[Wanting to buy a Saiga 12]

can you guys direct me to somewhere with a good price on an s12? thanks!

 

google......classic arms

[1st conversion 5.45x39]

got the guard from optics planet, best buy i could find on it anywhere. i'm thinking it was $28.99 + shipping. dinzag retainer and had gas tube from some parts i had laying around. css has the vented gas tube, might want to take a look over there...lots of good stuff.

 

yes it is

 

Is that a hogue handguard?

 

 

Where did you purchase the hand guard and I am guessing you used the dinzag retainer and gas tube?

[1st conversion 5.45x39]

thanks.....maybe down the road on the fsb/brake, gotta S12 in line for the next conversion.

 

Nice....are you going to do the FSB/muzzle brake?

 

I think I will keep the Saiga front handguard on mine...I like the way it feels in the hand.

big thanks to brian @ dinzag arms, got all my parts and went to work and just finished her up. everything fit fine except the safety lever, had to grind a little off the tab on the lever after that all went well. took it outside ran 10rds as fast as i could rip em off not one fail......perfect!!!! next is the guide, that is first thing in the am. anybody that has doubts about doing this should just go ahead and try it, really a very simple process anyone can do it!!

well here she is with houge and tapco furniture.....

 

[pluggin' trigger holes]

anyone ever use the type of bolts (with loctite) from the bolt on trigger guard to plug the old pin holes? will they pose any problems with the conversion, don't think it would look too bad and be alot more permanent than the nylon plugs. anyone????

[saiga front end]

thanks guys for response, the dremel just made short work of it.

[saiga front end]

the pin that holds the front of the (factory) forearm secure what do you do with it.....drive it out or dremel flush? first conversion going on here......just wondering what the norm is on making this pin history. TIA

[Saigas coming in under TGI name??]

new guy here....just picked up a 5.45 today, had the same etching on the receiver with the TGI name also.
