tover26 18 Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 (edited) 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.

corbin 621 Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 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: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stansplace 414 Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 (edited) 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.

sawx75 2 Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Nothing fancy here. Just a plain old, non converted with a skeletonized stock and a PK-AS-V. Since adding the red-dot it is quickly becoming my favorite gun. I know, the slip-on limbsaver is ghetto, but it works great Quote Link to post Share on other sites
