  1. I got the OK to post these from the original poster over on Brian Enos website. Thank you going out to "3-Gun Sweden" on that Forum for

    posting them and then allowing me to post these here.

    Notice the nice stippling job on the grip also. I hope we get these imported into the U.S. sometime soon! Lots of fun...

  2. Picked up my MKA1919 yesterday and really like it but I have some questions about making some modifications. I'm thinking about changing a few things. The stock, the grip and the handguard. Not sure which stock adapter I'm going with. Don't know anyone that has the Firebird adapter instock. I kind of like the looks of Tony's(Tromix) adapter more anyway. I'd like to put a Magpul ACS stock on it, so what would I need to make an AR buffertube/receiver extension fit onto Tony's adapter? Looks like I'd need an ACE Stocks "Hognose" adapter, am I right?

     

    Also, how hard is it to mod the receiver to install Tony's grip adapter? I know that you have to cut off the factory grip, but how hard is the procedure to do? Is it a precision job? Can a person do this themself?

     

    I really like the Firebird aluminum handguard. Will be thinking of adding one when they are released.

     

    Thanks for any help!!

  3. Got mine home, really like it so far!! Got it from Cheaper Than Dirt, they have the Eksen manufactured shotguns. They guys at the gunstore

    were really digging it, they had never seen or heard of these shotguns. The owner asked for a range report whenever I could get time to test

    it.

  4. No big deal to me about missing the sale on the MD drums, Mike will have them on sale again

    sooner or later. I might buy a ProMag for now. I'm in no hurry and I will buy from Mike

    sooner or later, as I've heard that he's a good guy to do business with.

    Just to make sure of any doubts - I wasn't bashing Mike, I was bashing myself for waiting.

  5. Guess I waited too long, the MD mags are back up to $120 this morning. I'll wait until they are on sale

    again, I thought this sale went until the end of January. I'm gonna order a ProMag 12 rounder or two in

    the mean time.

  6. I already have an S12 and wanted a MD 20round drum for it and figured that I might go ahead and order one today.

    I was kinda watching their website, mainly the 20round drum with the clear back, this morning and saw that there

    was 100 instock. I kept refreshing the page every now and then and was watching the number and every now and then,

    it would drop by one or two. It was down to 95 when I went to eat lunch with my wife. When I got back, I refreshed

    the page and "wow", they were sold out! I get the feeling that someone bought a large number (or all) of them. The

    black back and smoke back drums didn't seem to drop in number much.

  7. If this pans out to be about Saigas, I'll be snagging another S12 that I know of in an out-of-the-way gunstore

    on monday. It's a 22 inch barrel, but it'll work.

  8. That looks a standard AK print. It is a nice print, but I do not think that it is accurate for a Saiga 12.

     

    You are correct, it is indeed for a AK rifle, however it will work in locating the pistolgrip nut hole because it is in the same exact location on both the rifle and shotgun. I used that template when I converted my S12 several years ago. The square with the X in it is the hole that needs to be marked and cut.

  9. Ok. but what parts? A complete bolt? The bolt carrier? Extractor? Firing spring & pin? Lets say in 10 years no parts are available. What parts should be purchased for safe keeping? Better safe than sorry.

     

     

    I'd email Doug first and see what he has in stock and how many parts are available. You'll probably have to buy a complete bolt. Everything on the S12 is built so tank-like, I doubt you'll have trouble with anything but the small parts contained in the bolt. I do remember some guys had trouble with the carrier cracking where the piston screwed into it. But I don't know if this was a widespread problem or not. I'm not sure if it was even cracking, they thought it might have been. Like you noted-better to be safe than sorry.

  10. Tantal - also known as Doug Ford of Texas used to stock spare parts for the Saiga line of shotguns. I don't know if he still does, but he has it noted on his website that he still has parts for them. He's a super guy to deal with! You'll probably have to email him for a price list, and I'll warn you now - his website is packed with eyecandy!!! I love looking on his site!! Here's a link: Doug Ford/Tantal Website.
