  2. I've been collecting parts since New Years. Still waiting on my BUIS. Figure I would snap a few pics of my latest purchase(s)
  3. I know this is just a prototype as of today, but it looks promising. Being a Saiga forum I doubt it will interest most of you, but for those who use multiple platforms this may offer some benefits if you train with ARs. http://www.gunsamerica.com/blog/rhino-arms-an-ar-shotgun-that-uses-regular-12-gauge-ammo-shot-show-2014/ "The idea was to make a rifle and shotgun combination for Law Enforcement use. An agency could buy these combos and get more versatility from one registered lower. By pushing out two pins you can swap between a .308 or the 12 gauge." Price is absu
  4. I would be down for an AK with these options. This is exactly what I want and the reason I haven't purchased an AK to date. I know one could piece together parts but I am more of the "buy one fully functional/tested and change small items" guy. Since I already have a 7.62x39 AR rifle, I would love to use my ACS magazines. However, even if it didn't have that option, I would be fine purchasing normal AK magazines with all the other features offered; mainly (LRBHO, Magwell, Telescopic/folding stock, rail on the dust cover).
  5. I have AR's built for both 7.62x39 and 5.56 (close to 5.45). Felt recoil is greater for the 7.62 but its not that significant. You feel it more in your shoulder after 100rds, BUT I do not notice any difference in controllability. As for available ammo I can only speak for Oklahoma/Texas area where I live. During the "ammo crisis" the one round I could find almost anywhere I searched was 7.62x39. My contacts could also find 5.45 and 5.56 but the price increases for both of those rounds left a bad taste in my mouth. 7.62 remained "reasonable" (and I use that term lightly) throughout all
  6. Mike, My friends absolutely love my LSA Saiga 12. You cant help but smile after unloading a drum.
  7. I have mine labeled A, B & C now. I took A & B out with me this weekend. Put about 60 rounds through each A & B without any falling. When I take C with me next time I will post up the results. My "C" drum has the smallest lip where the mag release catches. Unfortunately I don't see any fix other than sending it back to ProMag if indeed it falls out. BTW - All my drums are the 12 rds which I have read to be the most reliable of the ProMag drums.
  8. I dig it! Looks like a lot of fun was had on that day. I thought for sure the guy was going in the water lol. Thanks for sharing.
  9. ^^ Thanks for posting Jack. I messaged LSA earlier to let hem know I personally looked at a friends untouched Saiga 12 after work. Your release is the same length as the oem piece give or take a mm. Mine even sits at roughly the same angle when locked in. As I thought you designed it as the oem on the magazine catch side. Since I never took note of the angle of the oem I didn't have a reference. I plan to label and test all drums next range trip. All appear the same as far as the angle of the release once locked. It matches the SGM magazine as well. I still lean towards he Promag d
  10. Neph, So you are saying that when the magazine is locked into place, the JTE/RAM tab sits at an angle against the magazine tab where the OEM would be vertical to the tab? I wasn't aware of this. Why would someone design it not to fit as the oem as far as the catch length goes? Everything JTE makes is supposed to "improve" the function. However, if indeed lengths are different and the extended magazine release doesn't fit like oem, JTE or Carolina Shooters Supply should have addressed this in the video. They make it sound like it is a direct replacement. I feel I just paid $30 to mak
  11. I actually had this same issue the last time I hit the range. I have a JT Engineering extended release. My question to the theory of the extended mag release causing the issue is this... How much difference is there between the length of the JT catch vs. OEM? It is pretty rudimentary (small flat steel w/spring). Basically the JT Engineering release looks like the oem but with a tab welded on that allows your trigger finger to release the mag. I don't see how it is the cause of the problem. I made sure after the first time it happened that I stayed away from the release with my finger
  12. Thanks for the chance to win. And asking for our wants/needs for more Saiga 12 based gear.
