No saiga's but great movie.

This looks like a great product and a real improvement to our saiga 12s
Stupid question time.
1. do you have to modify the magazine? I'm guessing yes.
2. Can I still use the 20 rd MD drum?

I haven't "split any skulls" with it yet, but we'll see if I ever get the chance. On a side note, my Mom was attacked by a pit bull mix yesterday and had to stay overnight in the hospital. Got back today. If I had been there when she was attacked and I had my Saiga, I could tell you how the FSB worked on a skull (assuming there was anything left after unloading into the dog). She's recovering now, but her leg and ankle got tore up pretty bad. Won't be able to put any weight on it for probably a week I'm thinking.
Oh, by the way....... When I was first testing the FSB out, I initially left the original bead in place and lowered the FSB's post below the shotgun's point of aim with the existing sights. This allowed me to use the original sights for shot, then I could line up the bead and the post for longer range shots with slugs. Like this:
It worked pretty well actually.

Clever...I like that idea.

I paid $694 for my S12, stock mag and a 8 round surefire mag with tax and everything. So yes I think it's a good deal.

I have found out since I first posted this, that you can get almost any antibiotic you need on ebay-

again, I strongly suggest you do NOT self diagnose and self medicate.

Many of you may be like me, and want to have some medical supplies on hand in case of an emergency when regular medical services are not available. In the civil war, most injured soldiers died of infection. A good general purpose antibiotic would be good to have on hand.
I recently had a problem with an infection and my Doctor prescribed Metronidazole, a effective generic antibiotic.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metronidazole
I got the same problem again, so I wanted to see if I could get the medication over the counter without paying for a Dr visit. Sadly it is prescription only. But after some research I found that the exact medication is used to treat fish and is sold without prescription at pet supply stores.

Now, I would never take any prescription medicine without a Dr advice, so I made another appointment.
I also do NOT advise people self diagnosing and self medicating themselves. that is not the purpose of this post.
I did however, order some of these to have on hand in a SHTF situation in case my fish got sick.
In no way do I promise or imply that these are safe for use by you or your family.

No personal direct experience with the MD covers, but usually the carbon added to make the plastic adds UV protection and some flexibility. My experience is clear plastics break down and become brittle faster. MD Arms may have added a UV protector to their clear covers, I don't know.
Unless it was left outside for a long period, that wouldn't even be a factor.
I started to order the black for that reason, but then I thought about being able to see how many shells was left would be nice, so I got the smoked.

Try holding the butt solid against a tree or post. I had the same problem when I added a pistol grip on my shotgun. I was not holding it secure enough and the gun was moving back as fast as the bolt.
I discovered by problem by pure luck, but someone found it in a trouble shooting guide.
-
that wasnt an S12 it shot rifle ammo not shotgun ammo i thought the same till i saw what it was shooting
He switches back and forth, you can see the shotgun shells on a bandoleer over his shoulder.
LOTs of AKs. The 12 has a metal frame folding stock.
EDIT: You are correct, they have all the weapons used listed here.
-
Watched the Movie "District 9" won't tell you too much, but one of the main characters carries a 12, with a folding stock.
He can shoot about 40 rounds without reloading, LOL
Pretty good Movie, kinda graphic, so know that if you don't like extreme blood and Violence.

Not including the little nubs that the screws go into, it's about 7" in diameter. The nubs stick out about 3/8" on the sides, so with those, I suppose you're looking at arount 7.75", nub to nub.
Corbin
Teh nubs is what rubs.

Was the coolest thing I have ever got to shoot!! Thanks a lot Mike for bringing it over. Oh yeah, my shoulder feels like meat
Saweeet!

Try this , it sounds stupid and I'll get flamed by some know it all, but hold the butt against a tree or some other solid object when you fire.
I know it gas operated, should not make a difference, but it does.

These guys on Glock talk all appear to be talking about unconverted saigas. Not everyone out there is as resourcefull as you'll find on this board.
Mine is unconverted. I pull the trigger, it goes bang.

Just change their words around--- swap "Glock" with "Saiga", etc, and read some of their posts:

The way I read 922r, it does not kick in until you go over 5 rounds any way. DYODD

Good post, I wanted add that if my saiga did have a feed or eject failure, I could clear it in about or only slightly more time than it takes to pump the action on a pump.
BTW, I have never had a failure with high brass ammo.
I think it is ironic that some are critical of the saiga's plastic stock, when a glock is largely plastic itself.
Obviously the bashers are just not that knowledgeable. Go to any competition or tactical training class and see how well pump shotguns fair against S12's.It's not even close, you can deliver more rounds, more accurately. If you have to reload the performance gap is even more obvious.
Only a fool would take a 6 shot pump gun over a 8 shot semiauto in a gunfight.
The better autoloaders out there are fine weapons. However, reloading is still a weak point and my S12 has a simple, robust action as opposed to some that have o-rings, or complicated mechanisms.
Reliability is paramount, of course, and while some have had to tweak their vodka specials, once the bugs are worked out S12's run as well as any autoloader on the market.
Perhaps I'm just lucky, but mine has run flawlessly from day one.
When I run mine all the pump guys & tube fed autoloaders dudes shake their heads that I can engage so many targets, so fast.

I agree, they will not enforce 922r unless your are a dealer selling non compliant weapons, or come on contact with the ATF or law enforcement for other reasons.
In either case, they will most likely not count the puck if it's in their favor, since they are after you.
So why risk your freedom on a part that is in a gray area when there are other parts which we know definably count towards 922r compliance.
IMHO, keep the stock puck and use parts where there are no gray areas to make your gun 922r compliant.
Until somebody can show me an ATF letter stating that the puck is the countable part I'm not banking on it. Yes, theoretically it should be, but no one has ever asked for a official determination from them. They could just as easily be counting the carrier extension as the piston as in a normal AK, since they are not counting it as an op rod.Well until the BATFE makes a determination on which one they count, non of us can be sure. And yes, they have been asked but no definative answer given. So life goes on. When is the last time the BATFE enforced 922R? With only 4 parts to replace to be "compliant", the puck/tappet should be of little concern.
My modestly converted S-12 has 7 counted U.S. parts not including the puck and pistol grip.
I think what should be determined is what these damn things are....pucks....pistons......or tappets??
[/hijack]
I hate to speak for sinners (AKA BATFE), but they mainly enforce 922R as a pile on charge in conjuction with actually crimes. For example; if you rob a bank, you will get charged for the bank robbery and anything else that they can tag you with to include 922R. A 922R violation charge alone is not practicle to enforce, but comply to be on the safe side.

Two kinds of people society doesn't like. Snitches and child molesters....Just saying. not sure what you got out dropping a dime on a fellow member who was just trying to help.
Deal posting has been forbidden by The Juggernaut, I reported your post, just to let him know to close it. -
I agree on the most part, but in the Army we only had to shoot out to 300 meters.
BTW, the stock saiga sites are so close to each other, the gun would be a lot more accurate with the front site near the muzzle.
On my mossberg 500, which I can shoot plenty accurate enough, I just use the original bead site. Works great for me. In the Marines I used irons out to 500m with beat-to-hell / near-smooth-bore M16A2s...no problem. Bling optics aren't of that much interest to me. The good ones are expensive as hell (ACOG etc) and I'd rather just have more guns / ammo / loading stuff than cool optics.
As with all things, 'to each their own'. I like iron sights...
