Pics or we have no idea WHAT you are talking about.

[Inserting a Mag]

As long as the shell feeds, NO PROBLEM.

[cold blue bare metal before painting?]

To make paint adhere to metal,use an etching primer. It gets some 'tooth' in the metal to keep it from flaking off.

Search the old threads, This has been well covered "back in the day".

 If you are having a 'smith build it, I would recommend bringing the 'smith in from the beginning. Use His expertise of what works, and where to source the components.

[COVID-19]

Pretty sure we had it in Dec, too.

[what do I have ?]

It is a working tool, shoots smiles !

[best drum magazines for 410]

Try cleaning the chamber.   A .45 brass or stainless bore brush fits good. Clean crap out of it. Give it a TINY bit of oil, 0w is good because it wipes nearly dry but whatever you oil your barrel with is fine.

[COVID-19]

Some dumb labor in the Wu-Flu bioweapons lab sold some bats to the wet market for a few Yen.

[what do I have ?]

Looks like a working tool.

Doesn't need to be anything else.

[what do I have ?]

Nice score!

[Saiga 20 rear trunnion? Need help!!]

You need an AK-100 series rear trunnion to duplicate the original.

[PLEASE HELP gas plug and puck]

Use anti-seeze on the blind plug threads. You will thank me.

[COVID-19]

I think it is a good time to clean my Saigas.

Staying safe, well stocked. Y'all do the same.

"May you live in interesting times". Old Chinese curse

[Modification to repair FTE issues on Saigas with blocked gas ports]

Grind broken pin flat. Use THAT to start the pin (left to right) It is designed like that.

[Russian/Saiga survival knife]

Alcohol problem?

[Double stack mag progress/33rd drum]

BURN OLD PHONES! Water does not erase memory. Fire does!

[Post the first thing that comes to mind!]

A dead thread arises in this ancient crypt!

[Wood stove partially through door or wall? For asthma reasons]

Get a wood stove with a water jacket. Put it in an outbuilding, but a radiator where you want radiant heat,problem solved!

[early squareback stock finish]

Water clear urethane. The water based kind.

[80% ??]

This.

[S12 Winnie binding up the travel of bolt?]

Blend the edge, and when using that ammo, use dry molly on that part . A little bit works wonders.

[80% ??]

The front trunnion is the serial numbered part. This negates any value in replacing the sheet metal housing normally called the 'receiver' on AK's.

[No new posts here why?]

Yeah, the import ban was a turd in the punch bowl.

[How should I demil this round?]

There is no way to SAFELY de-mill heavily corroded ordinance. The chemical primer and propellant may become very unstable, and if HE or incendiary may be even MORE unstable.

An ex girlfriend from high school's father had a nest of Civil War cannon balls on his hearth. She later dated a UDT Sailor who took one look and called the bomb squad - the cannon balls were filled with LIVE  black powder. A spark from the fireplace could have blown the entire house up!

Leave it to someone who Knows what they are working on, and have training on safely de-milling!

I stand by my first comment.
