mxwelch 15 Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Ok guys I've searched for this but I'm on my phone and it's limited in what functions I have so forgive me if thus has been covered. I picked up my 12 but haven't even had a chance to look at it yet. My question is this: what methods are used to plug the old gas holes when I shorten the gas block by around 3". I should wait to ask this until I've had it apart and have a better idea what I'm looking at but I'm at work running things thru my head. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
romad7 75 Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 (edited) TIG welding is the best method. Have you read this http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?/topic/38318-sbs-technical-info-thread/ Have you done the conversion yet? That's a great way to get to know the girl before going all the way. Also, an unconverted SBS would be just silly to me. Edited December 13, 2012 by romad7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mxwelch 15 Posted December 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Thanks!! Oh she's gonna get the works. I wanted to get the paperwork rolling so the 30-60 days can get started. I'm filling out the Form 1 now. As for the welding I have some guys at my shop that are artisits with a welder. Nuclear certified so that won't be a problem. I'm gonna strip it down as soon as I have a few. Thought about going 13" but I might make it 12. Got some reading to do first. Thanks again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
poolingmyignorance 2,191 Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 30 to 60 days?! Um... try 6 to 8 months. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mxwelch 15 Posted December 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Then it's changed since I did a form 1 for a suppressor and a form 4 for a machinegun. Got one back in 6 weeks and the other right at a month. on second thought I'm going to convert it first and then save the money to SBS it. No idea what the OAL will be before I do.

well2160 42 Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 Just did a Form 1 and a Form 4 and both took 6 months and one week. Good luck with the project! nfatracker.com has good info on NFA approval times. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
