[Shot saiga for the first time-ready for conversion?]

Thanks for the input!

 

Im going to be placing an order either tomorrow or tuesday. Do the AGP or ACE folders have a decent recoil pad? Are they just higher quality parts? I don't mind spending a little extra money for quality.

 

The only remaining questions I have is what else would you guys consider nessicary or great to have with a conversion? I dont really feel a need for a gunfixer plug, as was said above. I have shot the primary 2 types of ammo I plan on using without hitch. Also, shooting with the stock folded, is a forearm grip needed for accurate shooting? What good rails/grips would you guys recommend? I intend on keeping the stock sights if there is a decent rail available that would enable that.

19" threaded. I plan on buying one of carolinashootersupply's conversion kits, with tromix fcg, tromix diy, tapco folding stock and saw grip, along with 3 agp 10 rounders. On that subject, does anyone have any experience with the tapco folding stock? How is it ergonomically?

So I bought my saiga 12 3 port 2 weeks ago, and finally got the chance to do some shooting. There arent many ranges around here and I live in city limits, but fortunately I know quite a few "country folk". Anyway.

 

I put 25 remington 2 3/4 00 buck through it on gas setting 1 without an issue. Tried running Federal bulk 2 3/4 7.5 shot and could feed 3 before FTE on setting 1. On setting 2, I ran 200 shells through it without issue except one failure to feed, and I think that was operator error. Didn't take long to get her sighted in, and shot accurately. And yes, my shoulder hurts like "poo".

 

The snake population is now under control on my friends land.

 

So given the performance of my saiga, is it safe to assume that she's ready for conversion without worrying about voiding warranty? Thanks for any input!
