Themajickman

My wife carries a Bersa Thunder 380 CC. Very compact and very accurate and very manageable for a woman. Loaded up with some Hornady Critical Defense ammo and you're set to rock 'n roll

'Themajickman', I miraculously survived an accident when I flipped and totaled my 911 Carrera in 2003 so I am Paul, 'The Magic Man'. It's just a weird way of spelling it because every other variation seemed to be taken. Simple as that, I ended up paralyzed from the neck down and I use voice recognition software to operate my computer. Keeps me busy and helps me not be so depressed, life is great woo hoo.

the pictures definitely help show the difference. Greatly appreciated, thanks, Paul

Here's the part I'm talking about. This one is modified

The link you put is for another part but, I know which one you're talking about. And I agree with you that they should be compatible.

Greg at CSS says that they're not the same. Maybe factory ones won't interchange but maybe the Tromix will. Do you know where I can pick up a Tromix?

just curious I guess, being new to Saiga shotguns I just wanted to know all about it. Thanks

I've decided to go ahead and order the one from Amazon for $70. Hopefully it will hold up. I like the fact that the laser has the switch which will mount on the pistol grip. It seems like it would be a plus to have something like that if you don't really have time to aim.

I was wondering if anybody knows if the bolt hold open lever is the same for the saiga 12 and the saiga 410? I'm thinking about sending my parts to Pauly to do his GlassBolt process and one the parts he asks to be sent is the BHO lever. Rather than remove the one from my gun right now I would prefer to just buy an extra one to send to him. The only ones I can find are for the saiga 12 so I'm hoping that there are the same. Thanks all, Paul

I'm sure the Bushnell is much better quality and the price is very reasonable. The one I mentioned is about $70 on Amazon and includes the laser and the mount so, it makes you wonder how good can it be?.

I picked up this cheap one on Amazon. For the price I figured it's worth a try. Who knows, it may fall right off after the first shot. LOL. But I figured the 410 doesn't kick that bad so....

Here are some pictures of my 'in progress' conversion. Once I get everything together I'll definitely get a picture of it when it's finished. ATI adjustable/folding stock Hogue pistol grip alumalite barrel shroud Tromix modified G2 FCG Tromix Bolt on Charging Handle CSS trigger guard UAG red dot/laser sight (hopefully it won't fall apart on the first shot) factory 10 round magazine I'm shipping everything off to have a profile/polish job done.

thanks for the information! I guess my eyes aren't what they used to be, LOL.

I guess I'm just curious so I'm trying to figure out who imported my 410. There's nothing on the box except 'made in Russia' and markings on the receiver are 'TBI Knox TN' (it also has the serial number and Izhmash and other information stamped). I may be wrong but I thought the importer was stamped on the receiver so, the only thing I can find with 'TBI Knox TN' is the Tennessee Bureau of investigation which I doubt imported the weapon. So any help in this would be greatly appreciated. I posted the serial number in another thread trying to figure out the year of manufacture. H 092xxxx2T.

I bought a brand-new Saiga 410 on January 19, 2012 for $330 from an outfit in Florida on GunBroker. The serial number is H0920xxxx2T. So based on the serial number, it was manufactured in 2009, is that correct?

After reading this thread looks like nobody has had any experience with changing the puck. I'm hoping something has changed recently. In order to be in 922r compliance I'm going to be changing the piston/puck in my Saiga 410 and am hoping someone can recommend one for me. There are multiple offerings from different manufacturers and I was wondering if anybody had any experience with any of them, good or bad. Tapco, twister, Magnum, standard etc. etc.. I will be adding a pistol grip with out relocating the FCG so it is necessary for me to change other parts to get the compliance number I need a

For what it's worth. It might be a good idea, (although a bit involved) to generate a spreadsheet of what will work in what magazines as a reference guide. I know quite a bit of it has been covered in different places here on the forum. Forgive my ignorance but, are there any magazines that will will work for the 2 1/2 inch.410 shotshells?

I'm going to order a couple factory 10 round magazines to keep loaded with the PDX1 for home defense and use the SGM magazine for practicing with whatever will actually fit in it.

I saw the thread with the illustrations which was helpful but They won't even load in the Surefire magazine. They're just too darn long

So I bought my wife a Saiga 410 for home defense and decided to do some enhancements. I've been doing an lot of reading on the forums and gathering as much information as I can so I can be relatively knowledgeable. I'm going to go ahead and do the FCG conversion, pistol grip folding stock and profile and polish the bolt and carrier etc., etc. So, I went ahead and ordered a Surefire 10 round magazine thinking that the factory 4 round magazine just didn't have the capacity necessary for a good home defense stand. The magazine says it's for 3" shells so I went ahead and ordered some Winch

what modifications did you have to do to mount the tapco galil handguard on your 410?

It would be really helpful if you could post a more legible copy of that letter. I for one, could not read it. I also believe, from what I was able to read, that you have the page is mixed up in order. Thanks

I'm asking this question because I've read in various forums that shotshell's are being deformed after being loaded in magazines for as little as a few days. In a home defense situation a loaded weapon should be ready for action at a moments notice. In other words, load it and put it away until needed. If Saiga shotguns do actually have this problem, then You would either have to load it at a moments notice or empty and reloaded every day. And in my opinion, that would just not be practical. Am I right, is this a serious problem or am I just overreacting here?

Took me a few minutes to read your post, kept getting distracted by some Blonde out of the corner of my eye. LOL. You're right about the ammo, so since the 12 is just too much for my wife, I am guessing that the 20 would be my best bet. It already has some modifications which will save me money, plus it's already broke in.
