Slayer-72

thanks. cleared it right up. settled for an adjustable wrench and just tried to flare out the area where they contact.

well I just finished my conversion and everything is considerably smooth except one thing. The safety lever seems to extend higher than it use to before the conversion. the safety it self still functions like it should, stoping the bolt when it is pointed at the "S" and locking the trigger, and the guns works properly. But when you pull the lever up past the "S" mark it jumps off of the frame and onto the bolt. Is there anything i can do to stop this? full conversion:

Just did my conversion and I didnt have to grind anything thankfully. you might not either.

I have a tri-rail Forearm from Tapco and it's very nice.

oh wow! i love those short and dirty saigas!

this was just a first fast and rough try at it. there's already a bunch of cracks in the wood that will make if breakable. Im going to make another rough version, and then if im happy with that, I will get some actual good wood. ... then it's on to the buttstock.

@ yeoldetool, that's an amazing looking gun.

so I got a few inspired hours today and decided to mangle out me a wood fore-end for my Saiga-12 out of some fire wood(sweet-gum i think). about 3 hours later and some handy work with a Miter saw and a wood chisel, I have a passable wood fore-end that needs sanding. It's incredibly ugly though. I plan to find some better wood stock to build with, but over all I don't want to mangle it when I do another. any one out there make their own wood? what tools did you use? any good places to find some interesting wood stock?

it fired the last time I shot it. so yes, I would. do i plan on throwing it in the mud and leaving it under a pile of sand for 3 months and not clean it, and still expect it to work as previously? NO. That would be retarded.

Im not always a mall ninja, but when i am, I wear an Onion sack. Great vid! I'd love to see some stuff on .410 shells now too!

922r compliance isn't required until it's converted, if I recall correctly. and when you convert it, if you just buy a conversion, it should be 922r compliant with just the parts from the kit. the more US made parts you have the safer though. you already have the mag covered, so that would be 3 more parts.(well within safe limits)

A magazine that reaches the same weight as my gun and 2x the encumbrance? no thanks.

Neato. Always liked the metal casing of the Russian shotgun ammo. not sure they would be worth shooting though. having to trim all of them first. if it's just the one box, i'd hold onto them. ... loading these wouldn't damage the chrome lining of the barrel, would they?

didnt really find anything on them in the search, so... 1. are they good: reliable, feed well, durable 2. is the 8rd any less bulkier than the 10rd? (magazines in general, really) 3. does anyone have any other preferred Saiga-12 mags they use and like. (Price is a considerable factor)

converting your Saiga is actually pretty easy. this thread helped me a lot in understanding what needs to be done. http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?/topic/40886-step-by-step-conversion-with-pics/ I wont say to follow his direction because i haven't converted my own yet,(I'm working on it, chill) but his pictures really helped me understand just what is happening. as for 922r. well, I've figured that if you just get a US fore-end, stock, trigger grouping, and mags, there's no way you are un-compliant. Most of which comes in a conversion kit or is the required parts to convert the

I've found lots of stuff about "vented rib sights" or "adjustable leaf sights". unfortunatly it looks like i will have to replace either the Gas block if i can find one with such a sight, or replace the entire shotgun.

Well my saiga runs well but if you notice most of the shots were not braced against the shoulder. Shooting like that means that alot of the energy required to push the bolt back is lost because there was not a lot for it to act upon. As soon as he shoulders the weapon it cycles fine for the most part lol. I know that there are guys with saigas that could have no FTF/FTE's while shooting bird shot with half the powder but sadly mine isnt. Im having gas port issues and its hard to get the gas block off with only one arm to usem but its getting there. Right now its taken apart completely and wait

like the one's on this. http://images.wikia....f/Saiga_20K.png

I have tightened it as far as I can with the alen wrench, but what seems wrong is that the bar that fits in between the spaces in the rail seems smaller than the gaps in the rail. giving it a slight forward and back wobble.

I got an Intrafuse Tri-rail for my S12 along with this ("]http://store.carolin...l?sfs=558dd235) grip to use on it. The fit wasn't really snug The foregrip rattled when not griped tightly. Is this normal? also, since i have been thinking of replacing it, do the Magpul AFGs fit on the Intrafuse Tri-rail forend. I'm more worried that they might not even fit 'on' the oddly sized Intrafuse rails than I am about a snug fit.

i would hope for nearly 100$....

um, is this it? it looks close to it. no wait... http://www.krebscustom.com/PartsPages/KalashnikovParts.shtml hit Ctrl + F and type CATALOG NUMBER 18

um, ok so if i bought the gun and it wasnt 922r complient, and then just replaced the butt stock with one i liked, and it was still not 922r complient. that would be my fault? wow, this is mind boggling......
