Crackbone 0 Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Hello, everyone. I recently exchanged a couple of shotguns for a Saiga-12. I'm very pleased with the shotgun, but I'm also about to convert it. What I'd like to include on it in addition to the usual is a bayonet-lug to fix a bayonet. Does anyone have any suggestions for the type of bayonet? I'm aware that the lug will have to be welded to the barrel. Does anyone who has experience with this know what problems to expect? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
frick 3 Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 I have also given this some thought, and the welds on the barrel just doesn't seem practical for a number of reasons, mainly. I don't know if the barrel thickness could support a constant beating without deformation or cracking. I clamp on system, much like an oversized scope ring was my thought, using an AR-15 type stud, as its a fairly common mount in use in this country. Of course, the bayonet would need to have the barrel socket cut off, and a larger one attached, unless you made the mount an all in one unit, including a stud for the bayonet, under the barrel. The advantage in that, is that you could also use it to mount a laser or light, using a standard AR 15 bayonet lug to rail adapter. Yeah, it could be made, but, how many people really want one?

Cobra 76 two 2,677 Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Wasn't there an identical thread to this just posted last week? I know I posted in it saying I would get some pics up soon and then got too busy after taking them. I'll find a few and put them up....meanwhile, what happened to the other thread?
