  6. what paint to use?

    in Saiga-12

    Posted

    After using rattle can paint, then trying duracoat, then a newer finish called black ice (which turned out to be more of a blued finish then black). I finally sent it off to be cerekoted. Buy once cry once is my advice. Duracoat will eventually wear off as will spraypaint. Find a good guy in your area and suck up the one or two weeks it will take to get done and in the end you will be happy.

     

    Just my 2 cents

  9. Barrel Chop and Threading Difficulty

    in Saiga-12

    Posted

    Hey guys I am considering chopping my barrel down to the legal limit of 18.5" and rethreding using the thread alignment tool and threading die from CSS. Has anyone done this and it is anything more than DIY. I have done many conversions and consider myself pretty handy. I just dont wana get in over my head.

     

    thanks

  12. Ammo That Will Not Deform

    in Saiga-12

    Posted

    I have always kept Federal Powershock OOO buck in mine. Basically 8 9mm pellets in that one, high brass. Every month or so I will rotate the rounds and make sure they will cycle on a full mag and empty chamber. I have kids in the house so I don't feel comfortable with a loaded chamber and the bolt racked back. I have not noticed any major deformation. the top round will flatten out a bit so just make sure you rack all the way back and let the spring do the work. other than that like I said I just rotate the rounds around in the magazine

  16. Round Count

    Hey guys,

     

    I was just curious to how many rounds you have put through your S12s. Mainly looking at longevity of the shotgun after doing many MD20 dumps and 3" Slug shoots.

     

    I am at approx 1500: 70% Federal Bulk with MD20 dumps and the rest High Brass OO and Slugs

  18. DuraCoat, who does this?

    in Saiga-12

    Posted

    DIY Man. It isn't difficult. I have duracoated many guns and I am no professional and the kits give a professional finish. Lauer Weaponry has these kits with Preval Sprayers in it. They work really good. Just rough up the factory paint, degrease and shoot it. If you want something more durable I'd go with either a Moly Resin or Cerekote. Both of those will have to be professionally done. But if you are looking at not spending much the Duracoat kit is the way to go. 30 bucks or so and you are good to go. Just take your time prepping and you will be golden.
