ever fight with something for hours and then read a tip like that and feel like a complete idiot for not thinking of it before?

man I would like to buy that but I just can't afford it right now

surplus mags would not fit in mine properly. my catch was too long. I've got it stripped right now waiting on something to smash rivets with.

well crap, I just emailed him to see what was up. I took apart my saiga mag and made one of mine work, well it loads and seems to feed ok. my gun isn't fully converted yet so I don't have the trigger group in it just yet.

don't forget the 7.62x39! or the 410! or 20!

while I am sorry to the people that have gotten the "vodka specials" I have had 4 of Saiga 12s(still have 3) and all of them would cycle federal bulk pack stuff from wal-mart right out of the box. no break in, no modifications, just slap in a mag full and rock n roll, before conversion, and after conversion. I've pheasant hunted and dove hunted with mine. I've shot rifled slugs through one until there was big lead streaks down the barrel. For a long while I didn't know that the puck was supposed to come out because I had built up enough carbon on mine to hold it in by shooting it so much betwe

woops didn't notice a picture didn't load. refreshed and answered my own question.

Interested in the rings if the trade is a no go.

Got a package with my Magazine bodies today! Hopefully my springs followers and floor plates will be here soon too.

I just got an email saying that he is shipping out my stuff today, now to play the waiting game again to see if they actually arrive.

I bought my first Saiga 12 in 04 and it was $240 then. I think they were even cheaper before that

Gah! you stole my idea! good to know it will look good when I get around to doing it.

which caliber is that barrel?

Yeah I think my butts going to be sore for a while over this one. Edit 11-1-11 Maybe not, I just got an email saying he has been dealing with customs and hopes to have the issues resolved with them in the next 3-5 business days and will let me know when it is. So maybe he will make it right, or maybe I'm just preparing to go back over the barrel of hope.

If you try it let us know, JB weld was my plan when I convert my new one.

that does look interesting, how much longer is the contest?

I last heard from him was on the 30th Edited to ad: I emailed him after posting and he sent back today 10-18 that he has my parcel packed and is planning to ship in the next few days and appologized for the delay.

Wish I had a mag to try it out with but all I have is the factory one currently

I bought a bullet guide from CSS and haven't installed it yet. they said on their website that it was for the 5.45. it is the round trunnion version at the ramp i measure .106 inch with an over all thickness of .168 at it's thickest point. I have a trunnion from a Bulgarian AK74 that still has the bullet guide installed. I think it is a flat model and measures .131 at the ramp and .199 ish overall. maybe .2 inch. it's kinda hard to tell without taking it apart.

I just wanna check. the only ones who got their stuff lost is WhoDat, Milk and me. right?

I just used the channel lock with a small bold method I saw on youtube to swap out mine. Worked like a charm so long as I didn't let go in between taking out the old one and putting in the new one. couldn't get it to stay put to put the old sight in the donor sight block.

I live in Kansas, there are no laws here about magazine size. Why would they take mine?

so maybe I should see if he will send in two shipments? mine was only 4 mags

well shit I guess I better email him too. been damn near a month and nothing

hmmm mine says it was shipped 26.08.2011.....
