  1. I'm no lawyer, but his site looks legit at first, but when you dig further, all the cases he refers to seem to have an axe to grind... and don't seem to have any bearing on reality... anything that infowars will get behind is suspect at best
  2. Thanks MD, always enjoy watching these- this time I'll participate 4777 I'll buy one if I don't win, will that ruin my chances? (from everything I know of MD's character, it won't... just trying to be funny) search for "777" didn't work, found dup manually
  3. it depends on the round you're using, and the purpose of the rifle- I agree with putting a folding stock on it, then your overall length would be similar to an M4 (since they can't have a folding stock, only collaspable).. the standard 55gr FMJ round doesn't tumble/fragment well (which is what makes it more lethal) when below 2700fps. With an M4 (14.5" barrel), this happens at around 60 yards! 20" is where the diminishing returns start- each inch beyond 20 only adds about 40-45fps, until about 26", then it really drops off (unless you're using slow powder on reloads) If you're usin
  4. I saw the youtube videos on how to do this.. and the use of silicone just made me shake my head- no wonder they were not accurate! the slug won't come free from the wad cleanly I'd trim the wad a bit, and use a roll crimp tool... or a mold that doesn't require the wad, and trim the wings off it entirely.. just thinkin' out loud..
  5. Mike, Don't let this guy get you down- you can't please everybody- I am in on the pre-order, much the same situation he described, and I think your email was professional, I saw it as an effort to communicate what's going on, and greatly appreciated it... I think offering all these drums on gunbroker as a chance to get one earlier is really reaching out to provide solutions to the delay... with a pre-order, there could always be delays... I deal with production delays on networking equipment at work all the time- I'm also in on a pre-order for a DRO (for a mill) that has been delayed bec
  6. Who are these made by? internal diameter? There were some copies on the market that were too small, and went boom... if these are made in USA, and measure .729" or greater ID, I'll take 'em...
  7. It is widely considered to be very hard. If the rounds acted like they do in a rifle mag, it would be easy. But you need some kind of mechanism to organize the rims as they go into the single stack. I've thought about this- but haven't tried to prototype anything yet... a big issue is that the Saiga-12 is only wide enough for a single column at the receiver- so you have to get the shells to converge, much like a pistol mag.. most rifle mags really don't do this- each round winds up on one side or the other at the top of the mag.. conceptually, I think if you keep the shells tilt
  8. could it just be ABS or PVC pipe with slots cut in it? looks very round, so that was my first thought...
  9. I'm about 2 hours from Denver (Penrose)- and have to order my parts still... but let me know if you don't find anyone closer.. the advantage to where I'm at is testing right after finishing the work, since I'm out in the country Have you converted one before? no, I'm in the same category as yourself- except I have my unconverted Saiga-12 in hand...

  11. ajaxgrips.com will take an order- but I emailed them, and they're NOT in stock... will be about 2 weeks before they get the next shipment That being said, Ajaxgrips has the best price I've seen that can be ordered... there a a few other sites listing them around $25, but they list as backordered, and are not accepting orders... I love to see $30 become the new standard price for 10-round Saiga-12 mags, I have a hard time paying $50 for 'em.. no offense to those buying/selling at that price- I believe in a free market- I just won't pay that much, which is my freedom to NOT buy.. b
  12. I wouldn't say I'm worried- but the Saiga-12 is actually my first AK-based weapon... since I saw them on the web, I was fascinated by the idea- take the most reliable, rugged, tough, albeit less that ideally accurate platform & make it into a semi-auto shotgun, a group of firearms that has been plauged with reliability problems- the semi-auto shotgun.... I think it's an awesome shotgun- wish I'd found out about them a long time ago (especially when I see what the old prices were) now that I know what to look for, I'm not worried at all- I should be able to see if it's hammering the r
  13. it's gone- just got email back from the seller..
  14. I took a closer look, and it's not as bad as I remember- it turns 1/3 turn past 1, before it bottoms out (on the outside edge of the gas plug, like it should), then rotates back to 1... looking at the rear trunnion, the finish is worn off, but there is no damage to the metal... so I feel better- will keep an eye on it. remember- just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're NOT out to get you...
  15. I'll give you the obvious answer- yes, I screwed it in all the way, then backed it to setting 1... and perhaps that's where the difference is- mine ALMOST makes it back to 1 a few turns after the detent starts catching, but not quite- so I have to go past 2, and back to 1... (threads not tapped as deep as some others???) I'll look closer to see what's bottoming when I screw in the gas block.. it's not worn, I've got less than 100 rounds thru it... most of those have been Federal game loads (1oz #6 shot) anyone have a rating on the spring? (I don't have a stack of Saigas to compare to)
  16. I think mine is probably overgassed- it chucks low-brass, 1oz federals (game loads, lighter than mega-packs) about 3-4 feet on setting 1... I managed o get a FTE firing from the hip on setting one with this ammo.. haven't tried winchester low brass, but sounds like I may want to do something- I've run some 3" nitrosteel thru it, and some 2.75" 00 buck... don't notice any damage, so maybe it's right on the edge of overgassing... maybe I'll try a buffer & gunfixr's gas plug... Thanks...
  17. Forums can scare people away if you focus on the problems that people post about- rule of thumb is that for every problem found, there are hundreds, maybe thousands of satisfied customers that never need help... my experience has been like yours... I TRIED to get my Saiga-12 go FTE using Federal game load- the bottom of the barrel, $4.67 for a 25-round box, only 1 ounce of #7 shot.. I finally did it by shooting from the hip on setting #1... no matter what I did, it always cycles on #2, always cycled on #1 with a firm grip on the shoulder... but shooting from the hip took just enoug
  18. better for what? the pattern should be tighter with the 24" barrel, and you theoretically should get better velocity, but IMHO, the 19" with threaded barrel is the way to go.
  19. if those are the 10-rounders, I'll take 3... where is this gun store?
  20. I've also seen a left-handed cocking AR15 upper (for those that don't like the charging handle setup) I'm one of the odd ones out- I'm left-eye dominate, but right handed (almost ambi)... so I shoot lefty to use my dominate eye- so a right-side safety and charging handle feel like they're made for me... I'd agree that using a sling properly, especially prone is a good reason for right-hand controls for a righty... but on a 12-gauge, I don't use the sling much that way- if I need to be that steady, I'll be using something a bit more accurate...
  21. do they take 3" shells? NM, found a post where testing was done with 3" shells..
