adavid02 0 Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 I told you all about this lovely purchase a few days ago and I picked it up yesterday for $650. The bonus was the Russian 2 round mag that I didnt know I was getting. Its an older S12 with no BHO. It has a polychoke though I cant figure how to get it off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hobbyist 0 Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 IM sent for the Polychoke if selling. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hobbyshooter 59 Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 The polychoke comes off by heating it up and using a spanner wrench that fits into that hole. They commonly come loose in use so I imagine it's threaded on with some lock-tite. If you call polychoke they'll probably send you a wrench but be warned it's not a hardened tool so if you don't heat up the polychoke you may just wrap the wrench around it...

SaigaNoobie 66 Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Looks like The polychoke is pinned on. BTW, for $650 you got: Shotgun: $400 2x 8rd OEM Mags: $200 1x 2rd Mag: $50 Not a bad deal for you... in fact, fan-fucking tastic. I'll give you $35 for the 2rd mag. . . . . Seriously.

NSR500 2 Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Polychoke is probably pinned and welded. I had heard that an early batch of Saiga-12 did not meet barrel length requirements. In order to comply the polychokes were pinned and welded on. Good Luck getting it off as long as the barrel is the proper length. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aessu 1 Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Yeah, saigas are sold with 43cm (about 17") barrels almost everywhere except UK and USA. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
49gmc 3 Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 I doubt it's welded. I though he said it's a 24 incher.....sure looks long in the pics. Loctight is my guess. I little heat, wd-40 and the spanner wrench should do it. Not too hot though.... 49gmc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
