    Tromix makes this bezel spot on the top edge of the receiver. Here is an example that I was able to find:

    BigChris, that was my original question (with respect to the "Safe" position, specifically).

    If you have the dust cover off, you can force the safety selector to disengage via pull of the trigger, but it should take a lot of pull (i.e. more than the weight of the firearm with fully loaded magazine). The dust cover doubles as the final stopping mechanism for the travel in the safety selector. The first rule in performing any type of functional check, inspection, part removal (of any kind), etc. is to unload and clear the firearm. As long as you do that, and have the dust cover installed during live fire operation, you will have no issues with the safety disengaging (assuming proper FCG

    That sounds like a good idea; I think the small bevel alone will make a pretty significant reduction in that "spring action" out of the selector travel once it reaches the top of the receiver. On back end of the "head" of the selector there is a slight protrusion that makes secondary contact with the receiver that provide the tension contact against the receiver once the primary dimple passes the edge of the receiver. This secondary contact has a pretty pronounced edge on it, that catches above the upper edge of the receiver once the selector begins to over-travels; this looks like it adds ano

    Compared to the Saiga rifles, the primary dust cover on the shotgun receivers have a longer notch on side with the charging handle to allow for clearance of the ejected shells. The problem that I have seen with this is that the safety selector, when pushed upward to the "Safe" position, frequently travels well beyond the top of the receiver, only stopping after it begins to set underneath the dust cover. This can make it rather awkward and difficult to move the safety into the "Fire" position, even with a modified safety selector (like the Krebs Mark VI-S). I am thinking that possibly

    That is sick! And your video production on that ad turned out very nice; I especially liked you music choice--it has me amped up!

    This is outstanding news! The innovation that you are breathing into the Saiga/AK industry is truly monumental and exciting!

    There is only ever two--master and apprentice. And now that the master is gone, it is time for the apprentice to take the throne

    I would start here: http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?/topic/13312-picture-post-lets-see-your-saiga-12/ It is a pinned thread in the Saiga-12 sub-forum where lots of members have loaded up pics of their converted/modified/personalized Saigas. Here is the link to the same topic in the 7.62x39mm sub-forum: http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?/topic/13290-picture-postlets-see-your-762x39/

    Here is a link to an article on the ATF website that summarize/describes firearms included in NFA registration. http://www.atf.gov/publications/download/p/atf-p-5320-8/atf-p-5320-8-chapter-2.pdf In short for a shotgun, if the barrel (including any permanently attached muzzle device, which is qualified in the above article) is under 18" in length or if the overall shotgun is less than 26" (i.e. back of receiver to front of the barrel), then it is subject to NFA registration. With respect to the Saiga shotguns, there are some issues with how much gas is passed through the gas ports b

    Looks so industrial...so efficient.....so cold. Would make mother Russia proud.

    I believe that Cobra 76 two was working on this for a while several years ago and had some quite functional prototypes. I seem to recall that he was on the verge of setting them up for production but I never heard what happened with them (I was absent from the forum for a couple of years). You might hit him up and see if he has info to pass along.

    The list of options on all of the Tromix 12ga shotguns list a SRTrigger as an available upgrade for $85. What exactly is the SRTrigger?

    I posted these questions in the Tech Section several days ago but have not received a single response, so I'm re-posting here in case the people in the know have missed it. Surely somebody on this board has some type of experience with replacing the gas block and front sight block! A few questions regarding replacing the front sight block and gas block on the IZ-132 7.62x39 Saiga. 1.)

    Is there not a single person here who has any experience or knowledge about the gas block or front sight base?

    The general rule I like to follow is assume that you will always use foreign-made high capacity magazines and covert enough of the other parts on the 922® list reach at least the 10 total foreign parts. This way you can use either U.S.-made or foreign-made mags with no worries (and this is great as many times the foreign-made mags are much cheaper). There is tons of excellent information on this forum as well as a very straightforward guide at http://www.cross-conn.com/Saiga_Conversion/ on how to replace enough of these parts to achieve this goal.

    Are there any plans to make the .30Cal rifle shark brakes avaiable again? The S-12 shark brake is just so wickedly awesome I can't imagine building a Saiga AK without one of these on it!

    Once you install your ACE receiver block on your milled or stamped AK, any stock or accessory that attaches to it can be used. They make receiver blocks for both types of receiver. I only see one type of internal receiver block on the ACE website, and I don't see that it specifies anywhere whether it is for milled or stamped receivers. I have read elsewhere on this forum that people have used this on their Saigas, which is what I would like to do. I'm not sure what the difference is between a milled or a stamped receiver, nor which one the Saiga 7.62x39 is considered to be.

    I've seen several AK buttstocks that state they must be used with either milled or stamped receivers--if one uses the ACE internal receiver block, does that limit the choice of buttstocks to one or the other, or can both milled and stamped receiver buttstocks work?
