  1. I'm looking for a rail forearm for my 103K and like the looks of the Ultimak standard rail - anyone have one? fit,weight,etc.

     

    Also considering UTG (I know) but would like to not use the gas tube cover if anyone has experience with either.

  2. This is a Krebs conversion on a Saiga 12 - It has been stripped,welded, and re-finished by Krebs. The quality of the work is first rate, anyone that has been around AK's for long can tell you their quality is among the best if not the best - you just pay for it. Probably 75-200 rounds shot through it with no problems. It took about 8 months to get as I wanted them to install the ACE sidefolder there. It was pretty spendy and dificult to get them to install it and I guess they are not offering this service anymore for ACE sidefolders but, I wanted it documented in case of Legislation. It comes with their peep sights,two stage trigger,and bolt hold open safety with finger ledge.

     

    Also included is 4 like new 2nd Gen AGP Mags - two of which were used at the range, and one N.I.B. MD20 Drum w smoked cover and spare spring. Also included is a Tromix handguard that has been professionally modified with a LH siderail. 5Rd. magazine and factory tools are included as well. Please note that Grips/Lights/Kobra pictured are not included.

     

    Price is $1750 (which is what I'm into it)+ shipping and will have to be shipped to a FFL, and will not be shipped until funds have cleared. Weapon is for sale locally but I'm giving Saiga12 members first shot at it before it goes on GB. There are a couple small marks on the receiver from the sidefolder and I received it with a slight scrape on the sidefolder latch - I can Email you detailed Pics if you would like.

  3. I would say that most of the people I speak to outside the "AK" crowd seem to regognize Krebs more versus Tromix. Though its true Tromix is unmatched

    for Saiga 12 conversions. I have been collecting AK's for about seven years and really don't remember hearing much about Tromix and AK type weapons

    until their Saiga 12 conversions - though I did know of them for Valmet magazine conversions. Really was more AKusa and Krebs for quality conversions.

    I have builds by both and they have their positives and negatives - different objectives on their builds.

     

    That being said you would probably have to ask Tony and see what his list of builders that do quality work would like? I'm curious

     

    Just my .02

  4. I was not having any luck finding the correct handguard to mount a grip and light for informal shoots around here so I took

    one of Tromix' new handguards and modded it for a rail on the left side (sorry southpaws) by machining the ribs off, and milling the

    inner section for rail inserts...end result works pretty good. I need to get a tighter lockup as the handguard is a bit wobbly, not that it really

    matters with only a light but I'm sure I'll spend way too much time on it. Sorry for taking so long to Post this as I know I had earlier

    request work work work :ded:

    Finished with Krebs offset,VLTOR,and Tango Shorty - sometimes the Std grip works better though.

  5. Anyone know if Izhmash weapons company is public?

     

    If any of our Euro members know who is being awarded big ammunition contracts over there ...that would be good information as well.

     

    Yeah I know this might be the wrong place to post but everyone goes here first.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    That's no excuse for posting in the wrong section. Please don't do that again.

  6. I personally never got on with CETME/G3/HK91's for various Ergo problems. Fal's have a better layout (in my opinion) and are probably one of the best looking battle rifles you will ever own - very solid and old school.

     

    But...... If you are trying to keep cost down and are not looking at originals you will have to do some research on built up Fal's, who built it, and on what receiver is everything!
