Michael's Custom Saiga-12
Some time ago I posted a video of Michael shooting one of his Saiga-12 shotguns. He got in touch with me and explained that since then he has become a passionate Saiga-12 nut and now sells custom Saiga-12′s.
Michael, who work as a designer / jeweler / metal smith, bought his first Saiga-12 when ammunition was becoming scare and he wanted a shotgun so that he could use the relatively cheap and available 12 gauge ammunition. One thing led to another and customizing these guns became a passion of his.
Modifications include …
Enhanced action with honed, mirror finished bolt, bolt carrier, carrier rails, and feed ramp.
Four or five vent, polished and ported enhanced gas system with mirror finished, builder modified gas plug.
Custom modified, sculpted and vented fore end with integrated Command Arms 2″ picatinny rail.
Modified Tapco G2 trigger control group with honed and sculpted mirror finished contact surfaces on hammer.
Tapco Galil style folding stock tapped and mounted with extra heavy duty torque bolts.
Tapco M249 style Saw grip with builder designed custom heavy duty receiver mount.
Flawless cycling with all types of 2 3/4″ and 3″ 12 gauge ammo.
Durable, high heat ceramic enamel finish.
He does not have a website but he can be emailed at mm_rogers [] yahoo [] com (replace [] with correct character) or contacted on the phone (505-263-8822).
I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!
