If I was you, I would buy a VEPR-12. Lucky son of a gun...

Why must things like this happen to me. I haven't even converted my S12 yet and they decide to import VEPRs. *cries*

We'll see the prices stop rising. They'll drop if we're lucky. I can't imagine that there would be any demand left if prices hit $800. I haven't even gotten around to converting mine because the $650 price tag set me back so far.

It would have to be fitted properly around the Saiga's barrel. The process would just involve making the inside larger.

Well the process of fitting a pump onto a Saiga would just involve cutting out the innards, forming the lip that locks the grip in place, and drilling a hole for the screw. The other way around doesn't seem all that easy.

$275 for the unfinished version is insane. That's $125 more than the converted set. I'd rather not.

Crazy new plan. What if I modified the pump for a regular shotgun to fit on my Saiga? It appears that all that holds the handguard in place is one screw and that groove. Doesn't seem too hard, right?

Now begins the hard part. Do I spend $300+ converting my Saiga with a wood stock or just spend $200 and convert it with a more tactical stock? That KVAR 022 RPK foregrip is a cheap shortcut to achieving a "tactical" flavor, but it's a little bit fake really. You should get the Dinzag parts and the lower and upper handguard to give your gun the authentic configuration. S12 SWAT I would consider the RPK grip but it is not available in wood. It's my second choice.

A wood AK handguard has been done and it looks pretty nice in my opinion. I'm basically trying to find out what hardware I need to install an Ironwood stock. From the looks of it, all I need is a lower handguard retainer for the lower handguard. If I wanted to install the upper handguard, I would also need to purchase a new gas tube, but that is entirely optional. Will I be able to attach the lower handguard to my Saiga with these parts?

So just for clarification, I just need one of these and then I can attach a lower handguard fitted for the Saiga 12 like this? I really don't feel like replacing my gas tube just for the unused upper handguard, so that shouldn't be a problem. Am I on the right page?

I want to put wood furniture on my Saiga and have seen that other people have done it. What do I need to do to install an AK handguard on a Saiga 12? If someone could link me to a wooden handguard specifically for the Saiga, that would also be ok.

What's the advantage of these? How do they compare to Promag?

I have been thinking of buying a Krebs bolt-on sight and simply removing the rear sight to get something similar to a traditional shotgun sight. Good idea?

I like my sight as far down the gun as possible. All of the front sights I have seen have been over $100 and really big and distracting. Are there any cheap minimalist sights out there that go on the barrel? Something comparable to an elevated bead sight?
