Picture Post, Lets see your Saiga 12!


Recommended Posts

My S12... pretty much done tricking it out at this point. Still trying to decide on muzzle accessories. Have a KA brake on order from Tac47 and am also looking at the Chaos Warthog for poking purposes. Beyond that and a sling, I think I'm done... for now.

Modifications:

  • 18" barrel
  • Krebbs Combat Sights
  • Gunfixer Choke
  • KA Gas Puck
  • STG Tactical Tri-Rail
  • Command Arms Vertical Grip/Light Holder
  • Strobe Weaponlight, generic brand
  • Green laser (other side of pic)
  • 2x 10 round Surefire magazines, 2x OEM 5 round mags, and MD Arms 20 drum
  • BHO
  • Kobra Red Dot
  • Saiga adjustable skeleton stock

 

I'm interested in doing a desert tan paint job leaving black accents and picatinny rail guards, but I'm thinking I should start spending my money on a shotgun class by Suarez or someone like that and start saving up for a Saiga .308.

In its final form:  

My daughter does modeling and she did a shoot this week with firearms. I let her borrow my Saiga.

I've upgraded my Saiga a little.

 

Here's how it was a few months ago with a Tapco stock and Galil forend:

Here's how it is now. It has a Tromix stock w/ Limbsaver, side folding mechanism on a CSS receiver block, Gunfixer plug, reduced recoil spring, reduced mainspring, Tromix DIY trigger guard, SAW grip, vertical grip on stock forend (for now), Chaos puck, bead blasted carrier w/ polished & streamlined bolt for easier mag insertion and a prototype FSB:

:super: Here is a little of my Gun Porn. One is my Saiga .308 and the other is my S12. I converted both of them myself and can

do one in about a day now. All thanks to Dinzag, Cobra, and many of the vendors from this site. The Saiga's are quickly becoming

one of my favorite platforms. Dinzag did a great job getting me what I needed and Cobra helped my fine tune the 12 in his shop.

It was a 3 port gun with a very slight obstruction of 2 of the gas ports. The gun was slightly undergassed and had trouble with

some low brass. We removed the gas block and opened up the ports a little as well as the block itself. Both are completely

polished internally, i.e. feed ramps bolts, carriers, rails, etc.... and are 100% reliable so far since worked on. A couple or three

hundred rounds or so through each. The 12 is wicked and will eat whatever now. I can load full surefire mags with the bolt

closed with no problem now. The .308 is wicked accurate with match grade ammo. The 12 is too with slugs. I haven't done

100 yards with slugs yet but with 2 3/4 slugs at 75 yards it is bad ass. I am considering making the .308 my MBR as it can

get good groups at true .308 ranges with that Millett scope on it and I can pop a 4X scope on it or a reticle as all my ak platforms

use the same mounting system and put real firepower at closer ranges. I am glad I got the 21" barrel on the .308 ant the 19"

on the shotty. Other than maybe a different stock on one or both, I am done with them. Unless of course I go off on a tangent

like Cobra. That is one sick Shotty he posted the other day. One footnote, I had both built before I posted for the first time, a

testament to the amount of info available on this site. Gun porn rocks.
