TonyRumore 1,332 Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 http://www.hunt101.com/showphoto.php?photo=237378 Here is a pic of the prototype shorty saiga. It is not yet refinished, but you get the picture. I have the other 10ea guns all together and ready to fire, but have not installed all the optional parts on them yet, since I will wait and see what each customer wants as far as options go. They will all be parkarized and then finished with a coat of Norrell Moly Resin. Introductory pricing on the base model will run $695 and will come with an ACE folding stock, SAW M249 pistol grip, U.S. fire control parts, Tromix cold weather trigger guard, one 5 round magazine and of course all the Tromix shorty gas system components. Following are the options you can add. Picatinney Rail on forend $85 Vertical foregrip $40 HK G3 sights $150 Flash Hider $49 Tactical Light $100 With all the options, the gun runs $1,119 loaded with one 5 round magazine. If you supply your own gun for the conversion, subtract $229 off the total price. Shipping will run about 16 bucks. The only change that I have planned is to run the picatinney rail from the vertical grip out to the end of the forearm rather than back toward the magazine as shown on the prototype. That way you can still grasp the standard handguard and also mount a laser foward of the vertical grip. The form 2's should be back from the ATF in about 2 weeks. I will accept orders now on a first come first served basis. Tony Rumore Tromix Corp www.tromix.com E-Mail TonyR@Tromix.com Phone 918 251-5640 Link to post Share on other sites

BattleRifleG3 16 Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Graduation and hopefully employment couldn't come too soon! Hey, how much would you tweak the price if the ACE stock were dropped, say replaced by a user provided one? I can respect ACE but they're usually not my cup of tea. Link to post Share on other sites
TonyRumore 1,332 Posted January 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 $100 off if I use your stock and it bolts up to my Trunion. I am only tooled up to make the back receiver plate with 10-32tpi inserts on 5/8" centers for the ACE stock, so if you want me to manufacture some other type of attachment trunion, it would cost more.

Prophet 1 Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 What is the Length Of Pull on the ACE stock? Have you found the flash hider to be actually effective in reducing flash? -P. Link to post Share on other sites
TonyRumore 1,332 Posted January 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 The length of pull is either 13" or 14" depending on which ACE stock you bolt on it, I have both. They also sell a super shorty and I think that drops it to about 11.5" or so........ perfect for a small petite miget wearing a snow suit. Personally, I like the long 14" pull. 13" is about standard on american guns of this type. I have tried the flash hider during the day and there is no flash present, but that doesn't mean much. I need to fire the gun in the shop with the lights out to really see how it does. I am sure it will help quite a bit, but to kill the flash entirely on a 12" 12 gauge would be asking a lot.

ForGreatJustice 1 Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 Hey can Tromix ship the 12" Saiga with a permenant long flash hider to non NFA specifications (so that I can file my Form 1 later and hack it off myself?) Mostly, I'd like to get the puppy in hand first and worry about the NFA after I make a move to another state. Link to post Share on other sites
JBONE 0 Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 (edited) I agree, I would have interest in that configuration to. Any chance Tony? JBONE Oh never mind I see you have already filed the form 2's. It would still be cool to have one with the gas system moved back already but a long hider perm installed so I could SBS at my liesure.

TonyRumore 1,332 Posted January 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 Yes, I could do a shorty and just put a permanant 11" long flash hider on it. I have two more Saiga's here that I did not put on paper as SBS' yet. I plan to make both of them into 15.5" guns with 2.5" permanent flash hiders. The gas systems will be identical to the 12" guns, but the single gas port will be a bit smaller. The pricing would be the same either way. 8 of the 10 twelve inch guns have already been sold.

chris410 0 Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 Hey Tony, can I order just the flash hider? Is it weld on? Can I get one with a set screw? Link to post Share on other sites
TonyRumore 1,332 Posted January 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 I can sell you just the flash hider with a set screw if you like, but I am not sure if that would hold it on unless you at least drill a dimple in the barrel. It would probably be better to just use red lock tite and don't plan to remove it. The hiders are $49. I will do them all up in a batch when the other 10ea are done. By the way, all 10ea of the shorty shotguns have been sold. Link to post Share on other sites
chris410 0 Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 Great should I just send a money order? Link to post Share on other sites
TonyRumore 1,332 Posted January 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 No need to screw with a Money Order, just send me a personal check. I will toss your hider in with the batch when I run the other 10ea. Tony Rumore Tromix Corp 405 N. Walnut Ave #8 Broken Arrow, OK 74012 Link to post Share on other sites
krom32117 0 Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 Tony your conversions are the sweetest I've seen yet. Are you planning to convert another batch. I'm waiting on a call Monday from a guy that had about 20 LEO before the ban expired. I was told he wasn't moving them so he possibly destroyed them. If he doesn't have at least one left I'll be giving you a call. Also would it be easier to buy from cdnn and ship to you for conversion or let you purchase, convert, and sell to me, thanks.

TonyRumore 1,332 Posted January 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 It would be best for you to supply the gun for the conversion. You could have it dropped shipped directly to me if you like. Unfortunately, I don't have unlimited cash resources, so buying 20ea of these is a pretty big hit. I am planning on running another batch of 10ea, with 15.5" barrels and 2.5" permanent flash hiders. Link to post Share on other sites
krom32117 0 Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 Sounds good, if possible I would like to have you do me 2 of them, one with a 12'5" and one with a 15'5". I'll know by tomorrow which way I'm gonna go. Krom Link to post Share on other sites

citizensoldier 0 Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 Today I had the pleasure of handling one of Tony Rumore's Saiga conversions as he came through the door at the Tulsa RK Gunshow. The fit, finish and general attention to detail was excellent and as budget permits, I am thinking quite seriously about sending him my Saiga-20 for similar, but non-nfa treatment.
