Rocky6869 8 Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 I am getting a saiga 12 sbs built for me. The guy moves trigger forward puts the tapco semi trigger pack in. He says it will run like a scolded dog. Can anyone tell me if I need to change the internals? Such as medium twister puck or auto gas regulator. I want the gun to shoot fast n smooth as videos I have seen. If someone could send me in the right direction thanks. I would like to cylcle bird shot if I have to ball on a budget sometimes. Also i heard to do spring work n gas adjustment. Not sure what that means. Trying to get educated on the saiga. Thanks agian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lbsrdi 1,078 Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 You are better off with the KA puck or factory puck. MD Arms is coming out with one also, I think. I have not heard anything about a release yet. The twister puck gets bad reviews by some members here, and me because I have one. Just my thoughts on the puck question.

kevin.rose0@gmail.com 62 Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 If the guy making the SBS knows what he's doing I'd suggest leaving the internals exactly like he set them up. At the absolute minimum be sure you can restore the gun to the config he shipped it to you before you mess with it. If he doesn't know what he's doing you are in trouble and probably can't fix it without a machine shop. Reliable Saiga SBSs less than 12" are not easy to make.

Fumes 84 Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 Just start reading this site til you feel ill, then continue til your eyes begin to bleed and shortly after that you will be well on your way to understanding alot of what goes on around here and what you will eventually decide for yourself. There is so much info and so many opinions that if you choose opinion first instead of reading all the info first you'll regret it. Don't get me wrtong this is a gereat site but there are tons of conflicting opinions and ideas of what is right, wrong or indiffernt. I think I spent 4 days reading before I ever posted. Good luck.

geepelton 105 Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 He says it runs like a scolded dog. Why the hell would you change anything? Changing the puck or plug is not going to make it shoot faster. My advice is get it and shoot the piss out of it. Stay away from the TWISTER PUCK ALTOGETHER, they DO NOT WORK. I have bought and tried all the after market stuff and the factory puck and plug work the best. Good luck and post some pics when you get it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Parkerson 9 Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 He says it runs like a scolded dog. Why the hell would you change anything? This Just 4 days? Well, he DID spend 3 days, 23 hrs and 50 mins longer than most. Welcome to the forum OP. Let us know if that dog has to go to the Vet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rocky6869 8 Posted March 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 Hey thanks for all the helpful knowledge. Not buying a twister puck for sure now. The guy doing mine has done over 100 sagas. He owns a machine shop and to me is very knowledgable. I have been reading these form fumes. My eyes have begun o bleed n couldn't take it anymore. Haha so I signed up an am very pleased with the results of answers. Thanks to all u guys for the opinions. Mine should be ready in a month. As long as our ATF buddies speed things up I know the Feds are busy. But I need my saiga. Got eotech quad rails magnifier (to look cool on eotech thats why magnifer haha) lights n lasers ready to deck it out. I will post pics for sure. Thanks agian u guys made this experience awesome. I'm gonna run it like a scolded dog. Haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matthew Hopkins 1,065 Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 (edited) I did my own conversion ie. moved the trigger forward, trigger assy etc... by follwing a detailed step by step tutorial on this site. I'm not the most mechanically inclined person, but if I'm able to do it, anybody can. took me only a couple hours. when my approved form 1 came back, I cut the barrel down myself to 13 inches, I did use a friend of mine 'tipping band saw" sorry don't know the offical name of the thing, and it runs great with the original plug and gas regulator in rapid fire. honestly, you didn't need to send yours off for that that kind of work.

Rocky6869 8 Posted March 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Man wish I would have known it was so easy. The guy is charging me 500 bucks. To do everything trust, forms all paper work. Conversions, threading barrel. That makes me feel better that it runs great with the regular stock internals. After reading about so many items for sell for the internals I figured it was a given. So there is no need for the auto gas regulator either? Man thanks for ur advice n all u other guys. N the links also. I read so much stuff for weeks my brain fried. Haha thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rocky6869 8 Posted March 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Thanks for the awesome club welcome. Hahah can't get saiga out of my head now. Wife says I'm n iPhone saiga zombie. Haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
