    Wood Furniture

    Thanks for the information. I looked at the rusmilitary website. You are correct - expensive and sold out. It was exactly what I was thinking. No modification required to mount the handguard. I have thought about the regular AK furniture, but was hoping to mount similar to the handguard that shipped with the unit. Any additional thoughts are welcomed.

    Wood Furniture

    Hey folks - Does anyone have a resource or a reference for a provider of wood furniture for the Saiga 12? I have seen several conversions using the wood furniture. Some include modifications to use the more traditional AK style furniture. I am looking for a complete set which could mount similar to the factory butt stock and handguard with a matching pistol grip. Anyone providing these things at this time? PM response is ok too. Thanks.
  3. thank you ... I appreciate you taking the time to comment on the issue. I guess I should consider myself lucky that my Saiga will cycle the cheap stuff on setting 1 as well as it does.
  4. Thanks for the suggestion and the thought process, but I am not sure that the answer is overgassed and the solution is to move from setting 1 to setting 2 as a solution. Setting 2 increases the gas flow and not decrease it. I have the gas fixr plug already, but have not installed it yet.
  5. Shooting a Walmart's Federal Birdshot on a 24 inch barrel Saiga 12 without modifications. I had the unit on setting 1 and could have easily gone to setting 2, but I wanted to see the frequency of occurrence. I noticed that it had a FTE on the last round only using the factory magazine. It would catch the brass base with the plastic case poking out at 90°. I was wondering with your collective knowledge that you may direct me to investigate some other aspect of the system. The mag was an obvious place to look, but I did not see anything to explain the pattern. I do not have an alternate mag
  6. I am still relatively new to the board and I am planning the conversion for my S-12. I know how I want to do most of it with the exception of the trigger guard itself. I have seen several different solutions pictured on the site as well as discussed in several of the "How-To" stickies. I am interested in finding as true a restoration to the original design intent, but I have seen so many treatments that I do not know what original would look like. Would anyone be interested in contributing to this thread with a picture of their favorite trigger guard treatment? I was thinking a pic and a b
  7. Thanks for the response. Plan to shoot it next weekend. If I have any problems, we will let you know. I read the other post which said just shoot and see. Post http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?showtopic=37471 Thanks for the rapid response.
  8. Thanks to all for the forum. Great read and it sparked my interest to buy my first S-12. I am looking forward to doing the conversion. I purchased my first unit on Friday. This weekend I was cleaning and going through it. I inspected the gas ports. I only found two. There may be a third under the gas block, but I could not see any evidence of it looking down the barrel. Also, I removed the infamous puck. This being my first Saiga, I was surprised to see the view down the tube. Being a newbie, I must ask if this view is typical. It does not seem to be consistent with the way I imagined the
  9. Got it. I was aware of the Europeans using commas for the place holder. In my focus relative to the other model information, I did not think about quoting the diameter of the shotgun shell. It makes sense. I appreciate your help.
  10. Reading the forum drove me to buy a Saiga and to enjoy customizing one. Great, but I was expecting to see the box, paperwork, or receiver marked such that it clearly could be identified as a model IZ-107, 108, 109. The unit appears to have been packaged in December 2008. It has a threaded barrel and standard sights. It is marked with the common 12x76 which I understand. What does the marking "18,3" mean? Also, how is barrel length measured on these units? End of chamber to end of barrel? or barrel exclusive of the 3 inch chamber? Is this information consistent with a 19"
