Is that welded onto something (the rear trunnion maybe)? How does that attach to the stock? I'm thinking that must have some functional purpose. I'd prefer to leave mine on and use the CNC adapter.
-
Anybody have a photo of the S12 tang everybody keeps talking about having to cut off?
-
Do you know who the importer was for these?
-
I would like a free conversion. I am tending sick little ones this 4th of July.
-
Does anyone know of a dealer that has one in stock? How do I make sure I am getting the heavy barrel version? Anybody have the model number for the heavy barrel 5.45?
-
I want something strong that can be dropped, fire heavy slug/buckshot loads, etc., without issue. I'm thinking of the StormWerks hinge with Tromix's new aluminum stock. Since that particular stock has not yet been released, how durable is the StormWerks hinge?
-
I think I have a problem, because now I really want to take the whole thing apart, as was suggested above. I'm good with tools, just new to this platform. I want to convert it myself, and learn about this platform inside and out. I don't like sending things out. I like to know how things work.

Where is the manufacture date? is it in with the paperwork in the box?
-
Thank you, I appreciate it. I'm curious to know if it has 3 or 4 holes. I'm going to get one of those dental mirrors from Harbor Freight.

How does one remove the gas plug setting? I understand these questions are simple. I admit to being new to this. I want to learn how to do this without reducing my new S12 to a pile of parts.
-
How do you take apart a Saiga 12 to find out how many gas ports it has? Do I need any special tools, or is it very simple to do? If there are photos that show this, it would be very helpful. Thank you for helping me.

Has anyone seen or heard of new model Saiga rifles being imported in the near future? I have seen mention on other forums that the recent price decreases are to prepare for new models, but there were no details or pictures.

Which is the latest Russian version of the 5.45 rifle?
beachman replied to beachman's topic in Saiga 5.45
Yes, nothing against the Bulgarian ones, but since it is starting as a Russian gun, I'd prefer all Russian. What do I need to do to do that? Some things may seem obvious to some people, but I'm learning, so I have to ask for detailed help. -

beachman replied to beachman's topic in Saiga 5.45
I do not know much about the SLR-105s. What makes them the best shooting AKs? How do they compare with the Arsenal SGL31-61? What are the differences between those and a standard Saiga 5.45? I'm more interested in differences that are functional, like sights, stocks, etc. Cosmetic stuff which is not functional I do not really care about. -
Which parts need to be replaced to get a Saiga 5.45 to that configuration? How close can you get, and how much do the parts cost?

What can be done to maximize the accuracy of a Saiga rifle?
beachman replied to beachman's topic in Saiga 7.62 X 39
Jim hasn't told me anything. I'm speaking of his GSR product, listed on his website. -

Jim Fuller takes Saiga 308 and accurizes them. If he can do it, it can be done. There have to be simple things that will tighten things up. I'm not looking for bolt action accuracy, just to improve things. -
So, if I read these posts correctly, this is a partial half conversion? It sounds like the front stuff is not 100% of what one would expect it to be. How difficult is this stuff to fix? Can someone please post a photo of the scratched out writing? Do normal unconverted Saiga 7.62s come with the magwell dimples? What is the function of the magwell dimples?
-
Do you like the Taiwan 5 round magazines? How many swipes do the factory 5 round magazines require?
-
Where? I did that, but I do not see it.
-
How much did you end up paying?
-
Where are you looking because I haven't seen those prices since a little more than a week ago? Check gunbroker now. Not a single posting near that price. Some are selling them 700 + now. I suppose I could be nuts, but these haven't been banned yet, and anyone who pays $700 to $900 is, IMHO, taking a chance. What happens when the next batch comes in? That, and frankly I have a long memory for dealers who gouge, no matter who they are, or what their reputation was prior to the gouging. Reputable dealers may raise prices a little, but $700 is not a little. This same nonsense happene

How do you think the Saigas compare with building an AK74 from a matching parts kit? How difficult is it to put the correct Russian folding stock on a converted Saiga 5.45?
