Does anyone know how well these fit on a Saiga ? With an Ultimak?

I've been to a couple of shotgun steel matches, and a two gun match, but that is about all I see around here (Long Island,NY). Does anyone know of anything within a couple of hours down here? Thanks BTW Is this more appropriate in Regional?

You said "touching" and "little tit" I love this place

Good call. That is what is starting to happen! Damn. Ok fixed it. But when it is in the fire position, when the tit is below the receiver, the area above the tit is resting on the reciever. Is that ok? it seems like it has too rest there. And it has scuffed the paint there.

Here are the pics! You can see wear on the edge of the bolt carrier behind the handle, only 100 rds have gone thru it - if that. I compared the safety with another one and the other one seems to be more pointy at the far right edge of it. I'm not explaining that well. Where the bolt handle hits the safety. I also noticed that the edge of the bolt carrier, right behind the handle, protrudes out more on the S12 than on the Saiga 762x39. It is that part that is first hitting the safety, pushing it out a bit, and then down. But no longer since I bent it in. On the bottom of

I took it as he has a gun that where the safety malfunctions and when he pulls the charging handle the safety is pushed down out of the way rather than stopping the charging handle. This safety is a very simple design, so its hard to imagine one being shaped improperly to cause this, but we still haven't seen any pictures of the actual offender. Yes Sir, you are right. I took y'all advice and bent it. It is a little too tight for my liking right now, so I'm going to go back to it. Don't want to get tunnel vision and screw it up. I know it's commie steel and I won't:)

I would, think about it like this, in a defense situation your adrenaline is going to be pumping like crazy, your perception of time will slow down and your strength will be multiplied. In this situation, unless you are really drunk, it wouldn't matter if the safety took 150 lbs of force to move it, you'd damn near rip the thing off... You're right. I haven't worked the S12 under stress (competition) or with gloves yet, and thinking about it, it probably wouldn't be that bad, but I just think of "gloves, shaking hand, thumb slipping off of small lip, panic!!!" Guess that is why they sa

Thanks bro, I understand So "fix it" seems to be the consensus so far

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. It clicks into place. When I say it slides more easily then other Saigas, I mean just by a little. It still needs force to move it. you're right about a safety and I imagine it is intended to keep the bolt carrier forward, and not do what it is doing.

New stock S12. With the intention of using as a home defense gun but will be using it for steel matches and such. Background: Serial #H09....... This particular safety is "looser" -disengages a little easier and slides easier then on other S12's and Saiga 762x39 Problem: When the safety is engaged, if I pull the bolt carrier/support back, it forces the safety down. I looked at another NIB S12 and it didn't have this problem. It locks up - the bolt carrier coming back can't push the safety down. So I was thinking about it and in order for the safety to "unintentionally" b
