Emery 0 Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Hi I am new here and looking for a reliable company to do a Saiga 12 Conversion. Can any of you recommend some reliable companies. I have ran across some that don't specify you are getting for the price of the conversion. Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
btr 15 Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 I had a long wait for my Red Jacket (back during the panic), but I like it a lot. Good warranty also. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nalioth 405 Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Unless you're looking for something "unique", you can do your own conversion easily. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kresk 10,063 Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 If you're squeamish about doing it yourself, check some of the forum's sponsors who do conversions. Welcome to the forum! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
xxxpez 5 Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 First off welcome to the forum. I don't know if you are at all interested in doing your own conversion, but if you are there is a wealth of knowledge here both in the members and the material. If you don't want to try it there are plenty of buisness members here that can do what you want them to. Just check the material here and there are a few video's on you tube. Check that before you make up your mind because if you are just hitting the basics it really isn't that hard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shades_of_grey 1,092 Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 (edited) Hi I am new here and looking for a reliable company to do a Saiga 12 Conversion. Can any of you recommend some reliable companies. I have ran across some that don't specify you are getting for the price of the conversion. Thanks! I highly recommend Lone Star Arms. Mike is a true professional, and a pleasure to do business with. He absolutely loves his work, and it shows in every gun he works on. Some of the work Mike does to make the S-12 reliable with all shells is truly unique. Here's what you get for the price. That's a good general description, but you really should contact Mike for specifics: Michael Rogers Lone Star Arms Saiga 12 Performance 2501 Baylor SE Albuquerque, NM 87106 505-263-8822 lonestararms@yahoo.com Tell him Will sent ya. You should also check out the other threads in his biz section for testimonials, demo videos, project descriptions etc. Here's a short vid demonstrating my S-12's performance after Mike worked his magic on her: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ciQU37GG6-Q That's el cheapo birdshot on (customized) factory gas plug setting 1. After LSA works on your S-12's gas system, 1 setting is all you need, for all shells. Edited July 27, 2010 by post-apocalyptic 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
redsoldier 7 Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 (edited) I absolutely LVOE my Red JAcket saiga-12. I have nearly 1K rounds through and haven't cleaned it ONCE. I Literally pulled it out of the box and started shooting it immediately, and I just keep shooting it every day. I haven't had a single FTF or FTE yet - flawless! At first I just didn't clean it knowing I was going to shoot it again tomarrow, but now I'm sort of curious to see how far/long I can let it go - I will say it looks pretty hairy in there when I look under the dst cover, yet it's still running like a top! I couldn't recomend Red Jacket enough! I posted about my gun here; http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?showtopic=56329&st=0&gopid=534654& Hope that helps!

tonyhunt 15 Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 I think if Chaos and Tromix combined forces these guns would become so amazing to the point where they'd be illegal from too much badassery Quote Link to post Share on other sites

vampire847 9 Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 (edited) I say do yer first one yourself to learn the workings of the gun... P.S. one of these days i will get around to uploading the iraqveteran8888 video of the conversion. He walks you through the total conversion (screw build and reusing the trigger guard) explaining everything very detailed like and it is a great learning experience... its also on youtube look up Saiga 12 gunsmithing and find the one by iraqveteran8888 Edited August 16, 2010 by vampire Quote Link to post Share on other sites
