  1. I just bought an M&P Shield 9mm. Here is the Glock 43 version of the holster I'm thinking of going with. Good reviews and the price is right. https://www.amazon.com/Glock-Holster-Veteran-Owned-Company/dp/B01DMMKUFC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1470103347&sr=8-1&keywords=cya+supply+co.+glock+43 Thanks i will check it out. Right now I am leaning towards a recluse pocket holster since that is what i am used to but if i go iwb that looks good.
  2. Just bought a glock 43 single stack 9mm and it shoots great. 1st 30 rds shot with no malfunctions and just as accurate as my 17 and 26. Its my new ccw just gotta decide what holster. A new gun is always a positive!
  3. The magwell came from legion. Google them they are a great company and shipped out my stuff same day. As far as difficulty to install take a look at post #9 in this thread again the 3rd pic that i posted will pretty much show you what has to be done. The top gun in that pic is the saiga 12 that was about to be modified and the bottom gun is a vepr 12 with the magwell removed. You can see how much metal i had to remove from the saiga receiver in that pic. If you are handy with a dremel the go for it. Just be careful not to take to much metal off. Thanks to distal for more info on the plastic we
  4. I just put a competition magwell on my saiga 12 and figured that it was to long to accept the new drums. I think you just confirmed my suspicion. It is about 2 times the length of the poly magwell on my vepr. I am seriously considering cutting it down and removing the flared section so that it will take these drums. My drum wont be here till tomorrow though so i cant confirm the problem till then.
  5. It has been a while since I was on here but when i heard these mags are finally real and available I ordered 2. They are supposed to be here tomorrow according to the tracking. They are coming from gun mag warehouse. I have never ordered from them before so i am wondering how it will work out.
  6. I finished putting the magwell on tonight and it turned out pretty good. I had to take a little off the mag catch tab so the mags from my vepr would fit without a fight and now they go in easy and drop free. I am very glad i did this but now I need to get on the ball and stock up on vepr mags. I test fired about 25 rds of federal bulk and it worked flawlessly. Gun fun, tell me more about the plastic welding. Where do you get the tools and supplies? Heres a few pics of the finished product.
  7. Those 2 look great together. I wish I would have thought about the poly sgm magwell before I went and bought the Russian competition magwell. Oh well. Just got a little done on this project.
  8. Good idea. I was thinking along those lines. Since the mag pin hole is already there and i have to make the other hole at the other end. Question for you evil. Wasn't it you that came up with the tab for the verp 12 to run rock n lock mags? I couldn't remember who thought of that. If anyone is interested I will take some pictures of this process.
  9. Holly crap I think you just made a good point. I forgot about the mod that somebody came up with to convert the vepr back to rock n lock mags. Its a little plate or something right? So in theory if for some reason I decided to go back to rock n lock mags I guess I could. Thank you for your input. I hadn't thought about that. You can never have to many options.
  10. I tend to agree with your mindset. I just got freaked out a little when I saw how much metal I was going to have to cut out for the new magwell. Sometimes I jump the gun and make impulsive decisions and since the only people that even know what I am talking about are on this board I needed some reassurance before I got the dremel out. Probably gonna keep the one s 12 I have thats rock and lock that way for now though. I have to much invested in those mags to get rid of them right now. But I do think it is time to get rid of the travers magwell. It is more for competition shooting and I am gear
  11. So here is the question. And i am looking for opinions. Currently i have an s 12 with alot of good stuff on it that has a jack travers sgm magwell adapter on it. I am planing on changing the magwell out for a vepr 12 magwell. I have a vepr 12 as well and would really like magazine compatibility between the two. I currently have the vepr magwell ready to install but when i got started i realized that there is no turning back after i do it. I will have to open up the mag opening in the gun alot for it to accept the vepr magwell. After that i will never be able to use S 12 rock and locks or t
  12. Nice edit job gun fun. Good additional info. When you listed front site block were you talking about the part the stock gas tube is pressed into.
  13. Rear trunnion you can use standard AK trunnions, at least I did in my build Receivers, 80% are US made Ejector block ... some are made but low numbers Gas block and gas tube ... I was under the impression that there were those US made with rails on top. Nothing that I've used, but I think that some are already here. Yup, not worries about making Saiga in US, the main problem is cost/ volume. With bigger volume the cost should go down, but it won't happen overnight. Who makes the 80 % receivers?
  14. So I just received my new bolt carrier from R and R targets and got to thinking. Probably more than half of the parts on a saiga 12 are already being made here in the US. Correct me if I am wrong and feel free to add to the list if I miss anything. Part....................Manufacturer Bolt carrier........... R and R targets Bolt...................... R and R targets. Coming soon Recoil assy...........R and R targets Stock....................Many sources Trigger................. Many sources Trig grd................ Many sources Barrel................... Icc mfg Op rod........
  15. I guess what I meant is it would be ready to go off after the bolt slammed home, if you had pets or children you would understand where I was coming from.
  16. I am interested in a carrier with left side charging handle and a stock piston installed. Do you have these in stock at this time? I sent a email using the r and r site and got no response.
  17. Haven't posted here in a while but just thought what the heck. I love my s12/vepr12, and they are the shotguns I shoot the most because they are the most fun. Nothing like bump firing a 12 ga from your hip! That said I have a mossburg 500 and glock 26 by the bed for four reasons. 1. Money, I keep the s12 locked up in the safe so it can't get stolen when I am not there. I have about $1500 in my s12 and only $175 in the mossburg. If the mossburg gets stolen then I will just replace it with another. 2. Reliability, my s12 is the most reliable semi auto I have ever shot but I am not com
  18. I work in a service repair shop for pneumatic and electric tools and have seen a lot of different models on the inside. To answer one above question Makita's that are blue and black have more torque than the white and black models, at least this is true for the 18v drills and impact drivers. Also we use 1/4 inch impact drivers all day everyday and the 2 models we use and have yet to have any problems are 18 v Makita's and dewalts. Had the same ones for several years and they still work fine. The makita has more torque than the dewalt. And when they do finally have problems they can be service
  19. Which day is it on the 24th or 21st, never mind it's a good excuse to eat there both days! Love their nuggets.
  20. If you are looking at around 100$ the bushnell trs 25 would be a great choice. And now they carry these at walmart with the correct riser to co witness on an ar for around 110$. The best part is if your son decides he wants something else he can take it back easily.
  21. This would look really nice on my vepr 12. It needs an m4 adapter really bad.
  22. That is a beautiful gun. I had a similar expirence with an s 12. Here is what I did to get it back to 100% with bulk packs. I profiled and polished the bottom of the bolt and carrier as well as the tapco trigger assy. And then installed a jte performance hammer spring, which further reduces the resistance of the hammer on the carrier. That got it back to about 98%. Then I installed a md arms booster puck which got it to 100% reliable again. Unfortunately they don't make a booster puck for the vepr yet. So if I were you I would start with a slight reprofile and polish and a new hammer spr
  23. Nc isn't on either list so I guess it has already declared independence :-)
