Sorry my reply got tied up. Let me know if I may help.

Mass, ugh. I need to think of the limitations. For the moment all I got is to sugges you root around CSS. Send me links to things that interest you and I may be able to comment. I made my upgrades 15 years ago, so It'll be a trip down memory lane. Hi Capt.

Hi Capt.

I got a lot of my part here. Also, there are a couple of picatinny rails choices I use (having more than one Saiga 12), and they are the Texas Weapons Dog Leg Rail, and the Ultimak Gas Tube rail. There are many sight choices. Have a look and let me know what you think. JohnnyE

HI Cap. The way things are now, search is going to be your best friend. Before S12 sources dried up this was a vibrant community with loads of solid, and also some BS, information. I learned a lot here over a decade ago that got my Saiga 12's running like Swiss watches. They eat light skeet loads up through 3", 1 1/4 ox Federal magnum slugs. Ufeful information is here, though you'll have to dig. It will be worth it.

They speak English in What?

Hey mods, I've been here 14 years and learned a lot, and given back, too. All of these cyrilic posts have sent this site to hell. Are you reading this? At the risk of a time out or being banned outright, maybe my saying fuck, shit, cock and cunt will raise a flag with you to clean this placed up. If I am hitting a nerve, good. If you toss me without repairing this site, so be it. It won't be worth hanging around.

Hey mods, you've lost control of this site. At least use a filter to automatically exclude cyrlic posts.

We need to discusss the S-12 platform, not the endless streams of Cyrilic b.s. posts. Cut this stuff out.

I love my Saiga 12's and this forum taught me a lot. My 12's run like Swiss watches because of what I learned here.

There is so much here for anyone interested in the platform. It needs to carry on. Too much knowledge is stored here. I learned so much here.

I converted mine over a decade ago and don't want to lead you astray. A friendly word of warning...there is conflicting information out there and telling the difference between good and bad advice is challenging. Search this forum extensively and practice a light touch. Certain parts are unobtanium and you do not want to bogger something by removing too much metal, enlarting ports too much, etc. I had Pauly polish my BCG and the job was so effective at lowering friction I had to get my gas system under control. Root around here and I think some of the experienced professionals will

Glad you took the plunge. If you slicked up the BCG nicely, you'll have less of a gas issue. I had my BCG's (got more than one S-12) really well profiled plus I enlarged the gas ports in the barrel, so they are slightly over-gassed. Take your time and do your work in small increments. Taking material away is easy...putting it back, not so much.

I replaced my asphalt shingles based on condition, not time. I noticed the sudden presence of the shingle gravel showing up at the downspout discharges, and saw that the tabs were starting to curl on the shingles on the south side of the house. That was enough right there to commit to replacement. Add in that the roof was approaching 25 years of age and it was unmistakably time...that or wait for water to come in and start ruining ceilings.
