TonyRumore 1,332 Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 I had never seen a real 12-C before this one came in the shop. I cropped the barrel to 11.5" which is as short as I could go with the factory gas block position and AK style sight. It runs fine on full power ammo, but I doubt it will run low base target shells. The customer is only going to run full power ammo, so it's not an issue. http://www.hunt101.com/showphoto.php?photo=371509 BTW, if you guys are not interested in seeing various stuff that rolls through the shop, just let me know and I will stop posting it. It's interesting to me, so I hope it is to you as well. Tony Rumore Tromix Crop Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wolverine 10,360 Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Tony, Yeah, looking at your stuff is addictive. That short barreled 12 you just posted must have a little kick even with the compensator!! Wolverine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dodgeturbointerceptor 1 Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 OMFG Actual Saiga-12C with Tapco parts and chopped..................... blasphemy. If Tony really cared about Saigas(more than money..lol ) He would beat whoever did that! I could never chop a real C, when there are basic sporter Saiga-12's out there. I don't think any Saiga-12C's/LEO are gonna be imported in that configuration. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TonyRumore 1,332 Posted January 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Some guys aren't collector's and keep guns for life, so modifying the gun is not a big deal to them. I understand that. I have some guns that I would never modify like my 44 AutoMag S/N B00370 which is the very LAST true production AutoMag ever made. But a Saiga.........I'd cut it......at least today anyway. I might eat those words some day.................... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If Tony really cared about Saigas(more than money..lol ) He would beat whoever did that! I could never chop a real C, when there are basic sporter Saiga-12's out there. I don't think any Saiga-12C's/LEO are gonna be imported in that configuration. The muzzle was chewed up due to a poor flash hider install. The die was pre-set (by a previous user) and unfortunately, adjusted too tight resulting in a paper thin wall between the internal choke threading and the external flash hider threads. That was my first and last foray into gunsmithing. My only options were to replace the barrel or remove the affected area. Since the weapon only cost $400, I figured this would be a good opportunity to add to my toy chest with a Short Barrel Shotgun. A video will be forthcoming.

pedal2alloy 206 Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Keep posting pics Tony! Whenever I see that pegboard or that pool table, I know there will be some good shit on there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dinzag 31 Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 (edited) Hell yeah Tony, keep 'em coming!! For those who don't care for what you're doing ( ), they need not click on the link or comment. I myself enjoy checking 'em out. Would be nice to have a Tromix sub-folder or link-thread so I don't have to search for all your stuff when I'm showing my buddies. I'm sure you'll have a bunch more coming with the Saigas rolling back in-country. edited to add: I put an area in my post in the Tech Section to pile links. I had a couple there already so as I find 'em, I'll put them in...If anyone else wants any in there, PM me the link. Edited January 31, 2006 by dinzag Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have a AutoMag factory brochure somewhere that I got from them sometime in the mid-seventies. Very nice firearms, even by today's standards. RonSwin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TonyRumore 1,332 Posted January 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Here's a pic of the AutoMag. It has an extremely rare full vent 8.5" barrel like the one used by Clint Eastwood in Sudden Impact. Most all 8.5" guns do not have a vent rib, only the 6.5" bbls do. http://www.hunt101.com/showphoto.php?photo...t=500&password= Quote Link to post Share on other sites
