dogs1972 0 Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 Does anyone on the forum own an "Eclipse" Saiga 12 modification sold by Duck Creek Armory, Davenport, IA. <<DELETED NON-BUSINESS MEMBER LINK>> I have been trying to find reviews online but haven't come up with anything. I am curious how this modification would compare with the Trommix and Red Jacket upgrades. Any thoughts, comments or experiences would be much appreciated. I'm not really set up do doing a lot of gunsmithing at home so I'm looking for something that's pretty much ready to shoot. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
montec 164 Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 (edited) I've been seeing partial and fully 922r converted saiga 12's in retail stores(fleet farm, gander mountain) and online. I'm not sure who is converting or what's been actually done to them. I think the ones converted are a bit over priced unless you's buying from the forums sponsors. And I thought it was 9parts for 922r, not 6. Edited August 5, 2012 by montec Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jetter 0 Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 I looked at the Eclipse for some time but it's just converted with easily added parts and a paint job, so I decided to make one similar but in my own style. That company also sells one called the Dragon with a pistol grip only and no stock which some say on this forum is not even legal to sell or own. I don'y understand it as it seems like a double standard since Mossberg sells pistol grip shots guns by the truckload. The Dragon is what really got me interested in building my own Saiga 12 as it was the first one I saw with pistol grip only and a barrel shroud, which I think is a really cool look.

dogs1972 0 Posted August 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 (edited) Careful linking a vendor that is not a contributing member of this forum. Can you direct me to contributing members that offer converted Saiga 12's similar to the "Eclipse"? Do you have experience with these or could you provide a recommendation of one that has similar features and is in a comparable price range? Thank you!

Jetter 0 Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 You can have everything done custom but I have not found any that are the same at that one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mullet Man 2,114 Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 That gun is about $500 over priced. And they dont even fill the holes in the receiver. I bet money the only shells it will run are full powered high brass loads too. They have done nothing more then a DIY home gunsmith job and slapped a ridiculous price onto it. Wise decision would be to spend your money elsewhere. Or do it yourself. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Will it run? You will not find out until it is too late and they probably do not offer any kind of performance guarantee. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
