You could want Miss Saiga, but the 13th Amendment prevents you from owning her. I'd be amenable to contributing items for a raffle in place of sales-based contributions (in whole or in part). One forum I list on preferred that method.

All good points. Here's what I have to add in addition. There are two reasons that pistol grips came with semi and full auto guns. They have nothing to do with the pistol grip facilitating the rate of fire, as antis claim. 1.) A bolt action doesn't need to be any longer than the magazine and the trigger assembly, all of which go in front of the grip. With an autoloader, the action has to be at least twice as long as the cartridge, because the bolt has to cycle its whole length back in order to feed another round. On a bolt action, the bolt moves behind the receiver, through the pos

They will fit with necessary machining, which I can do. I have several take-off handguards for this purpose. Anyone seriously interested please message or E-mail me.

Pittsburgh is actually only mildly blue. It's Phili that's all blue, and probably the current capital of voter fraud. Now where does our governor come from?

Will offer $50 for the 20x buttstocks. Please advise.

BPS is the only affordable 10ga repeater out there as far as I know, and you're lucky to get one for $400. I would pick the synthetic version myself. I was watching one on Auctionarms for under $300, but it had some sort of prominent "residue" as they called it over the gun. Perhaps in retrospect a smith refurbishment job would have fixed it. I would like to get one some day. Yeah, I was thinking the same thing about S-10. QS-10, maybe?

Once in a while somebody says how cool they think a Saiga-10 would be. Just because 10ga is the biggest shotgun round out there that's allowed for hunting in the US. And of course the reality is that NO, the Russians will not make us a Saiga-10. But that's not stopping us from making one, with changes to the design that make it more feasible to make in the US. Not that anyone really NEEDs one at all. Although there are folks who like the 10ga for hunting, and some of us would just plain want one. Most 10ga repeaters out there are autoloaders, due to the recoil reduction achieved by

I'm currently doing a good bit of review of my operations, time, and expenses. Eventually I expect to make a "state of the union" type of post, but the gist of things is that I will be estimating turnaround times according to a projected schedule. I'm going to try to hold pricing as much as possible, but some items or options may go up. There's a possibility that I may tip the pricing balance more in favor of production items and charge more for custom orders than at present. Or possibly offer an option for a lower price at a longer lead time, which would allow me to make stocks in assembl

Certainly wouldn't want to trash on innovation, and I'm all for study exercises. Sometimes something developed for one machine will have an unexpected advantage for another.

AOW includes smoothbore handguns of any caliber. DD includes "nonsporting" shotguns. If the bore is under 50 cal, it is rifled, and it never had a buttstock, it could be a regular handgun. Me, if I had a slug barrel on something, I'd want a decent length and a shoulder stock. If I had an affordable ammo solution, I might really go for a rifled barrel conversion of a Saiga 20 or 12ga.

I've made "blank" furniture that has the connection points and inletting doen for the Saiga but is otherwise a block for the buyer to shape as he desires. E-mail me if interested.

Cvasqu03 was an excellent buyer for a niche item with customized details. His timing was excellent and he was very helpful with giving me as much information as he could about what he wanted.

Even better, you have a 5, a 3, and... wow... a 1! I'd emphasize that one in your shoes.

I'm #6.

I know you said you're not interested in 922R issues, but I can't think of any way you can get your Saiga US compliant with that stock and not replacing any FCG parts. A US made FCG modified for Saigas would be $65 from me. In fact that's exactly the price difference you listed. With the ACE stock, you'd still need to replace 3 more parts with US made ones, but at least it would be doable. The Ace stock + FCG + piston would do it.

You can thread the muzzle all you like if the rifle is US compliant, just make sure your muzzle attachment is US made or that you put a US piston in there to offset it while keeping the stock handguard. My Saiga X39 has the factory handguard, K-var buttstock, SAW grip, and Polish synth mag that all match in texture. It's a really neat combination.

A furniture set for the Saiga 100 would start at $140 shipped. This is one step up from the price for other Saiga rifles due to larger size and a more complicated attachment point on the buttstock. If I did a mag + furniture compliance package, it would probably include a couple mags and a price break for the package. Can't say how soon, except that it would be at least a few months before I could even start, and even then I would have to R&D a bit. As I said, I would estimate the investment value at about $4000, and I would have to sell about a hundred mags before it starts t

THANK you for restoring the editing feature. Let's everyone show our apprectation by making the most sensible contributions to this forum's discussions.

Check this thread for general overview. http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?showtopic=9471 And PM me to discuss an order. Pricing would be more than using an NHM stock, but it will be made in the US to your specs and will count for US parts compliance.

Well now you've given some more key criteria - your price range. From this point it's simple. If you want hi-cap mags and best accuracy, get a Saiga X39. 20" barrel if it's your preference. Probably about $300 after fees. Add about $100 and your labor to do the P-grip conversion and mod for hi-cap mags. Then you can buy optics, other accessories, and ammo. Any dimensional/structural advantages of the thicker receiver will be most likely offset by the current manufacturing quality of the Saiga vs the used military condition of most other models. I have to say that I think you'r

Bingo. That's if you don't convert (which you can, even if you don't go all out like Tromix.) That's a drop in package with an improved stock and fresh mag, which would be legal with the factory mag too. But people who want to save the most $$, prefer synth furniture, or just don't like mine could finish their parts compliance with a $20 piston.

If you want top accuracy and are willing to go with a 16" barrel, a milled SLR modded to take hi-caps is the best deal out there, even though no longer produced. Perhaps comprable prices and quality would be had with a professionally built threaded barreled model on a Firing Line receiver. You'll probably pay a fair majority of a grand on that.

Keeping ads to contributors only, on high and low levels, is something I consider to be a step forward. One that will help people to give this forum its due and drastically improve conduct in the For Sale section, all in the same action. Keeping this forum going up and not down is everyone's business. That includes being part of the solution instead of jumping on a negative bandwagon. It also means speaking your mind to management POLITELY and with an awareness that what you and they have in common is wanting to make this forum a good and attractive place for good people, and make sure

Chvymann's concern for buyer satisfaction is impeccable, as was the timeliness of his shipping and quality of his communication. He does honest business and stands behind what he sells, even though just an individual, not a business. The one area where he fell short in our transaction was in the area of knowledge of what he was selling. The details are between us and everything is resolved. He is very patient and willing to communicate and offer favorable terms to those considering his items, so take the time to research and ask thorough questions before finalizing a deal, instead of ex

That would be the AR-15. Yes it is chambered for X39, requiring different magazines. But you probably want something AK or SKS based, right? The most accurate with that barrel length would be an Arsenal RPK on a milled receiver. Expect to pay over a grand. You do not want to use hi-caps in an SKS, unless it was originally made to take AK mags. You can get them in 20" barreled versions, but expect to pay a bit. Even then, reliability is still better in an AK. For SKS reliability, keep the original mag. You are not ready to build an AK if you do not have experience owning, strip
