TonyRumore 1,332 Posted May 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 I just got word from Clyde Woods at RAA that the chokes are compatible with Win-chokes. There should be a boat load of guns here mid-summer with retail prices around $700 for the black gun and under $800 for camo. One thing I forgot to mention, the gun comes with two 5+1 mags. One for 2.75" shells and one for 3". It appears that the only difference is the 3" mag has shorter mag lips than the 2.75" mag. However, during testing, I ran 3" shells in the 2.75" mag and vice versa and the thng ran fine either way. Tony 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MCASgt New River 10,036 Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 As usual all I can say about Tony's work is....."AMAZING, (wipes tear) just amazing." Great job and I look forward to seeing just what all you can do to it. Question: Since there seems to be a new platform for you to work on does this mean the Saiga line of production will slow, or will you ramp up production all around? Great job & Semper Fi, MCASSgt New River Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gunfixr 76 Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Sweet. Is it just me or does the whole gun look kinda curved? It's just obvious to me since the AR rifle is straight. I need one of these to play with. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Great job & Semper Fi, MCASSgt New River I will continue to build Saigas every day, as I do now. I have no plans to offer "conversions" on the MKA-1919 at this time. Keep in mind, I took ONE day off to build this gun for personal use.....no need to be alarmed if you are waiting on your Saiga. Tony 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I need one of these to play with. It's not just you. For a moment I thought it might've been a trick of the camera lens but the scratches in the concrete underneath it are perfectly straight.

Scott Kenny 144 Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 The fact that it runs reliably off either magazine is good. I probably shouldn't show this to my 3-gun buddy. He's been looking for a new shotgun, his 1100's about worn out. The $700 price is cool, too. Tony, did you change the gas system's length? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zambidis 90 Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Thanks for the info. I look forward to seeing more reports on them as people get them and put them through their paces. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TonyRumore 1,332 Posted May 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 Gas system is the same length. I just cut down the gas bypass. Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Atlantic Firearms.com 170 Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 . Guys & Gals we will be offering the shotguns in the future but it will probably be a few months before we have them ready to ship . At this time RAA wants them thoroughly tested before releasing them for general sale . It is great that RAA wants to take the time to T&E the units before release to make sure they will stand up to the demands of the gun community. Once again Tromix is a pioneer in the development of another great aftermarket shotgun modification and accessory market . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gunfixr 76 Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 I think we have a regular hunting type Turkish shotgun or two in the shop. I'll look next week, and get some pics if so. The innards of the 1919, ie., the gas system and barrel and bolt, look like one for sure. I'm not suggesting this is a bad thing, as it would mean thay are using a system that they have been marketing for a number of years already, and know it works. Customers already like the regular shotguns. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lvjeffro 30 Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 (edited) All I ask tony, is that you make the adaptor plate for the 1919, so that it can accept index plates So the buffer tube doesnt rotate in the mount like the etac one did... Oh by the way, awesome work man!!!! Edited May 29, 2011 by lvjeffro Quote Link to post Share on other sites

beefcakeb99 572 Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Very nice work. Any chance someone will take the time to post a video of the SBS in action? Thats what I am sitting here wondering. Tease us with pics of it SBS friday night, even come to chat for a while, yet have no video for us? Still holding out as we still have a few hours left on Monday, cmon TONY!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TonyRumore 1,332 Posted May 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 I build Saiga's 7 days a week. We completely fucked up the lead time quotes for the February orders. It's quite embarrassing, as I pride myself in hitting my quoted lead times, but we were way, way off, for quite a few reasons that no one cares about. I took ONE day off to build the MKA-1919 and I don't know when I will be taking another day off Saiga building to shoot some video. I can take some vids shooting the thing in the Tromix trap at 40 feet, but thats gonna look pretty cheesy. Tony 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
beefcakeb99 572 Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 I doubt anyone would think you shooting the new gun into the Tromix trap is cheesy. We would just be glad to see it shot, especially one of the first custom ever. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TonyRumore 1,332 Posted May 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 OK, I'll get a vid as soon as Melissa gets back from out of town. The design precludes any reasonable way to do an 8" gun. It's certainly not impossible, but it would take a LOT of beer to come up with a redesign to pull off an 8" gun on this platform. Fortunately....I always have a LOT of beer on hand.

cvhanh20 1,052 Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 Repost from another thread. Russian American Armory is the sole U.S. importer, and my understanding is they air-freighted the first 100 guns into the country at a considerable cost and are now shipping single test units to various people for evaluation. If all goes well, they will then bring in a container full on a cargo boat. I don't have any specifics as to when that might be. I don't know if the single test units that were sold to a few dealers and distributors will be resold or not. I suppose that is up to the dealers. But my guess is that most dealers will shoot the gun a few hundred rounds and then cash it in on GunStroker. I assure you....I am keeping mine, this thing isn't going anywhere.

TonyRumore 1,332 Posted June 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 We will be working on them as soon as we get the CNC parts rolling. We need to build at least five U.S. parts (922r compliant) in order to do much of anything cool with these guns. I would guess we should have something rolling in 30 days or so.
