gunfun 3,931 Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 Hope it works out for you. If you need to repair yours, Cobra's customs is probably your best bet. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maknwar 33 Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 Going to cost a fortune, hopefully you didn't pay much for the saiga. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Did he happen to mention a guy named Pauly? There are one or two guys around here with a spare, you may be able to make a deal. Watch GB and the For Sale section here for somebody parting one out. R&R is probably your best bet though. Good luck, hope you find one. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gunfun 3,931 Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 Pauly is a guy who stole a lot of his customer's bolts and bolt carriers. The comment was basically inquiring whether the guy you bought it from might have been one of his victims. IMO, just suck up the cash and pay R&R their asking price. It will be better quality than stock, and you will still have an awesome shotgun at a bargain. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HB of CJ 1,263 Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 Awhile back R & R Targets was getting close to marketing S12 complete Bolt Heads AND complete BCG assemblies? One can imagine you get what you pay for. Very high quality? Bring all the money. I am saving up mine. HB 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Spartacus 1,619 Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 Keep an eye on pawn shops too. If you can find one in rough shape and swing a deal on it, you can pull the bolt and part out the rest of it yourself. It might be worth putting in some time online looking for pawn shops that do a volume in Saiga's. A shop that does a lot of new/used Saiga sales may have a junker around. Check with Tom Cole and Tromix too, they all have parts boxes and you may get lucky. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So I'm on a mission to find one. thanks!! ouch! if you part it out and do it right, you might have enough for a working saiga. what did you pay? seems to me that you either repair, make or hire out the part once you break or loose the guts of a saiga. The only other route would be to buy parts off a donor gun. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gunfun 3,931 Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 R&R currently has threads selling both OEM bolts and their custom ones. Pick your flavor, they sell them. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
netpackrat 566 Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 (edited) R&R currently has threads selling both OEM bolts and their custom ones. Pick your flavor, they sell them. They have carriers. I don't think they have the bolt itself for sale yet. Edited November 17, 2015 by Netpackrat Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gunfun 3,931 Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Oh you are probably right on that. I had thought they had threads for each of these. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Doug Hartley 526 Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Bolt heads are in testing but waiting for the OK to advertise for sale. We need to make sure they work and hold up before selling to the public. Doug 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
G O B 3,516 Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 Unlike a bolt carrier, a bolt head is NOT a drop in fit. Replacement bolts NEED to be lapped into the lugs, and re-headspaced. Replacements should probably be slightly over long in the locking lugs to allow some lapping without needing to set the barrel back excessively. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skullface405420 45 Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Well, I'd dang sure hate to send my only working bolt to anybody but maybe there would be a way to take a measurement with some kind of headspace gauge and someone could custom make each bolthead to customer specs. I wonder if they do anything like that with other aks. I could probley see people buy one if it was that simple just to have a spare if price was right. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Russianakaddict 1 Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 I too bought a S12 missing the bolt head about 2 years ago at the wanamaker show. It was brand new in the box for $400 (didnt realize at the time how hard this would be), they said it was received without one from their distributor. How the hell does something like that get lost?! R&R, I as well just messaged you before writing this post. I just joined and saw this posting. Im excited about the prospect of finally finding one after several years of checking GB, local shops and calling several importers. Thanks everyone for the info!!

Doug Hartley 526 Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 Robert says bolts are about 2 weeks out. Call him at 503-551-7283 to get in line. Doug Quote Link to post Share on other sites
