dodgeturbointerceptor 1 Posted November 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 Oh good! I was worried. For those that bought the dozen 12" barreled Tromix guns, they will be delivered as promised as soon as the Form 3's clear the ATF, so don't freak out. I am still here, just finishing up the last remaining orders. I've made some wild stuff over the years but it's time to move on. I'm burned out.................... Tony Rumore Tromix Corp That was the last I had seen from you. I was at school since early Apr. Wasn't on the site much for the last 6 months. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cobra 76 two 2,677 Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 So Tony have you actually communicated with ATF about the S-12 gas piston vs carrier extension deal? I replaced the part that's called a gas piston in AKs to stay in compliance with my foreign furniture and threaded bbl. if what you said about that is true then I'm still not in compliance unless I replace one more part. How much are those "gas pistons" like the one pictured above. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TonyRumore 1,332 Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 No, I have not asked the ATF for a clarification on the gas piston versus the carrier extension. It does not matter either way to me since I change enough parts to U.S. that I don't need to change one of these. Technically speaking though, a piston is not a "GAS" piston unless it's under direct gas pressure impingment. The carrier extension see's no direct gas impingment, thus it is merely a piston, not a "gas" piston. You can have all sorts of pistons, mechanical, hydraulic, knumatic, etc, but each see's direct impingment from some other form of energy. In the case of the Saiga, that energy is gas from the barrel. My guess is that the ATF never disassembled the Saiga, so they were probably unaware that there was a seperate gas piston in the cylinder and just assumed the carrier extension has hit with direct gas impingment like any other AK. Of courese the ATF could rule either way, that's why I don't rely on that particular part as one in my U.S. "count". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cobra 76 two 2,677 Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Well that makes sense. Even though the rifles are different than the shotties. Well if I wanted to get one just to be sure, how much would it cost me? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kmoore 3 Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Tony, I'm interested in sighting options on the Saiga. Could you give more info on the HK work you mention above. Do any rails on the top of the saiga? Think it would be hard to mount a Doctor out front? Normally I'd just PM you these questions, but others might be interested?

TonyRumore 1,332 Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 On the HK site installation, there is a 1/4" wide notch cut across the back of the top cover and a bar welded in place from the bottom. The bar retains the rear site and has a 10-32 screw that holds the hub onto the bar. It is adjustable for windage by loosening the screw and sliding the hub back and forth on the bar. I shoot the sights in with a laser when they are mounted, so I really doubt you would ever need any windage adjustment anyway. The hub can also be raised and lowered for elevation, but does require and HK adjustment tool. The front sight is mounted by cutting the G3 triple tree frame in half, expanding the bottom hoop to 1.00" and then TiG welding it to the gas cylinder. I have never played with putting a picatinny rail on the top. I have only had one customer request for that in the past. Cobra - The gas pistons are $20 shipped.

RDSWriter 5 Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Tony: I would also appreciate info on pricing for your US parts, modifications and refinishing work. Rather than send a PM... is there somewhere where this info is already posted on this board? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TonyRumore 1,332 Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 All the options and pricing is on the front page of the Tromix website at www.tromix.com Quote Link to post Share on other sites
