Hey thanks, I checked at AK builder and Curtis definitely has what I want. Its a bulgarian folder stock. Thanks for the help!

I'm going to put a left folding stock on my S12. I have all parts except the latch components. Has anyone seen a detailed drawing showing dimensions of the latch lever. I have receiver hole dimentions, but I can't find anything for the catch.

Well I have the pg convertion finished, built a extd mag release, and started putting on a Galil type front hand guard. Need to get a AK-47 front hand guard latch assm and mod it for S12. Still Haven't made my mind up what rear stock I want to use.

I have t

Hi everyone! What a great Saiga site,just a wealth of info here. I have built a few AK's and I really like the absolute reliability, so I get to thinking I really need an AK shotgun, why not have a shot at building one. I purchased a new Saiga 12 last week. I run a couple of boxes of ammo thru it to make sure all was working properly and it was completely reliable, right down to failing to eject the last round from the stock 5rnd Saiga mag every single time. All of the first 4 rounds eject fine but the 5 will likely be stovepiped into the back of chamber or sometimes the bolt is closed on the
