Saiga 12 Last Shot Bolt Hold Open

[penguinofsleep]

Anyone know of a part or new magazines/followers that have a last shot bolt hold open for a Saiga 12? Right now I only have the original bolt hold open that came with the S12 (edit: it is in my converted S12 already)

So far the only thing I know of is a custom install but that involves sending my S12 off to the smith out of state... not something I'm in the mood to try right now - I imagine the chances of my package going "missing" after I declare it as a firearm are pretty significant right now.

Its that little part that does it. It doesn't work well at all. I just took mine out ages ago. Second, as for shipping. No firearms won't go missing, when you ship them they get an inventory control number and are really careful watched in transit. Just shipped out like 10 guns and everyone go where it was supposed to go.

could you please specify what you mean by "that little part"

If you have to have it, CGW (Cadiz) is the only place that has it and is capable of doing the work. There was some guy on the Saiga 12 forum opting to buy the parts from Cadiz to do it himself. Not sure if Tom Cole is still willing to sell the parts because last I heard, he doesn't want to hassle with all the CS phone calls on how to DIY the install.

BTW, If you send it FedEx 1st or 2nd day, it has a better chance of getting there because those packages are more closely watched. I recall that all the pistol purchases through GB are required to ship that way to the FFL.
