  1. After almost 27 years with a pair of Rocky 800 gram Thinsulate leather upper rubber bottom packs the rubber finally gave out. I just purchased another pair of Rocky's hoping they'll prove themselves like the last pair. This pair is Rocky Blizzardstalker Pro Waterproof 1200G. Less bulky than the old pair, but more insulated, and much better ankle support. If they last half as long and are as warm as my last pair of Rocky's I will be sold for life.

    I wanted to ask if the Saiga 12 is able to accept and fire a manually dropped round in the chamber without using a magazine to feed the round? It's okay to do this for standard tube fed shotguns. I'd like to know if anyone has tried this and whether their extractor was okay afterward.

    From competition use, we sometimes need to load and fire just one round and it would be good to know if this shotgun can handle this tactic. Thanks in advance for your comments.   

    It's referred to as "Combat Loading", and yes it works fine in an S12. However, without a BHO here are extra steps that would behoove the use of another shotgun action.

  3. What are you referring to as "choke"? The choke is on the end of the barrel. I'm assuming you are speaking of the gas plug, because that is what regulates the gas going into the gas block. The TAC-47 Autoplug may be worth searching for.

     

    You're correct that 1/2 setting on the factory gas plug may beat up the rear trunnion if left on "2" while shooting full power loads (high brass). The TAC-47 Autoplug does a very good job regulation the gas going into he gas block no matter what load you are shooting.

  4. I picked it out, though. $159 at WallyWorld. Stevens 320 six shot pump. Imported by Savage and made in the P.R.C. which would explain the price point. It's pretty much a Winchester 1300 clone. I figured I have enough items for HD/SD but could use a good game-getter, and since I didn't have a pump shotgun I asked for this. She's a keeper BTW.

    I got into launching big chunks of soft lead....

    I'm chasing " Hollywood" quiet, with enough power to knock down a whitetail out to 75 yards.  Biggest obstacle for me is the drop. 

    Heavy, slow bullets hit hard. 250 grain .45 colt is one of my favorite bullets to shoot. The 26" barrel is 3MOA accurate at 100 yards and hits about 3.5" high at 50 yards. This is a really fun gun to shoot but a PITA to clean.

  6. On President Trump's last day in office my wife, out of the blue said, "You better go get that gun before you can't." I didn't realize that she even knew I had been pining for one. Three hours later and we're walking in the door with this...

    It's a NY Compliant Ruger PC Carbine in 9MM model 19101. The stock end is 20 3/4" and the barrel end is 16 1/4" when taken down. With the butt spacers (adjustable) as I have it set up it's 35 3/8" overall.

     

    Rang report: Because of my astigmatism I replaced the red dot with an old Simmons Deerfield 2.5 power fixed crosshair scope that I had in storage. I see the illuminated dot as an oval and it drives me nuts. 147gr HPs drop fast beyond 50 yards, but the 125 gr. bullets in the picture give me about 3 MOA 10 shot groups at 100 yards. I'm very pleased with that for a 9mm carbine. Round count is at 120 right now and the way ammo and components prices have skyrocketed I'm being stingy. I was fortunate enough to score a thousand Berry's Preferred Plated 9mm 115 gr RN at the first of the year. I haven't shot enough of them to let you know, yet.
