barrett82 0 Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 Hi everyone, with several competant builders around I was wondering, If you were having a new Saiga 12 built , what options would you have them to incorparate? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gunfixr 76 Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 Myself, I would want the short throw/reset trigger for one. After that, the extra tab on the safety so it can be manipulated from the pistol grip, a Polychoke or fitted with tubes (Polychoke preferred), and a Galil style cocking handle, unless you're gonna use the side rail for optic mounting. Personally, I would put optics, if wanted, forward over the gas tube. I have an extended mag release, but most of the time forget to use it. Of course, it's a given the gun is converted to pistol grip configuration. Just MHO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
topmaul 42 Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 Optics, your in the open division you might as well have an optic mount either a Cobra Rail or you can get off cheap like I did with a barrel mount, which allows the use of iron sights. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SinistralRifleman 0 Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 optic and a choke are the only things I think someone really needs to use a Saiga competitively Quote Link to post Share on other sites

topmaul 42 Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 I just ordered a C-More Systems 2MOA dot hope to put it on my Saiga barrel mount Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ajackb 0 Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Ditto on the polychoke and optic. I tried a ATN (C-More look alike) over the gas tube but found it to be too high and instead reconfigured with a Aimpoint wanna be. The Saiga runs in Open division in my area because of the mag so the optic is free. I haven't found the need for the short reset trigger since you're rarely taking more than one shot at a target anyway and the time it takes to reset the trigger is much less then getting on the next target..........IMHO.

BobAsh 582 Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 Good trigger, RemChokes, short gas system to cyle ultra-light loads, muzzle brake, and heads-up style optic. Most guys also want the folder, for those tight stages like busses and outhouses. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
