CBR Shadow 53 Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 I've got dibs on your bolt and carrier! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PRISONSHANK 70 Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 if they're NIB i could see the bolt/carrier going up to 250 and the maybe even the same for the barrel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kresk 10,063 Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 Certain parts are not commonly available and as such you might just as well name your price--whatever the market bears. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChileRelleno 7,071 Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 (edited) Doug at the now defunct, avtomatsinaction.com used to get parts in on a infrequent basis, he always had the cool stuff. I bought my spare S12 Complete Bolt Assembly for $60.+S/H, IIRC, Bolt Carriers when available went for about a $80.00 and Safety Selectors were like $5.00. Now though, supply & demand is much higher, K-Var charges about 2X-3X for those I listed above. They charge a small fortune for parts, if they're even available... Which they're not, haven't been in forever and likely never will be. I've often half joked that I'd sell my bolt assembly for $500.00 to those who managed to FUBAR their own. No one has taken me up on it yet Edited November 20, 2011 by ChileRelleno Quote Link to post Share on other sites
G O B 3,516 Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 At one time, there was a gray market where people were buying Corvettes new and parting them out. Looks like you are fishing to see if this is a viable option for Saigas. Good luck with this, if you can make a buck the factory may see the profit potential for spare parts and make them available in America. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
YOT 3,743 Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 At one time, there was a gray market where people were buying Corvettes new and parting them out. Looks like you are fishing to see if this is a viable option for Saigas. Good luck with this, if you can make a buck the factory may see the profit potential for spare parts and make them available in America. My thoughts exactly. Not necessarily a bad idea, but I'd be careful how much I invested. Some parts would go alot faster than other parts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
csspecs 1,987 Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 Simple, just list the parts on the condition that they are available when all are sold.. Also odds are the receiver is about worthless without the trunnions, separating them may not be profitable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PROBIKE101 0 Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 dibs on block and barrel gas tube. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
evergreenkid29 14 Posted November 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Well It started when a local guy welded on my receiver and then ground on it trying to fill in the xxxxxxx box. Said it was going to be tig welded and I think he Mig welded it, caused some uneven areas, hit a rivet with the grinder then either tried to replace it or ground the head off the rest of the way and welded a head back on to the stump. So I have one gun to part out and I was thinking about trying to buy a few more to part out. If I can buy them used, already converted or semi converted there would be more stuff to sell.

TonyRumore 1,332 Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 You can get a lot more than $20 bucks for a top cover. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

evlblkwpnz 3,418 Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 They should at least add up to what a new S12 costs these days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
