How to SBS a Saiga
I've been kicking around the idea of sending away for a tax stamp and buying a Saiga 12. I've found tutorials for converting them to the pistol grip/stock set-up but I can't find any on cutting the barrel and moving the gas system back. Most of the places that specialize in Saigas charge 400-500 just for that job, and I figure why spend the money if I have access to all the tools.
Has anybody seen a tutorial on the web?

How short are you wanting to whack the barrel?
You may not have to move the gas block, maybe only have to open the port some if it doesn't cycle completely once you cut the barrel back.RIP: SFN, 1861, twoeggsup, Lambo, jamesjo, JayBell, 32 Magnum, Pro2A, mrwildroot, dregan, Frenchy, Fragger, ungawa, Mtn Jack, Grapeshot, R.W.J., PennsyPlinker, Statkowski, Deanimator, roland, aubie515

Re: How to SBS a Saiga
Tony stopped doing the "unusual" custom work due to the backlog it was creating, but either way if you want to do it yourself it can be done. From my understanding is that the real trick is getting the gun to run both birdshot and buck with the shorter gas system. I may have some information squirreled away if I can find it.

Check the Saiga-12 forums. Any and all info you will need for the job will most likely be found there.
