I'm satisfied my 12 can get the job done inside 75 yds. Here's a 50 yd slug group with lousy factory sights and cheap bulk Federal slugs. The one flier was my error. (small holes are my daughter's with .22)

Here's the converted version of my S-12 with maple foregrip, PG and stock. The other one's my 223. I haven't decided what to make for the foregrip for it yet. 7.62 is up next....going all walnut with that one.

I just finished my conversion this morning. Already did my .223 and it works great. For the S-12, everything hand cycles correctly. I loaded up my AGP 10 rounder tonight with Federal 1-1/8 birdshot and started firing. First shell fires and ejects fine, and the next one feeds correctly, but when I pull the trigger again, nothing happens. I pull the bolt back and eject an unfired shell, then the same thing happens again. Feeding by hand, the action "cocks" well before there is sufficient room for a shell to be ejected, but when firing it seems to cycle without cocking. How can this

hands down that is the most beautiful thing I have seen all day!!!!! Did you make that?? Yes. Made stock and foregrip. PG and replacement stock are nearly complete, and then I'll do the easy part--the actual conversion.

Here's my soon-to-be converted 12. The wood stock definitely makes a big improvement in handling. Post-conversion it will still have same foregrip with matching stock/PG

Here's my 12. I finally got to shoot it a couple of weeks ago after getting it back from GCW fixing the ports. Much better! Now that it's functional, I thought it deserved some pic's. I'm getting ready to convert it once I finish the proper furniture. The keyhole stock was a prototype to see if I could get away without converting it. Even though it handled much better than stock, after converting my .223, the 12 is definitely next. I'll leave the foregrip alone--I like the feel of it.

Probably a dumb question.....doesn't velocity correlate to accuracy?

I saw a 20" 7.62 Saiga today at my local shop ($399 not too bad). I think I want the 16" version instead, but I'm wondering about accuracy. Any real difference out to 100yds? I'm new to the board and the Saiga world--just got my S12 in December. Mr Cole at CGW is working to remove the effects of fetal alcohol syndrome. My shottie was born with port defects. I searched thoroughly and couldn't find a barrel length discussion, but I'm sure I missed it.
