  4. Newb with a tromix shark brake WTF question

    in Saiga-12

    Posted

    OK, finally back in the states and I got to putz around with my new S12. I went to throw the shark brake on and something was not right. Am I mistaken, or is this thing supposed to thread on? I threw the barrel nut on and go to install the brake, and low and behold, it's smooth on the inside. Not one thread inside the brake. Am I missing something here?

  6. What other perks are there to forming a trust?

    in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!

    The big one is multiple people being able to legally access the NFA items without you being there to oversee their use.

     

    This was one of the reasons for me getting the ball rolling on my trust yesterday. My girlfriend is a beneficiary, with my stepfather as the successor trustee. When I leave, she can legally have the items in her house (where I live). She can't sell them, and if I die, my stepfather gets them.

  9. How much have you spent on your S12?

    I figured I'd bring this question up because I was planning on building up my K5 blazer and started thinking about how much I've already put into my AR and S12. I figured the truck runs great already. Besides if the SHTF, it's the guns that will save my A** not the truck. Might as well prioritize.

    The way I see it, is I know that if times get to the point where I HAVE to sell my S12, I'm confident that I can get what I put into it. It's an investment....yeah...that's my justification. Besides, I've got atleast that much wrapped into my AR15. They don't build themselves ya know.

    I was just adding up what I've spent on my S12, without even being able to touch it yet. I'm up to $785.56, not including the $535 for the S12 itself. Only one more thing to do, and that's sending the bolt group out to be polished/profiled and have the charging handle switched to the left side. It's safe to assume a grand total of $1,000 on parts and services. The biggies were the trigger conversion kit and the mags. (20rd/12rd drum and (3) 10rd mags.) How much have you guys spent aside from the cost of the gun?

     

    Just realized I haven't even purchased any ammo yet. Oye!!

  14. Saiga 12 for $800???

    I was going to offer to help in some way... something like selling you one for $600, when all I was going to do was buy one for $500, take it toa my Father who is an FFL who would then transfer it over to your FFL and the my Dad and I would split the extra $100 .That would be really screwing you over though...

     

    What a pal!

    OP, listen to these guys. $800 is WAY too much for a NIB S12. I paid $535 from Atlantic Firearms. Go get your down payment back. I personally wouldn't go back to that guy. Listing the shotgun at such a high price, then getting you to put it on layaway seems shady.

  21. How many S-12 mags is enough?

    Under extreme fire you should have enough magazines to hold off the Zombies while your wife already reloaded two 20 round Drums, and started loading the third Drum. If you run out of Mags or Drums before the wife reloads, you need to buy more. So get in the back yard with the wife and start pumping out some Ammo. big_smile.gif

     

    I'm not sure if that's possible. I can't even load an MD-20 in five seconds, so how could I even begin to ask the wife to try to do the same? I was thinking about this at work the other day while wiring up some lights, and you'd need two people for support for every one person with an S-12, and ten round stick mags since they are much easier to load...

     

    We need someone to not only create a belt-fed set up, but an easily installed belt-fed modification to the S-12...

     

    Great, now I'll be thinking about this all night. I've actually got half the idea worked out in my head.

  23. Saiga 12 Case

    in Saiga-12

    You know, you made a good point. I started doing some searching and came up with the idea of using an electronic keyboard case. I found one on the cheap that will fit both my AR and my saiga, as well as the mags for both. Its interior dimensions are (LxWxH): 58" x 21" x 6.5"

  24. New Saiga12 Conversion Range Report

    in Saiga-12

    Posted

    Thanks for the report. I'm waiting to get back into the country so I can pick up my saiga from the shop that I ordered from AA. I'm going to send the bolt out to get polished and have the charging handle switched to the left side then add a conversion kit. That's about all I'm looking to do for now. I was wondering what rounds to use for the break in. Guess I'll go with the wally world bird like you did.

    OK..time to quite trolling. My saiga 12 is patiently waiting for me at the dealer it was shipped to until I'm back stateside in a few weeks. I'm thinking I'll pick up 3 12 rd drums and (6) 10 round mags. I've got a chest rig at home and am just trying to get a full load out for it, plus be able to fit the AR mags. As I go' I'll pick up more.
