doodi1 23 Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Has anyone tried to install the Saiga 12 030 railed gas blocks that K-Var sells on a VEPR 12? Is it even possible without extensive hacking or machine work on the block? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
menace667 194 Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 In another thread someone said it has been done but does require modification. The post i saw did not specify if it was to the gun or the GB though. Pauly said he will make your factory GB railed for like $70 i think it was. Do not know the specifics of that deal, but you can contact him if interested. Could possibly contact an outside vendor from the russian area and see if it is possible to get a factory one also. That vendor has recently acquired some factory railed handguards so a GB should not be out of the question also. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I would really like to see a pic of a gas block that had the rail added using this service? Anyone have a link or pic? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

menace667 194 Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 Send a message to this guy... http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?/user/19652-paul-m-pawlowski/ ...

bruce soderholm 4 Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 Saigatech.com has a pic of a welded gas block. As far as the railed gb from kvar, the pin holes need drilled out. They have indents where they need drilled. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vette447 11 Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 That looks pretty decent. Would having this service performed on your VEPR FSB/Gas Block make it a "US Made" part for 922r compliance? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Would having this service performed on your VEPR FSB/Gas Block make it a "US Made" part for 922r compliance? The part has to be manufactured in the US (marked US also I believe) to meet 922 compliance requirements. I believe that is a Russian 030 FSB used. Saigatech.com has a pic of a welded gas block. As far as the railed gb from kvar, the pin holes need drilled out. They have indents where they need drilled. I went to their website and couldnt find it. Go to the website, click products at the top, and then scroll down and look at the FSB on the picture of teh 030 model. Then just below it there is pricing Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WUNDERWAFFEN 21 Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 I took some pictures once I received this a few weeks back. Figured I post them as a reference for those that are interested. This is NOT a welded block. This is the unit from K-Var & Impact Guns. "Saiga 12 Front Sight Block" "Mfr: SG-142" "AI-SG-142" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
doodi1 23 Posted June 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 So has anyone tried fitting the Saiga block to the VEPR 12? I have one of them and been saving it for a Saiga 12 that I might have in my future. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ec4321 113 Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 The railed block from Kvar, pictured above, does fit properly on a Vepr. I have one. It works. It's fully installed and functioning. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
