  1. My favorite S12 build is the one sitting next to me right now. If someone else’s Saiga is your favorite build, it’s time to get motivated to square yours away. That being said, I do like that mini saiga 12 that evlutionz makes. That thing looks like it weighs 2 pounds.

  2. If you think you can keep your cool, load the first 2 shots with a less-lethal round. Tell him to "sit the hell down and fut the shuck up!" If you get good results, call it good. If not, give him the rest. Its much easier to enjoy the triumph of stopping the intrusion when you didn't actually have to kill anyone. Just my 2 cents.

  3. 10 rounds of Remington Premier Nitro Sporting Clay Target Loads shot below the belt is surprisingly disabling. Regardless, 5 to 10 shots in his direction will keep the bad guy from moving around and earn him a helicopter ride to the trauma center. He will probably live. I haven't shot my drywall with it obviously but I'm pretty sure collateral damage will be minuscule.

  4. The railed is the easiest way to to go, by all means avoid any barrel attachments of course. Ive found my pack makes a better support than any bipod I used but thats just me.

     

    why avoid the barrel attachment option? I went with the harris barrel attachment and it seems fine. That swivel on the handguard was a piece of garbage and that composite rail looked uber cheap

  5. I read this post regarding the S12 on another forum, (LATOC):

     

    "Also if stored with the mag inserted you must lock the bolt open. As the upward mag spring pressure will deform the top shell as the mag spring presses it against the closed bolt. The deformed top round may not feed if stored with mag inserted, bolt closed."

     

    I want to know if this problem is indeed what operators are experiencing? Or, are you indeed storing your S12 with the bolt held open?

    I store mine with mag inserted and bolt held open. Deformity of the rounds depends on so many things that I choose not to even have that be a possibility.

     

    +1... also racking it as you exit the bedroom usually solves the problem without firing a shot. Even a strung-out junkie knows what that sound means.

  6. I cant remember the last time... or if I have ever started a topic myself before.... but this was crazy. In hindsight I should have snapped a photo for you guys and I should have looked at the ports... oh well:

     

    I walked into the local gunshow that was going on this weekend in my city. I made my way to the right of the front door of the pavilion about twenty feet and saw a Factory s12 with 19 " threader barrel.... for $900.

     

    I just about choked on my breakfast burrito. When I found my composure I continued on my adventure... and there were no other Saigas of any caliber to be found... but I did see this:

  7. Electromuffs for me

     

    +1. I also use the howard leight impact sport electronic earmuffs pictured below... like some of the other guys stated above. Its nice to be able to hear everything... especially because the outdoor range is 1 mile from the prison. Shoot anyone in orange and ask questions later. Its good practice anyway.

  8. I am new here and have finaly decided to buy a Saiga12. But I have been debating with myself if i should convert one myself or just buy one already done. I was just really wondering if there are any benefits to buying a full converted one (any additional changes they might do) when compared to a home conversion?

     

    Thanks:)

     

    You have much reading to do on here. There is a thread about "why you should convert" under the saiga 12 section. However, the most important reason is simply because those naughty democrats may make it so you wont be able to later.

  9. I think its safe to say that you can say goodbye to high capacity mags (Sh!t I better call magpul tomorrow :eek: ) and on another note I think its too costly to ask everyone to turn in guns. They wont get them all and it will just end up being a huge waste of time and money with the economy the way it is. They will just grandfather us all in. However, I do smell the possibility of fines and fees instead... but even that may be more of a hassle than its worth.
