Hey guys I was at the range today and I had on 2 occasions my AK go full auto on me. I had the 5 round Arsenal Mag in and the one time it fired 2 and the other time 3 rounds in succession. I have the G2 Trigger Group in my Arsenal and was using Brown Bear FMJ. Never had this issue before...has anyone else Jason

Was looking at the XS Big Dot to epoxy over my front bead sight. Looks like the version made for the vented Rib would work best. Any input???

TAC47, I was wondering what I should do about the tuning screw turning itself back out during rapid fire. I was thinking of counting the rotations out till I see threads and dropping some blue loctite on it and screwing it back in. I just don't wana ruin it. Thanks Jason

Congrats man. Welcome to the forum!!

If your gun already cycles low brass out of the box. I'd look at the TAC47 auto plug. I had great experience with it. Took about 1 full turn to tune to my gun and it works great. I have a lot of 8 round mag dumps with mixed federal birdshot, slug and buck. No issues. There is a video on YouTube how to tune it.

Great job Frosty......Did mine a few months ago and it makes a world of difference when tuning with either the gunfixr, md plug, or TAC Auto Plug. Have fun and start stock piling bulk birdshot for those mag dumps J

Hey guys I have recently noticed that the main pin holding the bolt together is loose. As in I can push it through the other side with ease. Does this pose a problem with shooting and the pin being ejected mid cycle. If so what is the fix for this. Thanks guys Jason

Welcome to the forum Caleb!!! Like everyone said there is a ton of information on this forum along with a lot of good experience. I will just say that you def. need to inspect the gas port before you buy. If you are ordering it I know Greg at CSS will inspect it before he sends it off to your FFL. As far as your reliability concerns go. I look at it like this. Out of the 1000 rounds I have put through my Saiga I have had 0 failures with high brass (which I keep in the gun for HD...good quality Federal OOO Buck is what I keep in it) After I added the TAC 47 auto plug and tuned it to my

I was wondering what everyone's estimated round count is in their guns. Thinking back I probably have around 700-800 rounds through mine. Mostly Birdshot but there was a good amount of OOO Buck and Slug through it. I am asking because I am curious to the projected longevity of these guns after you put a few thousand rounds through them. Thanks Jason

Hey guys I recently tuned my new TAC 47 Auto Plug to my Saiga 12. Got it running flawlessly with my MD20 and Federal Bulk. My question is that I just added the Chaos Warthog and I was wondering if the recoil reducing ability would cause the gun to need to be retuned??? Jason

That is just crazy.....10 MD 20's haha. I need to get with the program

Hey guys. I was recently watching a Vid on you tube about cross loading ammo for SHTF scenarios. Pretty good Vid. It's by SafeArmsReview. Anyways I was setting up all my ammo and gear and I was wondering if it would harm the md20 by keeping it loaded 24/7 with some 000 buck? Thanks guys Jason

Hmmm it shouldn't be hanging up with 00 buck on setting 1. Ensure you have either 3 or 4 gas ports. Before drawing any conclusions.

If you are worried about getting a vodka special just take the gas plug out before you buy it and make sure there are 3 or 4 ports there

Surefire 8 round magazine loaded with 8 OOO Buck Federal Powershok. You loose 1 pellet with the 8 count OOO Buck but the OOO size is slightly bigger than a 9mm. So basically an 8 round 9mm burst in a fairly tight pattern. Plus it is fairly inexpensive. I also keep a factory 5 round mag in my dresser with 5 rounds of Brenneke 2 3/4 SF Magnum.....designed specifically for penetration GET SOME!!!

Skitterfish.....Yea it is a fairly inexpensive solid built piece. Great buy IMHO

Lookin' good buddy. Makes me wana start another one!

Don't get discouraged dude....these guns are a "project" as I see them. And that is what makes them badass. Because you can make them into what I think is the most devistating small arm next to the AA12 (which i think is a heaping POS). Just browse the forum and pick everyone's brain here and you'll be fine J

Nice Saiga!! I'd go with the chaos tri rail. It is built like a tank. Fits perfect. And better yet it is currently on sale for 78 bucks. Can't beat it!!

Hey guys, I just wanted to share an experience I had at the range with everyone. So I am at the range tuning my 08 3 port gun to my new TAC 47 auto plug. It went great. I can't rant about this product enough. Mine took about 1 full turn to tune to my gun before it ran Winchester Universal without a hitch (2 8 round mag dumps with Winchester Universal, OO Buck, and Brenneke KO staggered). As I am running my Saiga, 2 different guys approached me regarding the Saiga 12 and that everything they heard was negative (FTF, FTE, etc.). I explained to them the common issues with Saiga 12s (Vodka

Hey guys, I just wanted to post some pics of my finished product (AS OF NOW.......or until the Chaos Nemesis comes out!!!). I'd like to thank everyone for all the advice and suggestions that helped me out toward my build. 2008 3 Port Saiga 12 - Drilled out Ports to 3/32 - Tromix DIY Trigger Guard and FCG - ACE Internal Reciever Block with Folding Mechanism= - Tromix Skeleton Stock - Chaos Tri Rail - Magpul AFG (Many people have mixed opinions on this product but I love it. It allows a more natural grip on the shotgun as opposed to a vertical grip) - Surefire X200 - GEAR Slin

I'm sorry I meant failure to eject. And I never tried it with the regular plug. Also do you mean the federal bulk from walmart that they sell next to the universal being a little higher gassed??

Hey guys, I went out this weekend to tune my new TAC 47 auto plug. It went really well. The plug took about 1 full turn to tighten down the valve before it would work flawlessly with my 8 round Surefire Mag and the factory 5 rounder. I went to the extent to test it with 1 rd Winchester Universal, 1 rd brenneke KO Slug, and 1 round home loaded OO Buck all staggerd and went through 2 mag dumps...no issues. Great product. I went to run the MD 20 with winchester universal and it would hang up every round (FTF). I was curious to if you guys think this is a spring issue (i.e. not enough or to

Hey guys. I just noticed that my Saiga 12 has a small hairline crack/hole on the bolt carrier. The crack is in the path in which the bolt rides and you can see it through the hole that the recoil spring goes through. I noticed this after my conversion. It hasn't seemed to get any larger or effect the gun at all. I avoid shooting any 3" and mostly shoot bulk bird shot and 00 buck and slugs only to sight in and pattern. My question is do you guys think it will be ok or I was thinking of using a bolt and bolt carrier I have from another Saiga that is just laying around to use. The gun probably ha
