I really like the factory Russian flash hider on my Saiga 12. Is there anyone willing to make one small enough for a Saiga 410?

Unfortunately I did not get a manual with this one but I did get one when I bought my Saiga 12. One of the 2 book I got with it explains the 2 armorers stamps on the sight rail side of the receiver. The stamp with the two facing E's surrounding an Arrow in a circle has a 2 digit number underneath it. That is it's Mfg /Certification date. This number should also be the same as the second and third digits in the serial number. So if the 2 digit code under the logo is 03 the serial number should start off H03XXXXXX - 2003 Mfg Date My Saiga 12 follows the same pattern. The certificat

I have been looking for a Saiga 410 for my son for a few months and just about gave up two weeks ago when i saw a IZ-104 at the Pasadena Gunshow for $619. - At that price it wasn't going to happen. I posted a WTB on theakforum and another member replied that they saw a used one at a Gander Mountain in WI. I called and they still had it. The best part was the Price... $183.24 ($149.99 + $25 shipping & $8.25 Tax) so I jumped sight unseen. So for a week I have been hoping that it wasn't trashed, missing the mag, etc. Yesterday I got the call that it arrived at the local Gander Mo

contact Tantal's Collectors Source. At one time he listed bolt carriers and stuff - He may still have some. www.tantal.kalashnikov.guns.ru

Found one!!!!!!! A member on another forum saw one at a Gander Mountain in WI and gave me a "heads up" $183.24 shipped to Texas. I'll post picts when it gets here.

I'm still looking.... - Anybody???

I am looking for one of these for my son. If you have one to sell or know a store that has one please give me a heads up. Thanks sKott

Glad to see this. I'm anxiously waiting...

I wish they would import more of the Russian 2 rounders. I'd like to get 2 more. Wonder why they don't make/import these anymore?

In the month of January I plan to add a Saiga 410 to the collection. The intended user of the 410 will be my 9 year old son but I'm sure he'll let me shoot it once in a while. I plan to convert it to a pistol grip configuration but am still undecided on the butt stock (fixed or folded) I have a IZ-109 S-12 converted to a 12C configuration and I like the overall length and have no issues with the 19" barrel. I was thinking that I would get him the same 19" barrel length. I guess my question is what would be the optimal length for a 410? Should I go with the 19" or 21.5" barrel? Is the

I plan on filling in the rest of the importer's stamp with JB weld or similar before I spray it with moly resin. - Looks kinda silly with a hole in the middle of the stamp. Did you ever get a straight answer on this?I have an AK100 stock and I have been hesitant about cutting through the markings even on my non-NFA Saigas. I use an epoxy paint over parkerizing to refinish my guns so filling the manufacturer's details with the same material appeals to me but I don't want even the possibility of being hassled about it should the situation arise. I was lucky in the fact th

I was really lucky in this respect. My import marks just kissed the surface and most came off after buffing the welds and cleaning up the cuts. If the marks were deep I would have had it welded and ground down.

I can't wait to see the picts... Is there chrome pics yet? I slid a chrome carrier from one of my AK's in there just to look and that's a LOT of chrome. I kinda like it black. So for the time being, I'll just moly-res the balance of the parts to match. I did get a hold of some Brownells lacquer stix and I whited the SN and some of the logos. I really like it on the Gas Plug "Red of Hot Loads" Besides I'm in the middle of an FAL build that is sucking all of my gun budget. I can always plate it later but I need to finish this FAL quickly.

I'm in... 4783, 2642, 3747 Kinda like the lottery.

Just playing around with the camera last weekend...

You could just drill the second slot in the receiver.

I blasted and applied Moly Resin the S12 and have had no issues with the finish coming off. just be sure to give it a good MEK bath and warm the parts before you apply the moly resin. I have a Polish underfolder that I had parkerized a few years back. Over the weekend I gave the underfolder a MEK bath and the moly resined it and the moly resin did not sitck as well. Maybe it was something I did wrong but I wont be parkerizing any more firearms before applying moly resin.

I cant find that safety stop anywhere. got a trigger guard for modding from k-var. You can get the virgin selector stops from Global Trades/Elk River tool & die for $10.99 I have a tutorial on the mod... http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?showto...06&hl=skott

I'm a little partial to the 12-C style...

2 round mags are difficult at best to come by. I have one and wish I could find 2 more.

I got mine from Gilberts last October. They have great Customer Service.

I've seen that done but that's not my style. I like to plate the carriers because the carrier gets a lot of use and the finish seems to get damaged a lot easier. Besides I just like the way it looks. This is my Polish Underfolder with a polished carrier

Plating does add some thickness. I was told do not plate the bolt. It will not function properly if you plate it.

Did you have to polish it yourself before plating? Do you have to send it in with the piston removed? They did everything turn key. I just sent the factory painted carrier with the piston attached. However they did it the piston and the bolt cam area did not get plated.

Classic Arms uses Elite Custom Plating (I believe they are next door to Classic) They have plated 2 of my AK carriers. I plan on sending them my AMD 65 carrier and my Saiga 12 carrier as well. Here's a sample: I think I paid $62 shipped.
