  1. I bought a US made Krinkov flash hider to see if I like the look of it on one of my AKs. After I opened it, I noticed that it doesn't have the detent. Is this normal? Is it okay to install it and have the detent pin/spring compressed continuously or do I need to remove the detent pin and spring?
  2. I bought a supposedly NIB LAW-12 on an online auction. I received it today, however when I opened it I noticed that it has a black plastic magazine extension not a metal one like on my SPAS-12. I've only seen a few LAW-12's over the years but I swear that they all had metal mag extensions. Does anyone know if any of the LAW-12s ever came with a plastic extension? Please let me know before my 3 day inspection peroid ends.
  3. I waited 1 day too long and now Tromix is backlogged until 2009! Can anyone recommend another company that does quality conversions? I just want a basic conversion (pistol grip, stock)
  4. Is this what you meant?? I think he wants one "from the top down" on the rear truinon... like put the gun in a cleaning vise/etc with the rear dust cover and spring assembly off. This way you can see how banged up the rear truinon is beat up by the carrier slamming into it. Not a surefire way to tell exactly how many rounds but it would help. Like this??
  5. RAA is on the side. I knew $429 was high but I haven't been able to find a IZ-109 at any of the VA. shows so far. I decided to suck it up and just pay the extra $$ and get what I wanted. It really sucks if I paid that for a used Saiga though. The barrel and chamber looked fine and I even confirmed with the seller that it was a new weapon before I purchased it. I guess you can't believe anyone anymore. Thanks to everyone for contributing and answering my questions . I'll call the dealer tomorrow and see what happens. If anyone has any additional info or thoughts please post t
  6. Yeah, the piston did move freely in the tube. Yes, it's a 19" threaded barrel with BHO (IZ-109). I paid $429, which was about $40 more than the other Saigas available @ the show but they were the welded choke/ext w/o BHO. I really wanted a 109. The date on the receiver is 2001 but there's a "06" above the symbol that's above the date (I hope that makes sense) The certificate that came with it is dated 2/2006. What does this mean?
  7. It was already unwrapped and out of the box when I bought it. There wasn't any anticorrosion paper in the box. I took out the gas piston as you suggested. See pics below. What do you think.....new (factory test fire) or did I get swindled??
  8. I haven't shot it yet. It doesn't like to go into battery unless I let it slam forward and not ride it. Although, I've read that it's normal for the Saigas to do that. This is the way it looked after I took it out of the box. It's supposed to be brand new (box wasn't sealed or anything so who knows. Bought from a dealer @ gun show) I know the finish isn't that great on the Saigas but this definitely looked odd for a new weapon so I thought I'd check. Do you think I should contact RAA for warranty?
  9. I purchased a new S12 IZ-109 this weekend. I disassembled it to clean it and noticed the bolt support is missing most of it's coating. Is this normal?? See Pics... Trick
