  1. It seems like its best to wait for the complete package now instead of upgrading. That way I can keep my original for a spare or outright sell it to offset the cost. Are you keeping the same choke threading or ?? Will any AR parts other than grips and stocks be compatible? I have to admit I really have not kept up on the updates to this platform including the whole XN change. Mine runs fine so I didn't see the need but an all aluminum gun definitely makes one think. How much will a full open gun weigh compared to the current polymer versions weigh when they are converted for open gun use by
  2. Interesting. I have one of the very first batch of MKA 1919's in the country. Cool Jewels, out of spec rail and all. Jim did a conversion for me and as a follow up did the feed lips. I want a new one but this one runs so well I cant justify one. I have used this since day one for 3 gun along with the now disposed of saiga. I shot this gun last year without cleaning it as an experiment to see how long it would go. Late in the summer I had one FTF in a club match due to the filth and cleaned it at the end of the match. Not a single issue after that the rest of the season. I have spoken w
  3. Well I now have one with the same crack. I have one of the early guns and had the same issue after a couple hundred rounds and clyde sent me a new one. I just cleaned mine and put in a new Firebird spring and found it. I have pics but they all look alike.
  4. Last year I tried the 3GunGear holders for M1A which was a leg rig simlar to that in the way the body of the OEM mag was the only part being held. First time I tried them the top heavy weight slung them out when I started running from box to box. I hope you have better luck. I am using a cheap vestman vest leg rig and no issues. BUT it only holds 2. Im curious if this works out for you. For the matches I shoot thats plenty. Are those 18 round mags? Is the LRBHO functional?
  5. I made that claim about a year ago on this forum. I had the rain of hell come down from fanboys. I cant say I was supprised. It is after all a saiga forum. I no longer have a S12. I wont say they are not good guns but for gun games the Akdal is hands down better. More upside and ergos are better. I have not really posted much at all since. This platform has come farther faster than the S12 would ever and will ever. BUT I think most of that is due to 3 gun. Im still waiting for someone to make a one piece mag body of 12-20 rounds. It will happen I think. I forgot to say when I feed my Akdal (a
  6. I think I understand a bit how a muslim in the middle east feels like when he converts to christianity. I'm done here. Good luck to the open minded and maybe the others will be open to alternatives some day.
  7. Shoot more and you will realize form follows function. I see no need for the door breaching mall ninja muzzle devices but they still sell like crazy. Its for the guys who are pretty sure they will have to use the sharks teeth on the muzzle device to finish off that last zombie after the drum is empty. So you say it wont shoot 3" and that means what? Tell ya what, do a little research and learn something about them before you show us again just how little you do know and yet spout an opinion. I bet I can put 23 aimed rounds downrange faster than you can with your drum. If it
  8. So your a manager and that makes you an expert eh?? Know how many times I have literaly laughed out loud at some of the lack of knowledge from gun shop employee's, owners and coffe slurpin fat guys who hang out at shops but are rarely seen at the range?? Gun shop comandos are a hoot. Sorry I offended you, but we're all shooters at my store. We were not impressed by the Akdal. We all have Saigas, though (this one is my second). And, yes, I am an expert. Sure your an expert. You can tell how a gun shoots just by laying hands on it. I bet you stayed at a Holiday Inn as well. Im
  9. I just talked to Jim a bit ago and he mentioned they will go for about $1900 ready to go with one mag.He is continously upgrading his platform as he goes. He is waiting on parts and there is a backlog. If you want one Id bet you will wait a 6-8 weeks so call and order one now. Shoot more and you will realize form follows function. I see no need for the door breaching mall ninja muzzle devices but they still sell like crazy. Its for the guys who are pretty sure they will have to use the sharks teeth on the muzzle device to finish off that last zombie after the drum is empty.

  13. I dont think Firebird is selling parts to individuals at this time. Two reasons. One he only has so many at this point and they are dedicated for full blown race guns. And two he is having issues with some of the parts he HAS sold to people by them calling him because they cant put them on without calling him numerous times. Cant say I blame him. Im bet he will start selling them again when he has more inventory and Im in no way trying to speak for him. Call to ask but dont be insulted if he wont sell them as stand alone parts for now.
  14. Debate is over. Akdal wins. Im thru debating with S12 fanboys. I will have one for sale by next weekend. Unsubscribe.
  15. Found in less than 2 minutes off of http://forum.saiga-1...atic-checklist/ Not sure if its valid for Akdals and I think the anti gun ATF likes to keep it that way to intimidate buyers.
  16. http://forum.saiga-1...liance-the-law/ Start here. Also use the search term compliance in this forum. Look over on Enos for the same issues in the shotgun tech forums and vendor forums. There is no CLEAR awnser yet is the short awnser but you need to look and read for yourself.
  17. Seriously. Do some reading of older threads here, use the search function. Please. No insult ment but its not that hard and you will find more in depth info by looking yourself. Edit one more time that I have been looking for many months for a definative awnser and no clear one seems available to our antigun ATF. If I have failed to find the CORRECT ruling I hope someone will chime in. Seems like the only viable awnser is to replace as many as you can to cover your ass.
  18. Keep thinking that. I see no reason not to keep thinking that. Your brilliant response sure as hell didn't sway me. Denial isnt a river as they say.
  19. WHY? I think you may be forgeting this shotgun is in no way a direct impingement system like the AR.

    Mag carriers

    FYI for those looking for mag carriers. The Ready Tactical M1A/FAL fits. CKD carries them but they are out of stock and I currently have 2 more on back order. I ordered a Bladetech from Brownells but it did not fit and was sent back. I'm told that safari land makes one but the only one they offer now requires buying their modular belt system. I don't know if it fits or can be adapted to use a regular tek lok type belt attachment. Anyone else have info on ones that work, kydex type please let me know
  21. I always fail to see the point of the mall ninja door breaching muzzle attachments. If its a issue of form following function so be it. Its kind of like people who INSIST on having a bayo lug on a AR.
  22. I have both, and if I had to choose one it would be the 1919. Hi cap mags are comming way, way faster than they did with the s12, and if your making the investment, you have at least $150 in crap to buy for the S12 to get it "restored" to what the 1919 already is. The 1919 has drop free mags, better safety on/off, and top rail where a top rail belongs (optics on the S12 is difficult - not impossible, but difficult) So if mags are due in march, your talkin 30 days before you have a gun that will take you 30 days to make the Saiga. You will have the same costs for highcap mags either way, an
