From looking at the pictures, I'm guessing the folding stock won't fold (at least all the way) with the EOTech installed - doesn't look like there is room for the mount to attach to the side.

I've been lucky, my Saiga 12 only had 2 FTF's in the first 300 rounds, perfect since. What ammo are you using? The usual culprit for the problems you describe is using too-light ammo, the S-12's prefer heavier loads to cycle properly. Look at Tromix's website, they have a page outlining a lot of det...

Where did you get your parts kit? GunThings has one with a parked barrel and FSB attached that looks mighty tempting. Got them both from Sarco. The M16A1 kit parts are new, just minor wear from years of storage. Barrel hasn't been parkerized, FSB is not attached. Currently trying to decide between ...

I want an AR-10 for hogs, a retro AR-15A1, a modern carbine....too many wants, too little money. :cryin I'm in the same boat. I'm waiting on a Nodak Spud Lo...

How that is possible to get the bullet travel backwards and hit the shooter in the head? How lucky was he? I guess he would be dead it that bullet had enough energy or did no hit the dirt first. About 20 years ago I was hit in the ribs by a bullet fragment from a .357 magnum I was firing - indoor r...
