Saiga-lo 2my little friend 0 Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 Hello, everyone. I am a new saiga-12 owner and new to this forum, and I couldn't be happier. Thanks to everyone who has contributed so much to this site, I have been researching for a month and still find new things each time I log in! I was fortunate enough to get one in these troubling times, but not so lucky to acquire any higher capacity magazines or drums... Hopefully I will luck into one or this may all blow over. After testing it out with the gambit of different rounds, I am comfortable that I have a solid gun. I am working on some conversions and got the idea to install a Chainsaw type of grip on the forend. I thought that this would be easy to find, but I am not having any luck... I found one on the Mossberg website, see attached image. They sell a package deal, but don't seem to offer the grip by itself... Before I commit to building one from scratch, does anyone know of a commercially made Chainsaw handle type forend grip out there. Thanks in advance for any help.

thebuns1 4,323 Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 I wouldnt want it. Looks like ass IMO. But if thats what you want then go for it! I thought Mossberg was selling that as a stand alone part? Guess not though. Welcome to the forum! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
misterT 174 Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 I have never seen one made for a Saiga 12 BUT other members have modified fore ends from Remingtons and other shotguns to fit on a Saiga. Also I see that the "chainsaw grip" is attached to a Picitinny rail so you should be able to attach it one of the several fore ends tha have a rail on the bottom. So long as the chainsaw grip is tall enough to fit which it looks like it would. You can be the first to mount one on a Saiga and let everyone know how it works!

thebuns1 4,323 Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 Yeah if you do get it to fit, Im not sure on how much it would interfere with your sight picture. Id be more concerned about that more than anything. Let us know how it goes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ronin38 2,117 Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 That grip isn't designed for a "sight picture", it's designed for a laser-dot or flashlight. Primarily though (I think...) it's main purpose is for breaching doors and not much else. I've never handled one, but it just looks clumsy as hell to try to use.

DNR 20 Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 (edited) it fits on any rail system, so get a quad rail system. I agree, it does not lend to shoulder fire or aiming down sights, it is a hip mounted - laser or flashlight aim. If you think about it, a over the shoulder sling would be better as it would hold the weight of the weapon for ya. It can be a double point sling - not a three point as shown - Edited January 6, 2013 by DNR Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Saiga-lo 2my little friend 0 Posted January 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 (edited) Thanks everyone. I agree that this is a little bit more than impractical.... I wouldn't leave it on at all times. I do currently have a quad rail system with a standard vertical grip. I just thought that it would be fun to shoot off a drum from the hip. If I get anything together, I will be sure to share it! Thanks again Edited January 6, 2013 by Saiga-lo 2my little friend Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gunfun 3,931 Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 If you want silly fun, skip the chainsaw handle, and get Cobra to build you a chainsaw for your S12. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lebednik 1 Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 meh, got one last year... j/k lol Okay HOW THE F DO I GET THAT CHAINSAW ATTACHMENT! That is the baddest fing thing ever. I need 5 of em. I mean that is just rowdy cool. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gunfun 3,931 Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Simple. You buy from the 3rd group to knock them off, or you contact a forum vendor here who was the first to make them, give him some money and wait a few months. The question is how much do you really want one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
misterT 174 Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 (edited) I might have to watch the local Goodwill for one of those cheap electric chainsaws to make one of those just to freak out my liberal antigun brother inlaw! Though he did say the other day he was thinking about getting a gun, but NO ONE needs one of those assault rifles. It would be awesome to see the look on his face, I could tell him its the bayonet for the 21st and 1/2 century! If I could find a DC motor so i could run it on a battery he would shit his pants. I have no idea what I would do with it after that I would honestly be embarrased to be be seen with it in public! Edited January 8, 2013 by misterT Quote Link to post Share on other sites
theorangeplanet 968 Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 I think a chainsaw might be the perfect attachment for my evil Mosin build! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
