Raoul_Duke 113 Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 7" barrel, SRTrigger. I think you can see the rest . . . It's the first (marked NO. 1), and as of yet, only Tromix Micro 7.62! Next to my S17 for size comparison. It shoots great! The Shark Brake is borderline insane on a barrel this short. You get a hot blast of air in your face and people standing 6 feet behind/beside me said they could easily feel the gas coming back that far! In the shade at high noon I could see a fireball the size of a basketball! With the Shark Brake the recoil is so low, I though it failed to cycle the first shot I took. It pretty much just shakes when fired. Very, very little recoil. And while it is fun, it's not very practical as it would dry out your eyes and blind you with the flash if you tried to use it for defense. So on that note, does anybody (I know someone's got to . . .) have experience with flash suppressors on a barrel this short? The two that come to my mind are the Smith Enterprise Vortex and the King Armory 1230. Suppressing as much of the flash as possible is paramount, as the recoil is obviously low anyway. Any suggestions? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PRISONSHANK 70 Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 that is one sick fukn toaster Raoul!!! i was on the tromix website the other day an noticed there rifle section isn't there kinda worries me cuz i was put on this planet to one day get me a .308 saiga sbr from Tony grats again on the fresh shooter!!

Reverendfranz 160 Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Do you have a picture of the rear sight block? Im just curious if Tony closed it up, or what. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
saigafan12345 21 Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 awesome gun! i'd like to see it with a regular AK grip and one of those wire stocks. what kind of finish is that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
elvis christ 451 Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 That is fucking awesome! Great companion to the SBS. What about one of those muzzle breaks off of a AMD? That might work for your application, but I don't know very much about them. The AMD barrel is pretty short, and those are supposed to be smooth shooters. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nailbomb 10,221 Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 awesome gun! i'd like to see it with a regular AK grip and one of those wire stocks. what kind of finish is that? I believe the tromix crew has said in multiple threads that they prefer baked on moly resin for thier conversions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Raoul_Duke 113 Posted June 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Thanks guys! that is one sick fukn toaster Raoul!!! i was on the tromix website the other day an noticed there rifle section isn't there kinda worries me cuz i was put on this planet to one day get me a .308 saiga sbr from Tony grats again on the fresh shooter!! I'm guessing he took them down because he probably does a shit-ton more shotguns than rifles, but I dunno. When I saw the Micro .308, I immediately wanted an x39. I've got nothing against the .308, but this made more sense for me for several personal reasons. One of which is I already have plenty of AK mags. Oh that one was for you? Cool little gun, I want one now. Yes sir! I love it! It came out just how I saw it in my head! I was floored when Tony told me he had not done one of these yet!!! Do you have a picture of the rear sight block? Im just curious if Tony closed it up, or what. I can get that for you later tonight. But yes, it's closed up. awesome gun! i'd like to see it with a regular AK grip and one of those wire stocks. what kind of finish is that? I personally hate standard AK grips. Not the look, but the feel. And yeah, a wire stock might not look bad, but I wanted this done Tromix-style! And that's Tony's standard Norrell Moly Resin finish. That is fucking awesome! Great companion to the SBS. What about one of those muzzle breaks off of a AMD? That might work for your application, but I don't know very much about them. The AMD barrel is pretty short, and those are supposed to be smooth shooters. I want a flash suppressor, not a brake. Thanks, though. The Shark Brake kicks all ass, but I need to suppress that fireball for night shooting . . . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I thought about leaving it open and putting a Scout Scope on it, but I didn't think that would look too good, so I told him to fill it up . . . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shades_of_grey 1,092 Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 That's one sick little rifle! I'm continually impressed at what Tromix can do.. if only I'd gotten into Saigas a few years ago I'd have had them convert restore both my S-12 and a dimpled 7.62. I think I would have gone with the standard 16" barrel length on the rifle though.. cause while your micro is really cool, it's not nearly as practical/effective as a rifle with a barrel long enough to allow the bullet to reach reasonable velocity and not blow shit back into your face/make a huge fireball of gas outside the barrel, (where it does no good). Still, that's a very distinctive piece of Tromix craftsmanship you have there! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Still, that's a very distinctive piece of Tromix craftsmanship you have there! Thanks post-apocalyptic, but this gun is perfectly practical/effective in that it does exactly what it's supposed to do, be small, compact, maneuverable and full of firepower. I've got multiple 7.62's with 16" barrels and even an RPK, not braggin', just sayin', I gots bigger gunz . . . And this gun is lighter and way more maneuverable. The point of this gun was to be good for CQC and 100% KICK-ASS . . . A specific tool for a specific job. That's also why I have multiple S-12's, an 8", 12", and some 19"s, again, not braggin', just sayin'. And, like I said in my OP, the fireball is fun, but not practical, that's why I'm looking at flash suppressors. And thanks again man, I'm glad you kinda like it!

TonyRumore 1,332 Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 It took me four days to make that gun. I could have made a dozen Saiga-12's in that amount of time. That is why the entire Tromix lineup of rifles was discontinued after that gun. The rifles were only about 1% of my business anyway, and I am not tooled up to make the rifles with any kind of speed. It's a complete hand job............ Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well, considering that you have what sounds like a pretty large collection of Russian lead throwers, the choice to commission the micro 7.62 makes more sense.

It's a complete hand job............ Tony Like I said in my email, "this thing is fucking beautiful . . . Just what I had in mind! Thank you very much!" I'm glad I talked to you about this when I did! I looked at several styles of AK variant SBR's, and when I saw your .308, I knew I had found what I was looking for . . . Of course now it appears that I may be the "straw that broke the camel's back," I've potentially got PRISONSHANK and a handful of others set out to hunt me down now! But seriously, thank you again, Tony! I appreciate all the time, effort and work you put into it! That's gorgeous! No surprise it came from Tromix. <------jealous. Thanks! And hell yeah it's no surprise, all of my Tromix firearms are a work of art in their own right! That's one sick little rifle!

I'm not one of those who generally likes to "flash my toys," but I thought I HAD to share this with you guys (and girls). It was, I figured, the first of it's kind. But now, after what Tony stated above, it appears it's the only one of it's kind!!! So yeah, that definitely adds a whole other dimension of cool to it! It took me four days to make that gun.

Gunfixr 76 Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 That's a beautiful job, very impressive. Typical of Tonys work. I did a similar job for a customer, but his wasn't an SBR, he wanted the flash hider to end at 16". It has HK sights and I closed up the original rear sight base. Unfortunately, he showed up the same day I finished it, early, and it was gone before I got pics taken. I need to get a camera dedicated for the shop. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I need to get a camera dedicated for the shop. Thanks Gunfixr! And hell yeah it's typical of Tonys work . . . But you, IMO, that I've seen (pictures), do good work too. I've got a few of your gas plugs and can't wait to see what you've got up your sleeve for your (I swear I recall you saying you were working on these) self-regulating gas plugs. So hell yeah you need to get a dedicated shop camera . . . I forgot to thank you for posting the pics of the RSB, looks fantastic, i figured he would fill it in, but thats even cleaner than i thought it would be, leave it to tony to continue to impress in everything he does. No problem Rev. But like I said, he gave me the choice and I chose filled in . . . And it looks better than what I "saw in my head" when he asked me about it . . . Tony is quite the craftsman . . . I bet it is a loud little bastard. What?!?! Huh?!?! Oh yeah . . . It's LOUD. When I pull the trigger on this, the (gun) range stands still for a second (at least) . . . And not I'm not trying to be all up on your jock, but I must say, seeing your Wood S17 (researching shotgun information years ago) is what brought my attention to Saigas and Tromix. Thank you Sir.
