beefcakeb99 572 Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 OK, were these installed by you guys, or are they straight from Russia already installed? Do they require modifications to the magazines?(if not do any s12 mags work) What year are they? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KC913 324 Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Yeah, it would be nice if you guys included in the description that proprietary or modified magazines must be used for the LRBHO to function properly. Also, isn't the LRBHO going to be a standard feature on all future imports? Why the inflated price? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
grendelz 61 Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Just a question. Can it still be converted? That button looks like it will get in the way of moving the trigger forward. If it can be converted, I would like to order one. If not, I'll look for an older model. Forgoing the LRBHO and being able to convert is more desirable to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KC913 324 Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Yes it can be converted. The only thing the LRBHO would possibly get in the way of is the Tromix trigger guard. It comes a little far forward and may not have enough clearance. Other than that, you're good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tnek 49 Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Im interested but skeptical if its worth going away from a standard s12. What about aftermarket magwells? Is the bolt and trigger assy the same? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
beefcakeb99 572 Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Just got off the phone with the rep at Kvar, they will accept standard mags, but the lrbho will not work with them? The lrbho requires new mags with a different follower, and the back of the mag is 'shaved'. Apparently their webmaster is out for the day so it will be like Monday before we hear from them. They also said, although who knows if you could believe it or not, that they come off the boat like this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's just a matter of selling off all of the old inventory before we see them at every distributor. I don't know if Izhmash is charging more for the Saiga 12 now that it's added, or if K-Var just see's it as an opportunity to make a few extra bucks from an "added feature". Only time till tell.

Is the bolt and trigger assy the same? I don't see any reason the bolt or trigger assembly would be changed in any way. This is installed right behind the magwell. Shouldn't affect anything.

geepelton 105 Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Is the only difference in the mags the follower? Could you post some pics of the mag differences. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
grendelz 61 Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 No Thanks, i think I will pass on these. I still have plenty of drums and AGPs. If I want to take advantage of the LRBHO, I will have to change out the followers(if they are going to offer them). Its a nice feature but looking at it. I don't need it. I'm not missing it on my current s-12, and don't feel like I'm needing it. Also, are they going to offer magazines that work with this feature and the big question is How much. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Piss on this feature if you can't use the same mags and drums. I didn't spend years stocking up on mags and drums for this thing just to have to start all over on the same shotgun with a LRBHO part added to it. I like my shotty the way I have it now, and like you I dont wish for a LRBHO part every time I empty a mag, it is not important to me either. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

To me, the closed bolt loading mod is a better option and cost less to have done by a pro that the extra money that KVar is asking for this LRBHO Saiga 12. It works with all of your mags too.

HART1 92 Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 When will you sell mags for the IZ-109BHO? I only have one factory mag Quote Link to post Share on other sites
k-var Corp 61 Posted April 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 We don't have any to sell at this time. When will you sell mags for the IZ-109BHO? I only have one factory mag Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TonyRumore 1,332 Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 The description on the website does not state whether it's a mag for Auto BHO guns, or simply the old style mag for the non-Auto BHO guns. Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
