Definitely cool!

Certainly comes to a middle.

I own a small gunsmithing business called Cobras Custom. I have quite a bit of equipment including a mill and a lathe. So the project is alive more than ever.

Check it out.

Heya!

Just wanted to wish you good luck with your project. Be prepared to spend some major $ unless you're good friends with a machinist! (Taking a wild guess I'd say a few grand or so.) The parts are a lot more intricate than you might think at first glance.

My non-working replica has been underway for over a year now and can be found here:

A year and a half later.

I was in Iraq for a year so that put Vera on hold.

The good news. I own a small gunsmithing business called Cobras Custom. I have quite a bit of equipment including a mill and a lathe. So the project is alive more than ever.

Check it out.

If I had that , I'm pretty sure it would become my very favorite gun...

I'd get 'er dressed up and take her out someplace nice...

If I had that, I'm pretty sure I'd get in trouble... :)


Callahan, there are a few of us Saiga owners hanging out around here. Fremdfirma is another Saiga12 lover; I'm sticking with my trusty old 7.62x39mm Saiga. Thousands of rounds through her, and only one failure to feed, ever. She is my very favorite gun. :)
