GuerillaMind 0 Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Im semi new to guns, with a little shooting and such under my belt. I am by the forum standards a major Noob, and semi gun retarded. I want to learn from knowledgeable persons, and especially the Saiga line of weapons. So, before I ask any questions...is there anything I should just shut up and be told before I start, besides "run away little one"!! I need a teacher, or teachers...I saw the Saiga and what it can do, and Im in love with it... I want in on the fun!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KrisFox 69 Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 (edited) The search function is your best friend. Top right corner. I'm sure someone will be along soon with the handy little animation of how to use it. You could start by hitting the search and typing noob.

Reverendfranz 160 Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 (edited) Im sure you have read the forum rules, and know that in general its bad form to ask about anything illegal, but other than that, i think your disclaimer here is more than enough to show that you are interested in learning, and not in wasting anyones time. The saiga has a hunting style buttstock for importation purposes into the US, and has its trigger group moved to the rear, but otherwise works just like any other AK. http://www.buzzhumor.com/videos/15087/How_An_AK_47_Works http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/AK-47_Operator's_Manual the shotguns are only slightly different. Most people here in the US "convert" them to a pistol grip and move the trigger forward. This is easy to do, with the information here, but in order to do this, several of the original parts are replaced with US made parts so as to comply with a federal law we refer to as 922r, there is lots of information on this subject here (and even its own section) but what it boils down to is that in order for the gun to have a pistol grip or have a full capacity AK mag in it, it has to have less than 10 foreign counted parts. the parts on a saiga that are counted are the Receiver, Barrel, (front trunion) Muzzle attachment (only on threaded barrels), Bolt, Bolt carrier, Gas piston, Trigger, Hammer, Disconnector, Buttstock, Pistol grip, Handguard, Magazine body, Follower, Floorplate. We are a pretty friendly bunch, so ask away and im sure someone will be happy to help Edited June 26, 2009 by ReverendFranz Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Azrial 1,091 Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 My suggestion would be to go on over the Let's see your Saiga 12 thread, take a look at what others have done then set about learning what you will need to build your Saiga12! Let us know if we can help and welcome to the board! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
