AKATTACK

I made mine from a AK trigger guard, just like sKott did. Mine looks exactly like his does. Just took a regular AK guard, cut it with a Dremel and filed it to shape and smoothness. This is how the original Saiga 12 shotgun's triggerguards were made. Here's a picture of an original Saiga 12:

+1 for Doug Ford!! Good guy to do business with.

I got mine from Ruseller a few years back, but Kreb's makes a version here in the U.S. also. Here's a link to their page with the sights, they are about half-way down the page: Kreb's Custom .

all your bases are belong to us resistance is futile

It almost looks like the piston is cross-threaded into the carrier, then the crack was caused when it was "dimpled" in place. It may just be the angle of the pics. AKATTACK

Anyone seen these? They are russian-style folding stocks that are assembled into a "block" that fits into the receiver and uses screws to attach them, just like a Romanian side-folder! You leave the original rear trunion in place, and looks like there's a latch built into the block to keep the stock locked when it's folded. It doesn't look as good as the original folder that comes on the original guns, but it would have a longer length of pull and you could remove it at any time. What do you guys think? Looks pretty neat to me!! With the U.S. mags, fire control group and a U.S. made pis

Just remember that when the Saigas are imported with the monte style stock, the trigger has been moved rearward so the stock needs to be bigger so that the length of pull is correct. When you do the conversion and move the trigger back where it's supposed to be, the folder will be the correct size. AKATTACK

I'm speechless! I didn't get in on this first batch, but I'll be in on the next run!! Thanks for the review, Cobra. They look great! AKATTACK

I knew that I had read somewhere that some of the original Saigas wouldn't fire with the stock closed due to Russian laws. Turns out that these are the short-barreled Saigas that are made to be sold in Russia. Seems Russia has a law on overall length and with the stock folded, it's too short, so the gun is setup to be inoperable when the stock is folded. When the stock is unfolded, it becomes operable~if only things were this easy in America! All is explained in the second paragraph of info at this website: World Weapon Directory. AKATTACK

Ohhh, an original will fire with the stock folded just fine! LOL! Thanks K1196A, I wasn't sure. I was hoping that someone would chime in and let us know. AKATTACK

Looks good! I didn't use a pistolgrip reinforcement plate, I don't think that these were used on the original Saiga 12s. Probably wouldn't hurt to use one if you are installing a folding stock on your Saiga and plan on shooting it with the stock folded, the plate is supposed to keep the receiver from cracking around the pistolgrip nut hole. From what I can remember, this is not a problem with the original Saiga, because it has a mechanism in place that prevents it from being fired while the stock is folded. I believe that is because of a law in Russia, if I remember correctly. Can any of

Here's a pic of the original Saiga triggerguard on the top, the botom pic is the one I made from a regular AK guard. It just took some careful work with a dremel and then a little file work. AKATTACK

I found the thread with info about the modification of the shotgun shell, he used JB Weld to reinforce the shell. Here's a link to the thread: Click here! It's the 7th post from the top. Hope this helps~AKATTACK

Any of you senior members remember the guy that lived in the Florida Everglades that posted the pics of the Saiga that he had fitted into the bullpup stock? He posted pics of his solution to the deformation problem. What he did was he used epoxy to "fill-in" the front of the shell-the area in front of the disk. The epoxy hardened and provided strength to the front of the shell, this kept it from deforming and upon firing, the epoxy was supposed to be expelled just like/along with the disk. He also noted to NOT use this method on the crimped shotgun shells, ONLY use it on the shells with th

Cobra, was this the mag that had the extension on it? I saw this and really wondered what the hell that was on the bottom of the mag! Pretty neat, I hope we can get some of these. AKATTACK

I'd be in for a couple of the extensions! AKATTACK

Has anyone ever seen one of these stocks? Kind of interesting, but I still prefer a "converted" Saiga more. When adding this stock, I believe that it's Russian, it'd be hard to come up with enough U.S. made parts. Here's a link to Cope's: Cope's Distributing.

I had mostly lost my enthusiasm for my Saiga 12 because I don't have any mags over 5 rounds. I kept checking back to see how this was going and I must say that I feel the fever coming back!! Thanks for the good work and dedication to make this happen!! AKATTACK

Anyone know of another source, besides K-VAR, for the Bulgarian buttstock pads? I've got a friend who is in need of one. K-VAR is sold out for the time being. Here's what he needs: Thanks in advance-AKATTACK

1. Here's a link to the letter from the B.A.T.F.E. to Wes at Soupbowl Enterprises when he inquired about the legal parts count of several imported firearms. Notice that the Saiga shotguns are listed as "H" in the right-hand column, followed by the numbers that correspond with the list of parts on the left-hand side. B.A.T.F.E. LETTER 2. The Saigas are already made to take the single-hook triggers, but there's not much you have to do to make them accept a double-hook. You just have to make another notch on the other side of the front of the trigger opening. I'd just go with a single.

He's referring to the Bush Sr.'s non-sporting import gun ban of 1989, but I'm not certain that this law was what prohibited the importation of these particular configurations of weapons from being imported. I'll have to do some research. AKATTACK

Topmaul, I don't know how to go about registering or bidding on this equipment, but it shouldn't be too hard. It's U.S. Gov't surplus items up for auction and here's a link to 1 lot of GP medium tents on auction. Check it out, hope this helps! http://cgi.govliquidation.com/auction/view?id=693068 You will need to check out the home page for more info. AKATTACK

This accessory has been discussed on this forum before, and everyone decided to steer clear of it because it is made of polymer, not steel. AKATTACK

Hell I can't find them either!
