Hello..... hunting season is over and had a fun if not oversuccessful season out here. Tinder-box dry and very hot during our bird seasons. ( Sometimes the temps ranged in the upper seventies during January.) Discovered a few things this season: 1) My S-12 is now my prefered upland bird gun. 2) my four-year old bitch finally began to hunt like her old man 3) I really hate hot weather in January. Would somebody catch me up please? Did the lads finally develop US made 8 or 10 round mags? Did the mythical importer ever appear? What's this about russian made mags being illegal to attach to yo

I've had a warn under my aviator since I'd joined. I used to worry about it but then read somewhere that I'd pushed a wrong button or something when I registered so I've ignored it. Should I be worried? I enjoy the forum and have learned alot about alot of different weapons but tis fall and HUNTING SEASON so therefore thats where I am. In the fields. Killed two praiire chickens with the Black Dragon, but now am hunting turkeys with the old Mossburg. Finally had some luck but have more tags to fill. Hope you return lollygagger!!!

I've been hunting with thw S-12 lately, so the .410 is in the pantry with a mag full of slugs, waiting for quail season.

Make sure that they are Foster-type slugs. DO NOT USE SABOTS. The Saigas are suprisingly accurate for a smooth bore. There are lots of threads here on this topic. Found a good thread: Look in Saiga-12 on Sept.19 Topic like yours started by Maniacjack. Good answers there.

I have one and I LOVE it!!! Also might want to check out Mike's Mausers. I see them at gun shows also, but getting rare. It's my 'I'm gonna f#$%ing kill something' rifle.

Personally, I would spend some quality time with it shooting with iron sights just to get used to the weapon. Espiecally if this is your first rifle. One of the fun things about guns is that not all weapons will shoot the same. When I get a new rifle I like to set up a 10-ring target at about 25 yrds and try to shoot from either a bench rest or prone rest. Remember that not all ammo will shoot the same depending upon projectile weight and type, powder dram and type etc. After I get the sights where I want them, then I move the target out to the range that I think I'll probably do the

Looks really good!!! Learned alot about paint-depth tricks also. Now I have an excuse to get an airbrush. Thanks for sharing.

ROGER THAT ON THE SPRING!!!! It took me half an hour to find it the first time I took one apart Maybe I should clean the shop...

Thanks!!!! I just wanted to insure that I wasn't inadvertantly destroying a fine weapon. Cobra 76 Two is right. The more I shoot it, the better I like it.

I tried to post a crappy picture but to no avail. Anyway when I picked up my spent shells the other day I noticed that there was a dent in the brass casing upon the lip. Should I be concerned? The gun seems to work flawlessly otherwise. Thanks

Good luck to 'yawl' Texicans down there. We will be thinking of you.

The closest thing I ever had was a Browning BPS. (Bottom shell ejector). Damn thing wouln't shoot straight. I've seen it at least three times in the gunshop since I got rid of it during my drinking days...

I'm left-handed. Both of my Saiga shotties perform extremly well in this aspect. No powder burn or sight obstruction. Same goes for the SKS. Can't say the same for other autoloaders!!! Kalishnikovs rule!!!!

I agree with those who suggest the .20 guage. And the dimensions of the Saiga stock seem to be much better for females than other models.

I had the exact experiance with the Wolf vs. Remington ammo. I'm shooting a Chinese SKS with open sights and have killed a doe with a head shot at about 80 yrds. Being of Scottish descent, I'm not a cheap-a$$, just thrifty. I sold my scoped Marlin .30-.30 years ago because I never could get all the rounds in the 10 ring at 100 yrds. (The Mossy slug-gun that I built will do it though) So I believe that it is a matter of balistics. I really like the 7.62X39

Thanks!!!! Boy, they are uglier than I remembered. Definantly need conversion.....

Help! I saw a thread somewhere concerning the new Saiga Imports with pics. But iI was in a hurry and now I lost it.... I'm really stoked about the .30-06 but as I remember they were REALLY UGLY!!!! And I like ugly guns......

Thanks for posting the pics and yessir they are tasty!!! All dark meat make a great gravy. Bvamp they do go poof (unless you head shoot 'em). Limit two a day(Greater chickens-lesser are one a day and they are a smaller bird as their name implies). Going for more this p.m.

Here is my 2.5 ammo story.....Bought the .410 last spring and when I picked it up my FFL dealer told me he thought it would chamber the 2.5" rounds. The only .410 slugs that he carried were Winchester X so I bought a few boxes. After reading and discussing on the forum I discovered that my .410 was the older 3" model, so I was chambering the slugs like a single shot. I took my youngest daughter out for her first shooting lesson and during the day I thought wth I'll just try a loaded mag, worst case scenario would be a jammed weapon. And to my delight the damned 2.5 slugs cycled ju

WELL SAID G.O.B.!!!!! Thanks for posting the Declaration, Wolverine. I always get a thrill when I read it.

I assume this priciple will work for shotties also? If so, I'm late for teal season. As Griz would say: "Hit head with dead carp". I should have thought of that! Thanks!!!!!!!!!!

Wow! What an example of drivel! The last thing that I read like that was the by Marx...or Hitler. Almost incomprehensable. Wherever this came from the drugs MUST be good.

A prairie chicken is a med-size bird (about 2 llbs live weight) native to the high plains. They are relatives of the grouse. They are two sub-species; the Greater found in the eastern two- thirds of the state going north through all of Nebraska and the lesser which is only found in the extreme five southwestern counties in Kansas ( increasingly rare due to habitat destruction.) Unlike pheasent they like to live in grass only and do not fare well in cultivated areas. They live in small family groups in spring and summer; then herd together in larger and larger flocks as the cold decends.

Damn!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think I burned all mine on targets. Ignorance is NOT bliss.
