    The stellar reputation in the S-12 world came from a really big run they did with soft polymer. From what I hear it was not expected to be so soft. The spring steel feed lips would collapse the mouth of the mag causing excessive friction against both sides of a shell and that would result in a slow feed. The ones out now are harder and MANY say they're quite reliable, but a lot of people back a few years ago sent defective mags in, only to get more defective mags, so it kinda became a bit epic, almost to the level of Meme status. They did real good with their drums though. Sure, there

    From a mechanical standpoint, at the very MOST, we're talking a touch of welding to add steel, and a touch of milling.. It's the taking the time to test and whatnot that gets me. Dude's dialed in his process. He's likely tried all there is to try, and screwed up every way you can already. It's just how these things tend to go. As far as I see right now, there's 3 really great lightweight subcompact carry pieces out there that are good to go out of the box with no break in. The S&W Bodyguard .380, Ruger LC-9 & the XD-S .45. I just so happen to have 9mm as my primary cartridge so I g

    Okay, let me start by saying I absolutely LOVE my Ruger LC-9. It's never had an operational issue (FTF/FTE) yet, it came with a dialed in Lasermax laser, & I have 7+1 Winchester Ranger-T +P+ rounds that are highly concealable even in shorts & a t-shirt. That being said... What the fuck's up with that trigger pull??? First off, the trigger lands right on the most useless part of the middle section of my index finger... You know, that sweet-spot by the knuckle that doesn't bend in nearly as far as the rest of your finger... Add to that ithe trigger pull's ridiculously long,

    Ahhh the good ol' days of the cold war, when we were taught is was a bad thing that the soviets could stop any citizen and demand to see "their papers" without cause... Or how it was so evil that the soviets would indefinitely detain people without charge, and how the soviets were wrong for their warrantless wire taps, paramilitary police, travel restrictions, fixed elections, etc.....

    No worries. Every time I come across an extractor that binds & barely moves like the situation pictured above, I wonder how many guys have gone batshit-crazy drilling a bazillion huge ports to fight the FTE issue when it was just a bound up extractor the whole time.

    The S-12 extractor spring is a standard AK extractor spring, re-purposed into use for the S-12.The reason some are ridiculously strong while others are reasonable, is because as with all things S-12, factory "tolerances" (lol) are all over the place. Unit to unit, the depth of the spring cavity in the extractor, the depth of the extractor's cavity in the bolt head, and the recess where the spring sits in the extractor's cavity in the bolt head can all be varied, at times substantially. If they didn't use such a strong spring, the units with all 3 holes as deep as they can get would be too wea

    Pretty boy. Newfoundlands are one of my favorite breeds.This last February I picked up Kazmier's new bro-dog, a White German Shepherd named "Buckshot". This is him at 5 weeks; At 7 weeks, he was nearly 17 Lbs, which was the largest of his litter and 3 Lbs heavier than his next heaviest Sibling. He tested mostly 2's & 3's on the Valhard Temperament test, so he'll be a good security dog, but won't eat my niece, which I think might make future holiday gatherings rather awkward.. At first, Kazmier was very jealous, but then my friend Jason's Black Shepherd let out a deep belly growl

    I fired some federal high brass game loads. It kinda likes those. It launches 3" magnum hulls into the stratosphere, but likes those too out of the stick mags. I'm pretty sure everything would be "tits" with the MD-20 if I just did GlassBolt on the bolt, but I'm trying everything else first like micro-adjustments to the feed angle, to try to get the drums 100% without doing GlassBolt. My main issue is testing. I have to drive 50 miles out to test, and although beautiful, the last 2 times it was in the high 30's or low 40's with driving rain, which makes it rather hard to focus while doing

    I know what you mean about the extractor slot... When these bitches FTE & jam a spent shell in the side there.... errrrrrrr! lol
  11. Paulyski
    Are you holding onto the mag like that to maintain the feed angle? Have you gotten a full 20 out yet? Have you done a bolt mod, or any gas work yet?

    Ask forum member SaigaPower how the LED Lenser he's running has held up. It's a white laser projected through a lenze and it makes a very sharp, defined beam of light.The LED Lenser is actually illegal to use around roadways in Germany because it's painful when shined in someone's eyes (being a laser and all) When in the focused mode, if mounted right, it will pretty much outline your shot pattern, so it's kind of a triple threat. It hurts to look at so one wins there, it helps shot placement (with a scattergun), and it's a great LONG lasting light. If SaigaPower says it's held up well over

    Thanks. The drum ran same as the first time. It had a hard time on the first 5 shots then ran out 14. I'm making another adjustment to the kit, then I'm going to try the drum at 2.5 rotations and see how that goes. I'm trying to hold off on doing GlassBolt or any mods to the gun whatsoever other than removing the magwell and installing the kit.
  14. Paulyski
    He's correct. It's not regulated. It's just always wide open, and the puc doesn't get a running start before smacking the shit out of the op-rod.
  15. Paulyski
    Thanks. It's damn cold in the winter though. The Vepr's safety's pissing me off though. I've accidentally hit that back tab several times, partially engaging it. I may just switch it. (and no, I'm not trading it)

    Unsure. I don't purchase promag magazines. I think they're shit. I've been burnt by the company too many times. If someone wants one tested, I'll do it if they send me one to test. Mag development is a science.Maybe there will be drums for them in the future, maybe not. Right now, there's hardly over 1000 V-12's in the country. Until there's a sizable amount more, I seriously doubt anybody will spend the tens of thousands of dollars to bring an MD-20 type drum to the V-12 W/ Magwell market. Additionally, which magwell do you make it fit? The polymer or the steel? They're different

    Jack Travers of JT engineering offers the service. Yes. The Mag, undersized ports, and a weak load can all cause it. If it's the mag, it's a slow feed. If it's the ports then it's a short stroke, if it's a weak load, it's a short stroke. Regardless, the feed foot of the bolt comes into contact with the base of the shell before it's fully raised in the mag and this causes the nose of the shell to kick upward at which point it can catch the edge of the hood like that. If you desire to experience the joys of the anomaly, just purchase a ProMag stick mag.

    ... being the first to extend the sight plane with H&K sights, making the first rifled barrel ... Do you really think that placing H&K rear sight to standard AK dust cover is very innovative ? Rifled barrel instead of paradox that can be change to chock/FH/МВ is also innovative? Some guys like full rifled barrels for purpose built guns. Dude's the one that made it happen.Being as he's a small company and he gets stuff done that nobody else does, I'd say it's pretty cool. He's one of the few people i know who can build bad-ass guns out of raw steel With the H&K on a st

    I've seen Tony's work up close & held it in my hands. When it comes to innovations, and the small details like his SRT trigger with tuned pretravel & overtravel limiters, the addition to keep the safety from going up too far, innovating the first Vertical chargers, being the first to ever profile a bolt, being the first to ever make an S-12 SBS the RIGHT way by shortening the gas system, making one of the first US made Pucs, being the first to extend the sight plane with H&K sights, making the first rifled barrel work etc... Well, I'd say he has earned his title as The Godfather

    Well, I'm guessing you haven't tried to run an MD-20 in the Vepr-12 yet, have ya'? Gonna need a little lovin' to run the real weak stuff with the added spring pressure pressing the shells against the hexagonal bolt as it rotates then extracts over them. Here's a clip of testing a brand new V-12 with the MD-20. So far as I know it's the only Vepr-12 in the world thus far to ever run the MD-20. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9n9xdgaH2M My apologies for the shitty video, it was a long day testing 2 guns, and I'm shooting in the dark, in a cloud at the top of a hill with a good 40mph
  22. Paulyski
    No, it does not. I was manually actuating the V-12's factory BHO to load drums by pushing the button on the underside by the mag release. A CSS BHO works in the gun with no permanent mods to the gun as well.
  23. Paulyski
    Were you shooting with it or hand cycling?If shooting, what type and length of loads were you running?
  24. Paulyski
    Sorry long night working. Just awoke. I thought they were already out? Anyhow, I'm sure they'll still sell very well. The comp guys really like the SGM 12's & magwells. Also yes, you can insert mags on a closed bolt. Not FULL drums though. it's just like loading the S-12. Like I said in the video though, the gun (my prototype gun at least) will need a touch of tuning to get it to run the cheap-ass winchester & federal bulk pack crap. I'll be going over everything and re-testing. It'll be a flawless system by the time it runs. My bro John, a world class gunsmith at

    I do like the idea of the Magwell, but I like the idea of a drummed up 12 gauge more. My personal collection is all about interchangeability. My intermediate rifles are all .39's and can run the same mags, my pistols all run 9mm Winchester Ranger Talon +P+, my shotguns are all 12 gauges and I spent so much on my drums & russian Rock & locks for the S-12 that it doesn't make sense to spend a grand more for reliable mags, and if the S ever hit the F, not being able to share mags with others close to me who I've armed. My rationale for owning several firearms & my fair share of ammo
