gregomega 929 Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 (edited) Ive received confirmation from Troy today that my S12 040-05 is finally done. Didnt take a whole year either. Here is the initial thread: http://forum.saiga-1...-040-05-legion/ Cost me about $425 and took 7 months as quoted. Very happy. I really can't believe how good this turned out. I dont even have it in my hands yet and I know its going to be GRAVY. The builder was kind enough to take pics of its progress and I wanted to share with everyone. Pretty cool pics if I do say so myself. Coming from a wannabe smith mind you. Some of you guys are lucky enough to work on these for a living. Im just stuck going ooooh and aaahhhh, drooling over it: Here we go: And the final product, try not to get any drool on your keyboards. Huge thanks to Troy @ InRange and the Saiga12.com forum. This build has been a dream of mine since I joined. Edited November 14, 2012 by AZG 10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gregomega 929 Posted November 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Best looking one of that model that I have seen. Congrats! Thanks Brother! Its been a long long time coming. Never thought id have anything more than the standard S12, which, dont get me wrong is AWESOME enough in its own right, but these models being imported really kicked it up a notch IMO. Glad the Vepr12s are here aswell. I look forward to the AK12-12's coming in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Glad the Vepr12s are here aswell. I look forward to the AK12-12's coming in. Exactly. After two years of dealing with vodka specials it is really nice to see better QC in the S12 and a variety of other imports in the 030, 040s, and V12. If the AK12s come in, I'll have to have one. So many guns, so little money. Lol. Btw, did you happen to look at shortening the barrel at all? I'm not sure if/how the front sight can be moved as it looks to be pressed on (no pins). I'm guessing you would have to cut the barrel, remove the portion of the barre from inside the front sight and then repress or solder it back on to the shortened barrel. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure what to do with this one yet. Probably just enjoy the shit out of it for now. Its had its turn for upgrades. Also, still trying to sort out what Im going to do with my 1st S12. Was going to go 8" but changed my mind and want to stay around 12.5-13.5". Might hit up tac47 or Sierra Ordnance Company.......not sure yet. Was waiting to see what was gonna happen with elections but the original plan fell through so I have to figure something else out. As for the front sight, its attached with a screw. easily removable.

doodi1 23 Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Great looking shotgun! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gregomega 929 Posted November 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Great looking shotgun! Thanks man. Really happy with how it turned out. Some info on it: I had Troy -weld up and refinish all the unused holes -weld on akbuilder trigger guard and re enforcement plate -install 100 series stock/SVDS stock -and refinish -Also asked that the forearm ring be tightened up as its coming loose after firing. Not sure how that will be yet. Kindof a test and go situation. -He said to send it back if its not resolved which is fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
