I thought you needed a special type of barrel to shoot steel shot? Won't it tear up a regular barrel?
-
Here's the slotted flash hider I got for my Saiga-12. I tried to match the slotted barrel shroud I added. I like how it turned out.
Does it have any functionality as a flash hider or muzzle brake or is it just for looks?

I have the from Russia with love GK-01 on my S12, I have not done any real tests, but I will tell you it does make a diff.
When I bump fire without the brake on the muzzle will rise, put the brake on and I get no rise.
And yes I shoot buck shot, slug and bird shot out of the GK-01.
That's crazy. It's seems like shot would be hitting the inside of the brake for sure,especially one that long,but I guess not.

HAHA! (Nelson Muntz voice)

Finally got mine! Added a few extras
Current issue rpk sling
Rpk 74 FH
Md Molot grip
1000m russian rear sight
That thing is bad to the bone dude! I want those handguards. Where did you get that sling? I wonder why they are only importing them in 5.56?

I have been watching a little of Shark Week off and on. I've also been watching Shart Week on CC.

hunting as well. I know some states don't allow hunting with FMJ
Can you legally hunt with 5.45x39? (deer or hogs for instance) I know some states require that hunters use at the very least a .22 caliber. Isn't 5.45x39 technically a .21 caliber? Obviously you wouldn't hunt deer with something like .22LR though. I'm pretty sure that's illegal everywhere because it's considered inhumane.
-
FMJ in this caliber is already designed to tumble and makes a rather nasty wound channel, so really what's the point of HP ammo? (or SP for that matter)

I noticed something on my new Vepr when installing the bg the other day that has me a little concerned. On the front trunnion, there is a line that starts about 2" in, from the rear, and goes to just under where the gas tube starts.
It's hard to tell if it's just a surface scratch or something deeper. I'm hoping to God it's not a crack! My Saigas don't have this in that area. Maybe Molot uses a different machining method that causes that mark on the trunnion. At least I'm hoping it's something like that.
Anyone else's Vepr have this mark on the front trunnion?

I've done a bunch that went easy and then one that was PAIN. Broke two taps in it. First one, I was finally able to break out and the second one I was able to break out as well but it wasn't easy. I could only get about 1/2 a turn before they would bind. I think the drill bit was not the right size. Opened it up a bit larger and re-taped it and it worked fine.
What size did you eventually drill/tap it that worked?
-
You should be able to drill it out and tap larger. Our take a punch and chip it out. They are brittle.
Could I possibly drill it out with a smaller or same size bit? Then,pick up where I left off (so to speak) with a fresh 6/32 tap, so I don't have to go buy a bigger tap and screw?
-
I just snapped a tap on my 5.45, SOB! So, what did you guys do to remove/extract the broken taps?
-
Here's one on a Vepr .308. I'm trying to install it on a Vepr 5.45. I don't know how much difference there is between the two, if any. Of course, the Saiga .308 and 5.45 are a little different.
-
I know there is a way to get this handguard to fit a Vepr. Does anyone know how exactly? Do you use the Vepr factory screw or Tapco screw to attach the front of the handguard to the bottom of the barrel? Any other mods I need to do? Thanks in advance.
-
Racking the bolt a few times seemed to do the trick, It is still very tight though.

Man,this thing is INSANELY stiff ! Is there a special way you have to do it compared to any other AK?

Steel weighs less than lead. When you replace steel with lead the weight increases to keep the same profile. Lowering the grain weight would require the addition of a lighter metal or plastic (like a V-max).
That makes sense. I had forgotten that 7N6 has a mild steel core while the others are lead. (doh!) Also,one would think a round like the V-max would have a higher velocity than something like,say GT. However, the chronos I've seen on YT state otherwise, which I'm not sure why. The V-max got like mid to high 2700's, while the GT got high 2800 to mid 2900.The GT is 1gr. lighter, but that's negligible.
-
Are the Vepr rifles welded in this area also?
-
Has anybody compared GT to 7N6 at 200 yards?
Since 7N6 il lighter (53gr) than GT (59gr), maybe 7N6 doesn't drop as low as GT does.
Unless GT is loaded hotter than 7N6 - which I strongly doubt - it's a simple matter of physics. GT will drop lower, just like Monarch did in my shooting yesterday.
What's up with all this watered down current production 5.45 ammo? Some of it is downright anemic. Also,it seems they all use a heavier bullet than the 7N6 for some reason. I would like to see some offerings in 53 gr. or even lighter, maybe 50 gr.

Interesting tidbit.

I'm looking for a cheap muzzle device to meet 922r on my S-12. Any suggestions? Would a U.S. made muzzle nut/thread protector count? Thanks in advance.

That's strange. It always seemed to me like SG blew through what they had every time it was available.
That's what I was thinking. SG had some in stock I think maybe a few weeks ago and within a matter of days it was GONE. I was tempted to buy some even though I don't currently have a rifle in that caliber.
What x39 HP Ammo Currently Uses 8M3 Bullet?

I know it was the Wolf Military Classic (not WPA) for a while.Then I think it was the Tula. Is that still the case? Anybody know for sure?
