armory 142 Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Good luck and let us know if/where you find them. They are pretty much nonexistent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
haugpatr 972 Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 you find them in new guns. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lbsrdi 1,078 Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 I do not know if this is still available. http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?/topic/72445-s12-parts-including-bolt-carrier-and-more/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eric Pate 478 Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 AFAIK, No replacement parts are shipped to the US by Izhmash. Just the guns. The only way to pick up spares is when someone inadvertently demills one and has to sell the parts. You can sometimes find rare parts for sale by private individuals overseas but these transactions are always buyer-beware. Good luck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lone Star Arms 2,047 Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 What happened to your barrel? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HB of CJ 1,263 Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 Answers already given and thank you. Several individuals/companies are looking at custom machining of critical Saiga spare parts, particularily Saiga 12 and 7.62x51 Carrier Groups, recoil spring assemblies and other stuff. The recurring problem is $expense$....how badly do you want that bolt group anyway? I for one have tried 3 regional custom machine shops dealing with gun parts and the answers are all about the same. Not enough demand resulting in sky high prices. HB of CJ (old coot) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
second shooter 22 Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 i guess the best option would be to buy a saiga 12 completly strip it down to individual parts, keep the bits you want and sell off the rest, you never know it may be worth much more in parts than a complete gun(like cars are) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kresk 10,063 Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 Why would one need those replacement parts if the originals were properly taken care of? What did you screw up? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deadeye 325 Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 take a trip to russia Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jackface 8 Posted March 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 I don't really need the parts.I just like to have backup parts incase something breaks.just like my at-15 s if something breaks it will be fixed in seconds.I guess I just run my guns hard.I have no safe queen,they all get equal attention.

scoutjoe 276 Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 I'm closing in on 10k through my 2002 S-12... Other than the conversion parts I haven't replaced a thing. Still runs like a top. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jackface 8 Posted March 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 wow.10k.and no problems.does anyone know what the recomended life of some of these parts is.of course wear and care would differ from gun to gun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
saltydecimator 482 Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 right, prob only failures due to shit parts....shoulda never passed "qc". its all steel brother, shit shouoldnt wwear out Quote Link to post Share on other sites
corbin 621 Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 I guess my purchase on an S12 carrier and bolt was a decent investment, some time back. It wasn't cheap, as I doubt they would be now...... but if you can find a spare, hang onto it. Unless of course you get an offer you can't refuse. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
