New carrier came in. Cycling by hand is smoother than the gun has ever been. All things considered I'm hoping the old carrier was shipped bent and didn't buckle during firing. Range time will tell.

They're shipping me out a "replacment unit" this week. Zero questions asked but judging from the pics there wasn't much more to ask I guess.

Theres a recoil buffer protecting rear trunion. side view

Let me start by saying i have already contacted DDI via email about this issue but expect no reply during holiday weekend. I figured in the meantime id see what you guys think. Took it out shooting today, broke it down for cleaning and noticed the carrier/piston rod has a "hump" in the middle. You can see the wear marks on top of the "hump" already starting. This seems not normal to me and at the moment i have nothing to compare it to. I ran 15 slugs and about 100 rounds of federal bird shot through it. Aside from this possible issue i was happy with the day of shooting. The slugs ran fine as

Glock 30s

M44 Mosin...will be here Thursday!

should be better pic

yes us made kvar set. the most work went into the buttstock but had to file both upper and lower hand guards. it wasnt specifically made for the Chinese rifles so a lil work was required, did it all with a bastard file, a razor blade and a coping saw to cut the tab on lower hand guard pretty much in half to fit in receiver.

Idk what happened with pic....the plum is a lot more subtle than I thought it was gonna be...it looks black until you put it next to something that is actually black.

Bought my MAK-90 about 7 years ago had the choate skeleton stock on it and decided it was time for a change. the finish had seen better days so i stripped it down, did a new paint job, high temp engine enamel, and put the plum K-VAR stock set on it. turned out pretty good. only piece i didnt have to file on was the pistol grip.

Getting the safety back in through the retaining plate and into the hole in reciever. Everything else went according to plan.

If it came out it will go back in...make sure bolt is forward put carrier in somewhat tilted so right rail goes In first, rock down and push forward, nothing will need to be forced. Kinda one of those things you just have to get the hang of.

1. Suppressor 2. Form-4 3. Individual 4. 10/5/12 5. 10/7/12 6. 10/10/12 7. 10/24/12 8. 4/5/13 9. I called dealer on 4/17/13 they had to look for it called back said it was in...I suspect it had been there for at least a few days. 10. 4/18/13 11. ?

Its (12g) everywhere here...michigan...probably the last time u checked the guy before u panicked and bought it all. People just need to chill and let the stock catch back up. If your sitting on thousands and thousands of rounds do you really need to just keep buying out the store everytime u see it?

i got one from mississippi auto arms and it has a hard plastic insert at the end closest to hand guard that tightens down secure. no movement and the ring wont scratch barrel.

I did everything I could before touching the gas block. Polishing/profiling/parts and it worked, my gun now runs the cheap stuff perfectly I did everything but pull the gas block. Looking back had I just increased the gas from the start that may have worked also...but in my case that would have been an unnecessary step.

its cycling everything on 2 i just dont want to run the buck/slugs on that setting, auto plug is on the way.

Pre conversion: stock gun plus glass bolt. Setting 1 fired all buck and slug flawlessly. Setting 2 Federal 7 1/2 FTE every round. Post conversion: profiled/polished hammer, CSS performance puck, JTE main spring. Setting 1 FTE Rem "buckshot" 2 3/4 1325 velocity one FTF. Setting 2 fired all federal multi purpose flawlessly. So the question...since it fires the cheap bulk rounds can I just get the auto plug set it and be good to go? And out of curiosity why would setting 1 no longer cycle rounds? 4port gun all open and unobstructed.

Phoenix technologies forend with all but bottom rails removed.

Css has everything u need....u just need to add it all to cart seperatly.

lol...i thought about painting it...as i have seen alot of schemes that look awesome but my ability to replicate something like that is extremely lacking. i dont wanna do too much more cosmetically ill just stick with function. its funny ill take a drill to it no problem but stop at spray paint.

I converted my saiga 12 today, and i just want to say anyone on the fence about it, just do it! It was easy, fun and gratifying when i finished. the hardest part of the whole thing was getting the safety lever back in and once i realized i had to use some force it was cake. id like to thank the people of this site for all the valuable info and CSS for the great video tutorials and all the parts.

Got all my conversion parts in today...after having to wait a measly 2days! Got my conversion projct all ready to go for the long weekend, thanks.

J&G sales....got mine a few days ago, $99

Yeah.....im sure i could do it myself the only part that has we weary is just getting all the parts back together in working order, ive never completly gutted any of my firearms. Probably just my 'what if worst case scenerio' preventing me from doing it.
