I have put about 650rds of federal bulk down range, Its really such a fun gun. Pumps are cool but they don't compare to unloading a MD-20 downrange. I just recently bought a SGL-2161 to occupy my time while the Saiga-12 is apart with guts removed at Pauly's. I probably wont buy another weapon for a little bit as the SGL2161 was a birthday present to myself lol and funds are running low :)

I saw a pretty big list, a paragraph and it was awesomely followed be NO PIX, wtf was that LOL, my "money pit" like the show with Tom Hanks as a movie with no fricken picture of the house...

 

I'm not sure where I stand on size of penis really, but here's a pic of mine :) I have quite a list of things to add to it. starting with an OD green light/vert grip, matching, pistol grip, varmint light, tubular style red dot instead of reflex, vented shroud or large muzzle brake, and the recoil stock I ordered 3 weeks ago when I cancel my order from mako and buy it from a middle man who will actually send it in a timely fashion (mako is a bunch of azz monkies and I never intend to buy anything direct again from them and maybe I'll steer away from their crap completely perhaps!) anyway, at least I have a paragraph and small list to go with my pic :P

my black rifle set isn't very big yet, but I'm hoping to keep expanding. I sold 2 AR15s so far and hope to keep going with it lol. bring in accessories and sell them too but I need a bigger client base :(

What forearm is on the one second from the bottom? And is the bottom rail to MIL-STD-1913 specs? I only ask because I have a Grip Pod that will only fit on a Picatinny Rail and found out the hard way it wson't fit on a Weaver rail.

well, it's no wonder you call yours a "money pit", 95 percent of all that stuff you bought isn't even needed or necessary.

I have the unfair advantage wink.png

 

You should change your nic from the vowel starved "evlblkwpnz" to Saigod.

I needed a good laugh. That took me there. I'm not that good at this stuff.... just passionate about it.

 

Wait until you see my next "creation". The basic raw unfinished build should be ready to test fire in a week, maybe sooner if I can get a couple of good rain-outs at work. I might try to shoot some video of it running. Once again, I'm going where I've never gone before, so it is a slow moving project.

EXACTLY.

 

Here is a rundown of my SBS

 

 

$650 S12

260 triangle folder

65 front latch

6 MOLOT grip (bought a bunch when they were on sale)

7 grip screw and bushing

7 FCG retainer plate

25 AK Builder trigger guard

6 rivets

10 Saiga rifle handguard

200 tax stamp

80 engraving

 

 

$1316 (unless my coffee hasn't kicked in yet, lol)

 

I consider it a success when budget is compared to the actual results.

"engraving"?? How about some detailed pictures of that?

Yes, and the passion and innovative thinking here and in the existing Saiga-12 community is what came to mind when I read the thread about the pump fanboy's article dissing the S-12.

That is a SGM Tri-rail. I have used it on my Saiga also.
