Saiga conversion is pretty much complete. Everything dry fires fine. It has a really nice feeling. The axis pins are peened or pinged, but i did some research and found out that the best answer is using a sheppard's crook to hold it in place. I think I kind of understand how it works, and I do have one, but anyways I wanted to ask if anyone has used this before? I know Wahid has a S-12 also, and Dan has done many conversions too. If you have used a crook before, I would really love an inside shoot on how you hooked it.

Once I have that, I will get some video feed and annihilate something. I have been thinking of what I can destroy with birdshot, since birdshot is so much cheaper. I think wood is best, but what? I am accepting ideas.

make sure you prone dive around a corner like in mw2

You HAVE to put up a video of you testing it out. You know, so the zombies that troll the internet won't mess with us.

i have not so im not sure

Maybe paint some zombies or just simple stick enemies on plywood and place them in a nice little killing route. Mount a camera next to your ear/eye, on your shoulder, behind you like these action movie constructions, and show us your zombie-exterminating

I have a 7.62 but the conversion is more or less the same. Maybe the s-12 in the sporter configuration didnt have a sheppard's crook from the factory? The standard rifles do/did, and you can even reuse them but they are some what crude design. What did you use for your trigger guard? I reshaped mine and was going to use it until I found this

Oh and if you have the S-12 dont drink the Tromix and Krebs Kool-Aid.

Thanks Wahid,

Okay I think i got it figured out. The directions that this stuff comes with are terrible. It tells you how to take it apart but not how to convert. it mentions nothing that the screw in the grip needs to be cut or the hammer's tube needs 50/1000's dremmeling.

Anyways, I got the shepherds crook thing figured out. Also I used tromix stuff sparingly. Some of their stuff is good, but not all of it. Tapco, Hogue, Tromix, Md-Arms, and UTG combined.

I will report back in a couple days once I get it all completely ready

*long breath in and sigh* yet another issue. The axis pins are held in place, but now the hammer does not seem to catch in the receiver when the bolt is cocked back. If I open it up, I can manually lock the trigger down, but that's about the only way. The only thing I can think of is to dremmel down the receiver, but that prospect really worries me. I can think of a thousand bad endings on doing that. Also it seems like there will be a lot of filing too, not just a little bit. Wahid or Dan got any other ideas? I checked the tension springs from the hammer, and they do not appear to be in the way.

Just buy a damn AK. The games make them seem easy enough to maintain.

i think you are going to have to take it all apart and start all over from the begining if that does not work then put it back original and see if that worrks you probably got a bad kit take a picture of your instructions and what you have done to your gun and post them please then we can look the more pictures the better
