Saiga 12 conversion

[jb28]

I myself have been looking into purchasing a Saiga 12 after I shot one at the range with a drum and a 6 position collapsable stock, bada$$ btw). I've noticed people change the trigger and/or guard position why is this?

Because they suck in their "sporter" configuration. Ergonomics are terrible, and the trigger is plain awful. Very simple process to fix it, and their is a lot of great information to help you with it. I used the videos on Carolina Shooting Supplies website the first time I did one.

I used the same videos. It was really easy to do, and soooo worth it. Its an awesome gun.

Ive taken off the crap red dot and put MBUS sights on it now, but I dont like them and I think Im just gonna take the whole rail off and go back to the regular handguard.

Same as above.

Any info/help that can't be found on INGO, and it's pretty unlikely someone here can't help you, can be found here: forum.Saiga-12.com

The only downside is that after you convert an S12, you'll ask yourself "Why don't I do a Saiga 7.62 and a 5.45?" And so you will.

Did you shoot the S12 in converted or unconverted form? If you only shot a converted gun, the second you shoot an unconverted gun will be a giant wake up call. There is a bunch of linkage to connect the trigger parts together making a horrible trigger. You may then experience trigger slap. You'll also notice the balance is way off.

Make sure you convert your s12 or i'll make fun of you...and don't go buy one of those tapco "almost" conversions or everyone will think you're a dork.

Unconverted (and lame as hell)

i also really want one. nothing like a shotgun with a clip. and or drum barrel

 

[tradertator]

Yup, clips and drum barrels are the best

 

[mammynun]

The very rare and hard to find drum mag... though some would call it a clip.

If it had a shoulder thing that goes up, it would be the bees knees

:a r15: just did my conversion yesterday night. Took about 4.5 hours but totally worth it. Almost doubles the value of the gun and makes it so much cooler. hardest part is getting the shepards hook installed on the axis pins. i sprang for the doh stock with the side folder. its really great and css is a great company and their videos helped a lot.

I have watched many of the vids on youtube about the conversion. It looks pretty straight forward if you pay attention and take your time. Once the baby gets here and the wifey goes back to work I may just have to pick up a couple for us to give me something to do between diaper changes and feedings...LOL... While we were shopping at Bradis today we did eyeball the Saigas before checking out and she kinda liked them... I LOVE MY WIFE ;-)
