  1. Well, the plan, if it even happens, is to just make an attempt to build an S12, just a plain old S12. As for where to get a parts kit, I am not gonna break one up, just gonna wait for one to come up for sale. Could be a long time before that happens. If anyone has one to sell as a parts kit, I am interested, that's for sure. But this is just a wait and see type of thing for me.

  2. Thinking about trying a build project using a receiver blank and my S12 receiver as a template. Already have the receiver figured out, that was simple, but I may have to make up a set of bolt guide rails. Just figured I'd see if anyone happens to make them.

  3. The Beryl sidefolders fit just like a regular AKM non-folding stock. I have two myself, one for my S12 and one for my 7.62x39. Piece of advice, if you decide to get one, they don't lock in the folded position (which doesn't really matter to me) and you should definitely get the grenade launcher recoil pad to strap on it if you use it with an S12. Makes a big difference in shoulder punishment!

  4. Dinzag's parts are worth their weight in gold as far as I'm concerned (got his FSB and AK-74 style brake, but I didn't have the money to spend on his conversion, so I did it myself with (as Cobra mentioned) a Bulgarian AK-74 RSB and a Saiga rifle gas tube. The RSB is fairly easy to mod, the gas tube, not so easy.

  5. I did exactly what you are asking about. I used a downrod from a ceiling fan and a bunch of large washers that fit around the barrel. Just a matter of making sure your sights are lined up properly. Once you get the GB and FSB close to where you want them, slowly tap them in place with much lighter hits from the hammer till they are as far on to the barrel as they need to be. Mine are Bulgarian.

  6. Superhawk138, is that the Dinzag short front sight block on yours? I am in the process of doing the RSB swap on mine and my Dinzag short FSB seems to line up almost perfectly with my modified AKM RSB. I am trying to make the gas tube removable as well as making the AKM RSB removable like the stock S12 RSB is, so I am modifying mine to hook in to the trunnion instead of welding it in. No idea if it will work though.

  7. A lot of times, the ports aren't the right size or sometimes they aren't even drilled all the way through. I'd just take off the gas plug and see how many ports you have and do the paperclip test to make sure they are all open, then go shoot 100-200 rounds of high brass to break it in, if it even needs to be broken in. Try the cheap bird shot first though to see if it will cycle it. If not, then the high brass. Just make sure it works before you convert.

  8. Thanks Indy. Russian Hammer, what in the wide, wide world of sports is that thing? Doesn't look like it would be much fun to shoot with that butt stock thing (curved metal bar) on there. Intersting forend set up though. Is that a flashlight on top?

  9. In regards to the rule/law mix up, as I previously stated in post 16, I mis-spoke, very sorry. In regards to what I was saying about the stock, I was going by what i have always read, which I suppose I might very well have mis-interpreted. Since you two (Indy and Nailbomb) seem to know a bit more about the NYS AWB (and I'm NOT trying to be sarcastic, I'd really like your opinions on this matter) , do you think it would be ok to own the Polish Beryl sidefolder stocks for my Saigas, but not have them attached until I am out of state, such as when I get to Vegas in September. I currently have the Bulgarian skeleton stock on them. My apologies if I am hijacking the thread.

  10. First, the stock is exactly what this discussion is about. He specifically asked if anyone runs them (the Kushnapup stock) which the grip is a part of since it is all one unit. If you don't believe me, go re-read the OP's questions. Second, yes, the rules are laws, please forgive my mis-speaking on that matter, but the laws are exactly the same regarding the stocks for a rifle and a shotgun, there is no misinterpreting that. And in regards to the laws as written are not open for interpretation, every judge interprets the law to the best of their ability, as they see fit to each case, and they do have a tendancy to interpret them differently from other judges from time to time. I suppose that is where an appeal could come in if one were so inclined.

     

    And I whole hartedly agree that the grip is beneath the barrel and not the action.

  11. The laws are what they are. If you want to view it in an extreme, literal sense, the grip is not directly below the action, it is forward of the action. Whether or not it is a pistol grip, it's always going to come down to however the prosecution wants to make it out to be and whether or not you can prove otherwise in court. I personally view it as a pistol grip, but not below the action. Keep in mind though that bullpup rifles are sold here in NY and the rules are the same regarding stocks on a rifle and a shotgun. If bullpup rifles are legal to sell and own here, bullpup shotguns are too.

  12. The rules aren't that much different between the shotgun and rifle here in NY. The rules regarding the stocks are the same.

    A semiautomatic rifle that has an ability to accept a detachable magazine and has at least two of the following characteristics:

    • a folding or telescoping stock
    • a pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon
    • a bayonet mount
    • a flash suppressor or threaded barrel designed to accommodate a flash suppressor
    • a grenade launcher

    A semiautomatic shotgun that has at least two of the following characteristics

    • a folding or telescoping stock
    • a pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon
    • a fixed magazine capacity in excess of five rounds
    • an ability to accept a detachable magazine

    Basically, if we can have bullpup rifles, we can have bullpup shotguns, regardless of whether or not it started out that way, as long as it meets the requirements of the NYS AWB. This info is from nyfirearms.com

  13. Bullpups have been being sold here in NY for many years now. I've seen pretty much all of the commonly known bullpups in gun stores around here, such as the Steyr AUG clones, Kel-tec RFB and the Century AK bullpups, so I would have to assume that they are perfectly legal here.
