jmp 0 Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 Hi pals, I'm French. 20 years of socialism led to ban almost any firearms in the country. The - what we call- "caviar left wing" preferred to have unarmed citizens to neutralize any attempt to stop corruption and bribes !!. Here in France we can buy Saiga 12 with "neutralized" semi auto capacity which means no machined gas system (no piston not drilled gas port, etc). I have got a lathe and a milling machine to help me overcome the castration we suffered from this bastards of commun.. sorry socialists. So my logical questions is : could anybody provide me with exact measures of the gas system (ideally, a drawing with dimensions : diameter of gas port, design of gas chamber, dimensions of piston). I was unable to locate any blueprint of the system, hence my questions. Thanking you in advance (you lucky guys who have legal access to semi auto ...)

ASSASSIN 1 Posted January 25, 2004 Report Share Posted January 25, 2004 Bonjour I live across the water in England and we have tough gun laws but we are allowed to have a fully working semi aotomatic shotgun , we have to have either bolt action rifles or neutralised semi auto rifles if they are a bigger calliber than .22 rimfire. as far as i can see the gas piston on the saiga 12 is the same dimensions as the standard ak gas piston but it does use a tappet unlike the original ak design so you may find that this tappet is also missing from your gun assassin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ASSASSIN 1 Posted January 25, 2004 Report Share Posted January 25, 2004 Hi me again i have just stripped my saiga to give you some dimensions. after removing the gas plug there is a 7mm hole drilled in the gas tube to give access to the barrel , in the barrel there are 3 1.5mm holes drilled in a triangle (point towards rear of gun) and they are set with a dimension of 3mm between each hole (in a triangular shape) the holes are angled backwards. the gas tapped measures in at 20mm and the gas pistons head diameter is 14mm and the pistons length from the bolt carrier extension is 89mm. i hope that these dimensions are of help to you , but please be carefull as if your police find out you could be in very serious trouble. all the best assassin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
