhukov on it and call it a day. Minimal effort, minimum expense, and maximum result. Those stocks are quite comfortable, lightweight, and nice looking. If looking for some LOP adjustment, the Zhukov offers it.

Seems like there would have been a 'deactivation' etc. clause in there somewhere. What if someone pins one like collapsible stocks are pinned in ban states and it s no longer operable?

Good. Keep it light.

Buy a barrel extension. Legion may have a few.

Support is key, especially with weak loads or taming the recoil of strong loads.

We may not see it during our lifetimes, but there will be another bloody fight for them sooner or later.

Looks like some people are going to learn how to do it with a finger.

Merry Christmas! Hopefully, I get to have some fun in 2019.

I can't wait to chop it and do a 100 round dump with it

For the win!

Unfired case length being too long and rolled crimps are the main common reasons certain loads will not feed correctly in drums. You need to know unfired hull length and check it with the old table. You might contact Federal for that info. I would be willing to bet longtime member Gunfun has a link to that ammo table copied and ready to paste

oh good, thats all ya gotta do is keep your sanity!!
I just caught the post about #31 drill bit. Seems like fouling would be rapidly accelerated with ports that large. What size were they to begin with?
-
That's a really great idea. I may offer it as an option.

Are you talking about an additional means of disengaging the safety toward the middle of the selector? If so, the customer could send a Krebs (the original style, IIRC) and I'd work with it. I made one for a personal gun that was similar to the Vepr 12 unit that can be quickly bumped with the top of the hand. It works great, but adds a little width. The only reason I was going through any additional measures on the selector with that gun was for multi-gun matches, but that doesn't happen around here anymore.

Doh, that's right. So halfway down is enough for the trigger to clear, or do you have to relieve some material to ensure no interference?
We all have brainfarts, lol. Not a big deal.
No, that amount of travel is all it takes and I do some other work to reduce the amount of trigger travel with the selector in the safe position, so it is technically 'safer'. I'm not sure why no one else thought of a finely tuned short-throw selector. It takes time and a little attention to detail to perfect and that is probably why we don't see it elsewhere. It's a detail that I ran on my own gun for a long time and figured people would like it on theirs. I like the absence of an exterior stop and the level look of the selector when in the fire position. It looks like it should have been that way from the start. I wish Mikhail was still around. I'd like to hear his opinion on some of the work I have been doing. I think I do the AK based shotgun a little justice, in a tasteful manner, no crap on his AK

Safe is up, fire is down. It is in the fire position.

What's the difference is your trigger and what goes in an Evl build ?
It is for speed and precision. What goes in customer guns is for speed. I want to bring it to market. There will be one in every build at that point.
-
Quick and dirty, you could use some 400 grit sandpaper wrapped around a precision file in the following places...
trigger hook
hammer where disconnector contacts
hammer where trigger hook contacts
disconnector where hammer contacts
If you have good eyes or a magnifying glass, you might look for any significant burrs or significant rough areas and knock them down with the file first.

Yes, I have seen some really bad ones with really bad ideas implemented and nearly ruined parts. It usually comes from regular gunsmiths trying to work on one or a shop that would like to do Saiga 12 work, but isn't really up to the task. When the economy was bad I think a lot of shops would take anything in even if they didn't know the platform at all, just to keep cash flowing. Thankfully, I haven't seen much of it lately.

"ive had -2-3 russian shotguns over the years that would run birdshot without futziing around. i shoulda kept 2 of them. they were just so buttery smooth! and light recoiling. not sure what made those guns so perfect. i guess they were just perfectly in sync".
So true!
The biggest issue with Russian shotguns and their many recent clones has always been that the way the parts fit and work together in the real world is often very different than the workings the engineers envisioned when they designed these guns.
What is baffling is that with nearly every clone produced, regardless of origin, the defects which cause common malfunctions are precisely copied from whatever sample the copier happens to have in hand, and that on the corporate side no apparent effort goes in to analyzing and engineering a better product.
Generally speaking, one comes away with the impression that If they're actually paying engineers, they're paying them way too much, and they'd be much better off hiring guys who actually understand how to make these systems perform in the real world.
Pretty much across the board, regardless of the source, out of the box, most AK shotguns will run high brass reasonably well, fewer guns will run low brass reasonably well, and some guns won't run anything well.
Once in a while, when the stars are in divine alignment, an AK shotgun right out of the box will run absolutely everything beautifully. As Salty has opined, when one is lucky enough to get one these. its a "keeper".
.
XTR-12 shotgun and ALG AKT trigger are prime examples of what you are referring to in the 'engineer' commentary. They already know it all, why would they bother to listen to a jeweler or a pool builder, lol?
As far as winners and losers go, I think receiver to trunnion alignment has everything to do with it. It is the one thing that can vary the most on Saiga 12s. I haven't handled enough KS-12s and Lynx to see if they vary as much in alignment.

Evl, why you're letting a troll bother you I can't figure out. That's outta character for you.
You're right. However, I have limits just like anyone else. I needed to hear that and I sincerely appreciate it.
