Where did you get yours elvis? I'd like to see a picture of it if possible.

So is it not possible to do a folding conversion (without milling the receiver)?

Well the Ace folding stock I'm looking at is about $185 and seems to be a super easy install. The only thing I don't really like the look of having the trigger that far back. I've seen the video of the DIY conversion ( ) but I'm just scared to screw up my saiga 12. I only have a dremal and hammer.(no vice) So is it truely that easy to do the conversion? Would I be able to do a folding stock conversion? Links to all the parts I would need would be great..... (If this is already posted I didn't see it please don't flame me.)

Never made it off the ground, IIRC it was a whole lot of tooling up front and was going to be too expensive of a mag Looks like 10 rounds to me Joe, you need to account for some room at the buttom for the spring and follower

Well I have a poly choke and some 7 1/2 shell loads which is .095 and some color activated turkey targets. I've never been turkey hunting but am willing to help out a fellow saiga turkey hunter. So I should aim for the head right (like I said I've never been turkey hunting)? I could do 1 shot each at 25 yards, 50 yards and 75 yards and post the pictures here. Unrelated I always though it would be easier to shoot a turkey with a .308 till someone told me that wouldn't leave much meat to eat. Or at least shoot them in the head with a .22 rifle. I just think birdshot would get in all the meat

I've thought about trying to bend some flat sheet metal but its more complicated then you would think. I'm pretty sure it could be done since its been done for years with the AK-47. I don't want to give away any of my ideas but I've been trying to develop a cool mag of my own. Personally I think for me the way to go is high tech plastic.

What size shot you plan on using? I've only used 7 1/2 and 00# buck. So thats about all I know. Isn't turkey shooting less then 75 yards?

Seriously where can i get this not on this guys ebay?

Seriously that is what it is for? It looks cool, but wouldn't the blades retract back in if you tried to stab someone? Also anyone know were you can buy one of these if they are $20 I'd get one just to have it if it screws on to the barrel. :-)

Thanks an answer finally

I just just joking around I hope people on this forum are smart enough to see you never said that and its obviously a joke in hopes of getting Tony to work on a gun faster.

Does Melissa take paypal?

So if you pay tony alittle more maybe you can get ahead in the line I'm jk

Does anyone know the true wait time for Tony conversions? I don't see anything on his website. Where do people even get in line?

I wouldn't deal with anyone who charged $100 for a safety check on a rifle which generally runs $100 or less... unless you got a nice Finn or sniper model, that is. I'd charge you $20 to use a long string and shoot your nagant rifle a few times to see if it is safe after my quick inspection. I also do saiga 12 inspections but they are more extensive. I take your gun for 1 to 2 years and use it when ever I'm at the range and report back to you each time I shoot it how fun it was.

Yes and price? Also link to there site or contact info?

Wow I'd slap a ace stock on and see if they know the diff and charge $1000

How much fitting does it require? Some grinding? I do have a good dremal . What happens to the BHO? Thanks for the info Greg.

It seems like all the places I have been looking to do a FCG change are sold out. Are they truely drop in kits that easy? I've seen some online for $29.99 but they are always sold out. Any links would be great. Also only intrested if they are US made. One more question: The "TAPCO Saiga Rifle Gas Piston" does it just screw in? I've seen them for about $15 and they are US made, any difference from the tromix? Also pictures on the gas piston would be great. Hope I'm not asking too much. Already tried the search function don't flame me please.

Why the heck would you pay $100 for a saftey check on a nagant? How much did you even pay for the rifle? Wouldn't a good enough saftey check be seeing if you can fire it at the range with the saftey on. Is there a problem with some nagant rifles that I don't know about? Also back on topic I thought a true conversion requires a bit of drilling and welding...

I didn't think of it till now but if its plastic there are plenty of spray paints that would stick great to them. People could spray paint them whatever they wanted and leave small areas to see how many shells are still in the mag. Would have been pretty cool.

lipadj46 can you let us know how that conversion works out. I'd like to see pictures if possible and how much it cost.

I think the poly choke helps. I was using mine to tighten the pattern for longer range. I didn't have range rules to worry about like other people so I was just bump firing as acruate as possible till I hit it. The only problem I had was trying to sight the clay. If you want to be any good you will need to get a better sight that is just stock on the saiga. I don't know if anyone else has had a sighting problem doing clays but I think it might have been that I was using 7 1/2 bird shot at a high angle over 50 yards...

I'm from Albuquerque I though I could find a relable gun smith here but after looking for a year they seem like they don't want to try anything. So I've given up. I've asked a few gunsmiths if they could add a detchable magazine to my bolt action rifle and they told me it wasn't possible. I'm sure if I asked Tony and he had the time he would do it he could. From the people I've talk to it seems like they only do repairs and maintance. I'd actually be surpised if there are any in Albuquerque that have done anything to a saiga. The ones I've seen at the range I go to didn't even know wha

100% correct good response Bob.
