Brad737 4 Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 Hello all, I'm a new Saiga owner. I got my S12 already converted from Classic Arms. It took 3 weeks to get the weapon, after they told me they were in stock and ready to go. But that's old news now. Here's my shotgun as I presently have it configured: First off, I straightened the pistol grip. It was put on crooked, but it only took a couple minutes to put it on straight and Loctite it down. The grip feels really nice. The gun originally came with a Warsaw-length Tapco stock, but that was way too small for me. (I'm not that big a guy...6'1", 200 lbs...) I added a NATO-length KVar stock and added a recoil reducing buttpad. The length of pull is perfect for me now. I also added a flash hider and V-Plug, as well as bought a few mags. There are a couple more things I'm going to upgrade before I'm "through". I'm definitely going to have my bolt polished, hopefully I'll find a few spare minutes to get the parts shipped off this week. I'm also definitely going to add a Krebs enhanced safety lever. I have one on my MAK-90, and it's a vast improvement. I'm very interested in better sights. I'm currently leaning towards the CSS Tactical set. Anyone use these? Any other recommendations? http://store.carolinashooterssupply.com/servlet/-strse-921/CSS-TACTICAL-SAIGA-12/Detail Lastly, I'm thinking about possibly switching the handguard to this unit: http://store.carolinashooterssupply.com/servlet/-strse-649/KVAR-SAIGA-12-HAND/Detail It's gotten some good reviews, but I'm still not 100% sure... I've also considered a new puck, but I'm not sure if that would really be worth it. Are there any "must-have" mods that you all think might be a good idea? Thanks, Brad Quote Link to post Share on other sites
physicsnerd 139 Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 NICE! That looks very much like mine except it has the Tromix DIY guard, some aftermarket sights and a Chaos tri-rail but when i got it back from Rifle Dynamics it looked very much the same and is awesome. Enjoy shooting yours! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
renegade331 31 Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 Have you shot it yet? If it cycles everything fine i wouldnt bother with a new puck. Looks good though! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brad737 4 Posted November 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 No, I haven't fired it yet. I'm gonna strip out the bolt and FCG and send it off to Pauly for polishing first. Have you shot it yet? If it cycles everything fine i wouldnt bother with a new puck. Looks good though! The trigger guard doesn't have any markings on it, so I don't know who makes it. But it's riveted on instead of screws. The color is a bit gray compared to the rest of the gun. Seems really sturdy. Anyone know where I can get that trigger guard? That's the one.

SDRider 7 Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 (edited) Have you shot it yet? If it cycles everything fine i wouldnt bother with a new puck. Looks good though! Im no expert but I totally agree. I would test fire the gun to see if it even needs anything. I mean why through away money if you dont have to. If after you test fire, you find the gun is not performing. Then look at sending things off to work. I had similar plans just like you till I test fired my gun this past weekend, with no FTF, or FTE Id rather save the money for ammo and range time. At the same time though, I totally respect the need to deck out whatever you own. I often do the same =) Cong Btw..nice saiga! Congrats!

renegade331 31 Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 Mine has three ports and i was having trouble cycling federal bulk pack ammo. I bought the MD arms booster puck and it cycles everything great now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brad737 4 Posted December 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 CSS is still out of the sights I want, but I did add that KVAR handguard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
