evlblkwpnz 3,418 Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 It is an easy way to get into an AK based AOW though. Get an approved Form 1 and let the surgery begin... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
saltydecimator 482 Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 (edited) but why would you wanna aow if its presently OTC? i emailed K-usa and they said their receiver is the "gun" i think the s-12 is the front trunnion, what about the vepr?

It can be made a lot shorter and lighter by doing a 6.5" or 8" AOW with the gas system relocated. It will also run much better on a wide range of loads. It is indeed cool, but some people want more than what it offers as-is in the envelope of 'other'. Wherever the serial number is the 'gun' is. Vepr-12 serial number is on the trunnion.

saltydecimator 482 Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 interesting... the aow route never aligned with my state/localities masters so i never pursued it... i asked the question over in the sbs section, but couldnt a longer carrier piston be used, bore a hole through the puck, and let the carrier piston extend through the front of the gas block, like an AA-12? wouldnt need to weld the tab on. and maybe could reuse your pistons etc, instead of fabbing a new one? seem like it would be a bit more work, but i dont weld...(barrel hood, for when carrier comes out of gas tube/guide Quote Link to post Share on other sites
evlblkwpnz 3,418 Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 My 6.5" carrier comes well out of the gas tube. I'm sure you've seen it run by now. I have a means of addressing it. Where is this tab you are talking about? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kindapointless 22 Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 Just put 150 slugs through mine today, nothing broke but the gas adjuster is going in the garbage. Not as bad as I thought it would be with the brace. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
saltydecimator 482 Posted March 21, 2019 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 dont trash it send it to me! looks good how it run? i wont buy one but i love the idea of it! i gotta look up your 6.5", that part eluded me... normally folks weld a tab to rear of gas tube, under dust cover lip, that catches carrier... supposedly Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MikeD 541 Posted March 21, 2019 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 The tab is typically welded to the front underside of the dust cover. The carrier bounces up as the rod stub leaves the tube. The tab reduces the amount of pry and resistance the bounce can cause against the rails and also keeps the stub down low enough that it doesn’t crash into the the upper edge of the tube on it’s return. Ill have to get me one of those Spetz and check out what they are doing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't do it so quick and dirty. Mine isn't that simple or a welded shim and takes a lot longer to do, but works extremely well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kindapointless 22 Posted March 21, 2019 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 Anyone else with a spets having problems with screwing a muzzle device on? Ordered a 10 slot choke adaptor and jam nut and neither go on more then a thread. The gas adjustor it came with has no spot for a tool and the knurling is garbage Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MikeD 541 Posted March 21, 2019 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 Do you know if the gas plug is the stock Lynx plug? Can you post a picture of it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kindapointless 22 Posted March 21, 2019 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 After slot of effort and twice in the ultrasonic I finally got it off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kindapointless 22 Posted March 21, 2019 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 Kinda looks like my gas block threads may be a bit jacked, anyone know the size? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
evlblkwpnz 3,418 Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 There is a cause to everything. From here, it looks like the pin was drilled at an angle instead of horizontally. Where this pin is visible on the outside of the gas block does it look like the hole is much higher on the left side of the gun than the right side. If it is in there at an angle and the cause of the thread issues a tap should cut threads in the pin just fine, but if the pin is ever removed it is going to have to go back in exactly like it came out or you will need to run a tap through it again. I have a pretty busy day today, but if I can remember I'll check a Saiga-12 gas regulator and see what the threading is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kindapointless 22 Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 It looks like it is at an angle. Kind of a redneck test but putting in the plug a couple a couple times when clean it looks like the lead thread on the gas plug gets folded over a tiny bit so I'm guessing its hitting the pin as it goes all the way in. New gas plug and a bit of thread chasing should fix it. After 300 slugs on position 1 (150 each range visit) gun is running ok but won't feed more then 5 rounds out of a magazine and dosent like the drums at all. Position 2 felt over gassed with same slugs. Guessing to much drag with mag tension. Dont want to smooth anything out till I figure out the muzzle threads since AWS is very clear that warranty is void if you do just about anything to it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
evlblkwpnz 3,418 Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 Assuming it is the same, threads are 21x1.0 RH. It may be a pain in the arsenhoffler to find that tap for a fair price. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kindapointless 22 Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 Wow not only did you find it you found it cheap. Barrel should be m22x.75 correct? Might as well grab the tap and die for that too from the same place. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
evlblkwpnz 3,418 Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 That's it. I think I'm about to order that tap too. Even Saiga-12 gas blocks are a bit goofy. This could save me some time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The number 2 setting is way too much gas for some high brass rounds. The number 1 setting is not enough for most. It is a poorly thought out gas plug. Better than the original Saiga-12 gas plug though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sure2survive 2 Posted March 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2019 Couple tips grease the gas plus and dremel a grove like the Saiga 12 for easier removal also use a high temp grease on the threads only! Also I had to trim all my mag springs by 3" as the mags are over sprung. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kindapointless 22 Posted March 25, 2019 Report Share Posted March 25, 2019 I always use high temp antisieze, grabbed a dph for the moment. Will probably go auto plug at some point once I get the rest of the gun worked over Quote Link to post Share on other sites
G O B 3,516 Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 I have had to use a dental pic on the S-12 threads. The blind plug takes a beating every time you shoot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kindapointless 22 Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 I have a dph plug in it right now, ran 100 rounds though it today and I could get it out, the knurling on the dph is almost 3 times as high as the I'm guessing lynx plug. It's the pin not straight in the gas block that hangs it up. During my full teardown today I also noticed my gas block is off of a different gun. Evey other part is stamped 935 then the gas block is stamped 944 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
