I'll try to go this weekend again to post pics. The XP3 3" worked the best by far, and I found every 3" worked better than it's 2 3/4 counter part. The Hornady 2 3/4 sadly performed the worst with every shot looking like a flyer. I think the 3" do better because they engage closer to the rifling allow the sabot to be more quickly supported. The second best group was with Remmington AccuTip it held 5 shot groups at 100m ranging from 2" to 3", but spead much more at the end of the range @ 250m. At that range I made consistant center mass shots, but the group was large. All shots were made

Well Tony this thing is amazing I must say. I've been shooting it with an AimPoint CompM3, and a Night Force Scope. Using Winchester XP3 @2100fps I hold 1.25-1.5" 5 shot groups @ 100m bench rested. I'm also very sure I could drop damn near any game that got thrown my way!!! I have fired it at 250m and after scope adjustments for 12" high I held 3" 5 shot group!!! A shotgun, a damn shotgun holds groups better than lots of rifles! I like the AimPoint setup the best for most shooting. The folding stock is perfect for getting in and out of the RZR. Thanks, Thomas

I went to Tony with a project I wanted a Saiga 12 with a rifled barrel to fire Sabot Slugs. Well Tony hooked it up and I got what I wanted! I will post pictures up, but first a quick range report. I only got to fire 5 rounds of Winchester XP3 @ 2100fps. I had so much fun and can't wait to shoot it for accuracy and see what this baby really does.

I couldn't go out of town, so I ended up at the local range. I brought Winchester XP3 3" for ammo, and they only let me fire 5 rounds. However they were fired into a thick blue plastic drum filled with water. I didn't get to shoot for accuracy or anything of that sort yet, but fun was covered. The Tromix has a shocking ammount of power, felt great, cycled smooth etc. So, the shake down went well, but I will put it through the paces not this weekend but the following.

Oh yeah I got the email, paid and sent in my FFL info. I have already bought 1000 sabots from different companies. I bought Winchester Elite XP3, Hornady sabots, Remington copper solid and accutips, and a few others. I will give a complete run down on what factory ammo preforms the best, and will also be using my own custom projectiles. Only thing that sucks is 16k psi the plasitc cases well vanish lol brass FTW. The factory loads are around 10k psi, and range from 1800fps to 2100fps. So, if anyone has any ideas on a possible brass parent case let me know. My projectiles are made f

Well guys It should be ready soon! I must say I really can't explain how excited iam. I have a lot of really cool guns, but this is going to be the fucking coolest by far! Tony has out done himself and has put together a absolutly killer weapon that I'm proud to call mine. I'm so fucking pumped woooooooot!!!

As long as the barrel is the proper length it's good to go. For example my Remington 1100 came with a smooth bore, but I bought a rifled barrel for it, and it is still a shot gun. No trouble here, and that is one of the reasons I wanted to have one.

That is pretty out there I must say. However, the whole reason behind this build is to keep this a shot gun, and a non NFA weapon. I wanted a big hard hitting Saiga that was accurate, and more importantly accuracy at distance. With the rifle barrel and sabot slugs I will have a shotgun that is accurate to 200m. I will play around with hand loads and weights etc, and that range may even be increased. Also, this could be a very interesting shotgun for the people who can only hunt with shotguns in their states. For a brush gun this will be ideal, and I may even make a trip to Washington sta

Very clean!!

Well I ordered all of the crap I posted above. I think the 2800fps is a pipe dream for safety related reasons. I have reloaded shot shells before, but I was not going for fps. I have reloaded OO buck shot packed with sawdust to reduce the spread, but again they were only loaded to average high brass levels. I think 2000-2300 is more of a realistic max, but that is no BS for a slug weighing 350-400gr.

yes you read right 2800fps. I don't know how, but I'll look into it. The long-awaited arrival is over. Our BLS-12 Ballistic Sabot is now in stock! It took over a year of prototyping and required the development of our own proprietary resin blend, but we got it right. We are finally ready to unveil our own 12 gauge sabot design. Our ballistic lab is launching Hornady .50 cal XTP pistol bullets (300 gr., 350 gr., & 500 gr.) at ultra-high velocities up to 2800 feet per second. We will also be offering a custom designed, fully non-toxic .50 cal bullet (300 gr.). * Maximum Accuracy - Built

Who knows though I do know where there is a will there is a way. Tony may correct me, but I don't see how that could be easily done. Both the LMT MRP and the Noveski/Vltor MUR are "AR uppers," but they were completly redesigned to be quick change barrel uppers. They are much thinker in weak areas and designed to be what they are from the ground up, they are not just AR uppers you can switch barrels on. I'm not going to lie it would be out of control if at some point Tromix built their own AK from the ground up with that in mind. Then we would have a 100% US made AK, I would call in the TK

And if so, would a hot-swap mean having to build up another handguard/rail assembly around the second barrel? The idea of pop-drop-lock-BANG! out in the field, hopefully without having to re-zero the EOTech, has a certain appeal... I have several LMT MRPs that I can change barrels on by backing out two Allen head screws with a tq wrench. The barrel pulls out the front through the free float tube and then you slide in the new barrel with no loss of zero. Tony is building this for me and we have not discussed quick change barrels at all. He has stated that he tested a system wher

Looks like a go! 12 Gage rifled saiga with NV hogs beware.

I wish there were more available for reloading so I could have exactly what I want. These range from 250gr-385gr
