  1. Does an Arsenal AK74 LHG fit the SAIGA 7.62x39? I have a bolt-on retaining plate. Thanks for your help.
  2. Could someone post some pictures of both and explain the mods required to be performed on the gun. Thanks.
  3. Anyone knows who sells them? Thanks.
  4. I think they might be referring to the small pack of red polishing compound that comes with most Dremel kits. My local Home Depot sells it stand-alone on the end cap with all the other Dremel accesories. I used it on mine and the results were very good. Not the caliber of Paul or Cobra's work, but pretty darned smooth and it cycles everything I've tried so far, including Wally World bulk. It's jewelers polishing compound. Red rouge. Get it at a hobby store, or order it from a jewelers supply (for a fraction of the cost), but the OP is correct, it will work as long as you have taken the

  6. Guys, What is this "Red Compound"? I was just at Walmart and then went to a automotive store, but couldn't find anything except the Mcguire stuff made for removing scratch and polishing rims.
  7. Guys thanks for your feedback. Since I converted my SAIGA's, about 18 months ago, I have only put about 20-30 rounds (mostly buckshot) thru each gun. Before taking it to the range, I checked the gas port, and all three have 4 holes (I think). Also, polished the bolt, etc for the best reliability and smoothness. But that's about all the testing I have done per gun (20-30 rounds each). Now, to evaluate reliability (Formally) we need to compute the mean-time-between-failure (MTBF), which is the avg number of shots after which the gun fails. e.g. after about 100 rounds gun FTE. But to co
  8. Have patience grasshopper...
  9. Hi guys, Do you think the SAIGA (Converted or Unconverted) is reliable enough to be used for Home Defense? Edited: FYI: I have 3 that I have converted! Yes three and I love all three of them. But I am just wondering, as that's the gun I leave accessible for my wife when I go out of town on buz.
  10. in stock? I have been in the middle of two conversions for over two months. The conversions are completed and for the moments, one has the TAPCO AK stock and the other the original Saiga. I have been on ACE's waiting list for the parts since Nov. and I am getting really tired of this. Any help is really appreciated.

    IM sent for the Polychoke if selling.
  12. Thanks Dragon, good Info. The 7.62x39 conversion seems pretty easy. How is the S12 conversion different from the 7.62?
  13. Hi all, I am new to this forum and having a hell of a time finding the conversion instruction for an S12. Can someone point me out in the right direction. Thanks

    Brand spanking new real EOTech - by the way I didn't know anyone made EOTech copies - but I divest . Also, sighted the gun with EOTech at 25yds - as much as you can with 5-6"grouping. So sounds like the good news is that SAIGAs are suppose to be much more accurate, based on your first hand experience!
