This past Sunday was one of our local 3-gun matches. I decided to take the Saiga-12 out for it's inaugural competitive spin. Let's just say it rocked. Numerous times I was having to change between bird, buck, and slugs. The mags were wonderful! Recoil was tame and it didn't hiccup. I did have one consistent problem with one AGP mag. For a stage I needed a minimum of 4 slugs. So, instead of the the usual 5 rounder, I used an extra 10rd. mag (just in case). Unfortunately, the slugs were getting hung upon the top of the chamber extension (i.e. the top trunnion extension thingy). That only

Are you saying you see the gas port? =)

Looks like some posts got deleted recently. Anyway, as a repost, I shoot slugs with my 19" about 3" left at 50 yards. I was attempting to drift the rear sight over to the right a bit. Tried a brass punch and small hammer. No movement. I started escalating...moved up to the solid steel punch and a 3-pound sledge...no movement. Any trick to getting the sight to move? Does it move one way easier than the other? Any trick to getting it to move?

I don't have the pictures, but mine looked EXACTLY the same. Same hits in the same places.

Good to hear. Our next multigun is the weekend after July 4th. I need to drift the rear sight slightly, but otherwise...irons baby.

Thanks for the experienced info Sinistral. FYI, I did check my EOTech and rail. It has dings all over it right by where the shells are ejecting. Maybe Ultimak/forward rail is the way to go.

Holy shit, you may have just fixed my FTE problem--I had no idea that could be the problem. I just checked my mount and it's dinged all to hell I have a 3-gun on Sunday. Shit. I need to change my setup tonight and re-zero. Hmmm...You know....I was having issues with some of the slugs not ejecting. Then when I pulled the mount off, no more problems. I figured it was me "limping" it from the higher cheek weld from the bench. I'll have to double check that. And actually....it seemed to only be that way with the slugs...which has a higher bolt speed, higher ejection...causing a rim-in

Thanks for the help. This one appears to be a pinned design. So far, yes, it does appear to be tight, no screws coming loose. I'll redo the screws and swap out the EOTech for a known good one to see if there's a change.

I ended up trying out a Belarus BP-02 AK rail to Weaver mount on my Saiga-12. On top I placed an EOTech. I also had a cheek piece to avoid a "chin weld". Problem was, when I was shooting slugs, even low-recoil ones, the groups were all over the place...something like 12" at random (50 yards) Took off the rail, used the irons, and proceeded to get a 4-shot 3" group. This was my second outing trying the mount. I double checked and made sure all screws were tightened down (still are) and that it took two hands to close the clasp. Speaking with a friend, he remembers some company

Gabe's reload is fine...except it would get me thrown off the range at any of our local events. Muzzle above the level of the berm = no-no/warning/DQ

So at one time, I tried to do my own conversion. It came out "okay" but just okay. Then I looked at it and said...I like Tony's better. Sent it to him with a letter of apology for my butchering. Got the shotgun back and it looked good. Home gunsmithing is not for me!

I've done the same with my 8". Unless you get them up close....it makes for a challenge. I still use the 10 round mag, even though my range only allows 2 shells loaded at a time.

Thanks for the update. I'd REALLY like to get my hands on that. Rock N Lock is SO 1947.... ;P

I do agree they are expensive. But then they ARE running at capacity right now with something like 30 CNC machines. Besides, you get free hat and bottle opener swag! ;P

I've been off the boards for a while. I remember someone mentioning that they were creating a retro-fit magwell that would accomodate both regular factory and AGP mags. What's the status of this? Thanks. Sorry if this has been asked before.
