deavis 0 Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 I finally got a Saiga and got her done. She is my mail order Russian bride. HG retainer is Dinzag. Tapco cut down galil hg, Tapco SAW grip and FCG. Swift lever safety, KVAR buttstock, gun has HK sights welded on (cheapest HK sights I found was from RTG parts), Sling is the MASH style made by me - (LMK if you want one I have many ) gun was duracoated by TRIDENT INDUSTRIES in Corvallis, Oregon and 762llc of Albany Oregon helped out a bit too. You cant go wrong with those guys. They are awesome to deal with. I am not a fan of the Tapco hg - perhaps a rail in my future for this gun. I would like to do something different with the stock also - It doesnt give a lot of purchase area at the shoulder. Nice thing about this S12 is it eats EVERYTHING 2.75 or 3" and all on the #1 setting from slugs to aa trap loads.... bang bang every time through the surfire and AGP mags. That makes me very, VERY happy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sunnybean 939 Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 Dude, sweet! Very well done. I like the dark grey. I wanna' do one in a lighter grey and black, but seeing your's I'm rethinking. Have you thought about a slip on pad for more surface area? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TR Young 175 Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 Simple, clean, nice! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
saigafan12345 21 Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 very nice, you kept it simple which is most important. some of these guns completely covered in rails and accessories just look dumb. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

elvis christ 451 Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 (edited) Hey man, can you post some close up pics of the front and rear sights? What all parts did you need for the sights? I was looking on the rtg site, and saw that the rear sight needs the base to weld on to AK's, but I'm a bit unsure about the front site. I would imagine that all I need is the front site itself, not the complete assembly. Is this correct? Edited April 11, 2009 by elvis christ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Then you cut the top off of the snowman and weld it in place. You need a complete rear sight assy. Get the in the white bases, unless you feel like milling off the old G3 receiver stub from the used ones. For me it was worth the extra 8 bucks for in the white. I will try to get some pix up later.

Nailbomb 10,221 Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 Nice, i'm digging the color. The HK sights look great on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
elvis christ 451 Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 Yeah, I think I might have to get some of those sights. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WardenWolf 6 Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 What are you looking for in a stock? There's RPK-style stocks, as well as the Romanian Dragunov-style stocks. The latter includes a recoil plate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GerryV 14 Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 If you don't mind me asking, where did you get your K-Var buttstock from? Every place I check seems to be sold out. Thanks. Gerry Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gerry The stock came from AKfiles or theakforum... off the classifieds. However - I did see that Brownells is now carrying Kvar - check them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gkcf 8 Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 Looks like a weld on plate from Saigatech(sp?). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bigdaddy67 0 Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 (edited) Very cool. What front sling swivel did you use. My S12 is being converted now with almost the exact same setup but I need a front sling attachment. --Dave Edited June 16, 2009 by bigdaddy67 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
