Dave at Elite out of Texas... http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=95830457 P.S. what is the going rate for a stock Saiga 12 now days?

Franky 2 Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 I don't think that underfolder can take the pounding of a 12. IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Folkien 0 Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 The stock looks like one of the 103 or 159 three position stocks. They are good, and can probably stand up to some beating. I'd be worried about the bearings or the receiver. That, and I love seeing folders that can't unfold around their own magazine And yah, Elite has a reputation for leaving people in the dust customer-service wise. They're not thieves, and the product isn't necessarily bad, it's just misleadingly overpriced for what you get. And they stole my name (I was intending on starting a company called Elite Armaments, but now...) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Franky 2 Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 That's what I meant. Trunnion and mechanical parts will get fucked after a short while. I wouldn't get it. Maybe, if I were on a deserted island and that were the only S12 available at the time. + It's over priced. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
moxie1c 3 Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Way over-priced...but, some men have a desire to own a "ONLY ONE I KNOW OF" shotgun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
headshot 52 Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 He is not "at it again", he never stopped. He has run auctions on GB for years. Honestly, I saw one of his conversions once. It was nice, but I am capable of good work myself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akapone 0 Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 I just bid on it, seems like a fair price. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scoutjoe 276 Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Looks like my bulgy underfolder from KVar. Personally I wouldn't trust that on a 12 gauge, it gets loose enough from a x39 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VTX-1800 1 Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 (edited) Well actually, that is a picture of mine. He built me an s12 and .308. The stocks are very tight. I am very pleased with his work. It was hard to fire from the shoulder until Cobra gave me a heads up on the butt pads. Now, it's pretty reasonable. I plan on shooting it with the stock folded most of the time. Once I get my three drums from Mike, I can get rid of the door stop. Then I can put 20 rds down range and have a couple of extra seconds to unfold the stock and load a new mag, if need be. If you contact him direct, it will be cheaper.

GTwannabe 1 Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 As long as he did a quality conversion, he can price it as high as he thinks he can get. Supply and demand... there's hardly any supply and a ton of demand, which results in high prices. Just be glad that RAA and CDNN aren't price gouging unconverted Saigas. You can be cautious and spend months looking for a sub-$500 Saiga-12, then more months of waiting for a Tromix conversion. Or, you can pay a ton of cash now and get your toy quickly.

VTX-1800 1 Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 is that the 4 piece Bulgarian flash hider i see on your .308? Yes it is $84.99 at http://copesdist.com/ak47.htm Sorry guido2 thats my hard earned cash. I have no affiliation with him except being a happy customer. He is kinda high strung in a way. It reminds me of the first time I remember visiting family on my mothers side in Illinois, everyone was cussing and screaming at one another I thought they all hated each other, but when we sat down for dinner and then a movie, it was totally different, they all loved each other. SO that is the way they are. When I picked up my conversions he was very busy, we shot the shit while we got squared away, but before you know it he's telling me to get the ''F''out kind of like Apu on the Simpsons (GET OUT! AND PLEASE COME AGAIN) and away I went with the biggest shit eatin grin on my face. http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Towers/6704/getout.wav Quote Link to post Share on other sites
