  1. I use my reloads the most. 7/8 oz loads with 18.7 grains of TiteWAD and a Cheddite primer, wad is a claybuster grey wad for 7/8 loads. I barely had to open up my 3 ports on each S12. I have 2 S12's. My guns are not over gassed at all. I can run factory loads and the rear trunion looks the same from 800 rounds ago. Regards Frosty
  2. I really like the MKA. So do not get the wrong idea due to my opinion about the price. I would really like to try one and even own one......or two. To bring this to complete fruition: Spare parts............plenty for years to come. ESPECIALLY..............BOLTS....EXTRACTORS.....FIRING PINS.....BARRELS. I understand that the lower is polymer and the upper is steel. It would suck to have a cracked upper due to slugs and heavy buck use. Mr. Rumore has a picture or two of this thing broken down. It has many many small parts. ALL of these need to be in hand at warranty service.
  3. Used ones I assume. Prices haven't been that low in damn near 10 years. Brand new.......both. Directly from an FFL at a Gunshow. Most people around here pass on them so the prices are low compared to else where. Regards Frosty
  4. **** I agree with what others have said in some of the threads here about the $700 price tag being high. I know people will jump to defend this. I am sorry but it is not worth that much even with all the kinks the S12 has, removed. **** If you have an S12 and have worked on it yourself you damn well know its not that hard. 8 months ago I bought 2 Saiga 12's for the same price as this 1 Turkish shotgun . Current prices for S12's are pure greed due to fear feeding just like AR 15's when Obama was elected. Yes, I would like to get one. I would just be paying for convenience. Lower the
  5. Simple as that.... Who is doing the warranty work? Phone number? Address? Regards Frosty
  6. I ask this because I can get Taiwanese S12 mags for $13.00. I can also get 10 round AGP mags for $29.99 sans shipping. AGP let everybody down by not offering the DIY mag kits anymore. Their site does not offer them anywhere...........typical. Regards Frosty
  7. The more pressure they (ATF) receives about their actions and interpretations of policy. The more they have to answer for what they say. Best Frost
  8. These are the two senators that wrote a letter to the ATF to knock it off with the multiple long gun sales reports. This was seen as an overburden to FFL's. Type in: NRA ILA in a google search and click on that NRA link. Read the letter they wrote and what they used to remind them about the recent Supreme Court rulings. They will probably be able to get something done about the whole "shotgun study" that has everybody upset. This is just an idea and since they may be looking at their budget in the very near future it might be worth while. I know it may seem that this new
  9. Since the new ATF director came in is when it all started. The exact same thing happened once before with another director in the past. All it took was for a few Senators to write a request as to why this was happening in the NICS system. They ignored the request and got their ass spanked for it. Contact: Max Baucus U.S. Senator and Jon Tester U.S. Senator. Let them or their staff know what is going on. These are the two senators that wrote a letter reminding the ATF the multiple long sales extra reports for FFL's was over burdensome and to knock it off. The same could be do
  10. There will be more added by the end of this week. Mike you have some hungry customers. I am personally ordering 10. I love it. He will do well with them when they are released. First in Black.... Then Coyote brown.... Then Olive Drab.... All with a cool logo. Best Frosty
  11. Cook your own food for 8 months. Stop going out to eat. Just buy food and gas and go to work. With the money saved you could get a......... Sten Mk II. Title 2 weapon. Fully automatic with a semi-auto selector. Its in 9 mm. 450 to 550 rounds per minute depending on the ammunition used. It holds 32 rounds in that horizontal magazine. Perfectly legal to own. I did it and will never sell mine. You should look into it. Best Frosty
  12. Hello, It will depend on your experience with different magazines. By your question we are cutting deeply through the trial and error of different magazines. In my experience and in this order..... Russian 5 round magazine that came with the shot gun. This is a base line for all magazines for the Saiga 12. I did have one that was not allowing the follower to smoothly travel through its upward motion. I took it apart and sanded the magazine walls a little and now its perfect. So it goes to illustrate that even these factory magazines do once in a while have an issue. This is a
  13. Is that an MD Arms Molot pistol grip? Best Frosty
  14. Hello, I reload so I used a wad for a shot shell. It fits the bore to an exact fit. Yes, It is soft but it grabbed onto the shavings from drilling and pushed them out. Run a shot gun barrel brush wrapped in a patch cut from an old T-shirt. Put several drops of oil on it and run it through the barrel a few times. Make absolutely sure the barrel is clean before you fire that shot gun. Steel shavings will show NO MERCY to your barrel. Best Frosty
  15. Hello, PSL I know you reload slugs and buckshot. I have been wanting to do this myself. What components do you use? Powder (how much?), Primer, Wads (brand and type), Hulls (whose work best and which to avoid),......etc. Do you Roll crimp or Star crimp? Please go into some detail if you could please. Best Frosty
  16. As soon as Mike releases his double stacks....... Those Russian 8 round magazines are not going to look so tempting........I have never wanted one of those things anyway. I do want Mikes Double Stack Devil. PSL, I would get another MD Arms 20. I am holding back on buying any more magazines until Mike releases his beast to the market. I will get some more of the 5 round Tai 5's and one or two of the Russian 5 rounders but no more than that. Yes, Mike will sell all he makes. He then will make more and then some more again. I will happily support an AMERICAN OWNED AND
  17. No my gun is not over gassed. I tried the lipstick method (used nail polish instead). The 17.5 grn load with 7/8 does not even touch the rear trunnion. Factory 1oz loads do not touch either nor do 1 1/8 loads. Let make it clear I did not open up my ports just to shoot lite loads. I just reload lite loads most of the time. With the right powder, wad, and primer combination I can get my gun to function where the factory stuff would work 98%. Factory loaded ammunition is not always CONSISTENT. That is why you may run into a low powered round or two or more while shooting. That
  18. Not sure why Oleg needs to go take a hike, it's not like he designed the plug or sells them in bulk to make a profit. MikeD and Oleg have completely different business models...MikeD designs a few products, Oleg sells rare and hard to find Russian items. If you think somehow MikeD is a better vendor than RusMilitary you don't really understand what Oleg does. Z I agree they are completely different business models. I just think Oleg's asking price is to high. Its just that simple and thats just the way I look at it, that is all. Best Frosty
  19. I completely agree. Oleg or what ever the hell his name is can go fly a kite. I will stick with Mike. Rock on with MD Arms VPlug . Buy some copper anti seize (high temp) and slather it on the threads of your plug. It will turn when you need to. or Buy a good folding tool like Leatherman and carry it with you on your belt (I do). Pop that sucker out and turn your gas plug. Best Frosty
  20. What powder, wad, hull and primer are you using for that load? Best Frosty
  21. Yes, I completely agree. My "lite" loads do have some oomph to them at the 19.0 grain level with TiteWAD. I only loaded about 50 of them trying to see if my S12's would run with that load of 7/8 oz and the new stock, as it was giving me fits of FTE. It was a test batch that is all. The published data you posted is the same I used to stay within my reloading parameters using TiteWAD. It is now my favorite powder but I would like to try Clays next. Do you have any experience with Clays? You are right the pressure increase is quick and high. I rarely shoot heavy loads of 1 1/4 or eve

    Gas puck

    Hello JC and Welcome to the S12 forum. As far as I can tell there is no "top" or "bottom" to the factory gas puck. I just put it back in the same as it came out. I could see where the carrier piston was making contact (this is normal) with the gas puck and that is the way I have always reassembled my puck into the gas block. You should be able to see a darker side (heavy carbon deposits) of the gas puck. This is where the gas is coming in from the barrel ports. This to me was the front as it is facing the end of the barrel. As far as tips are concerned..... 1. Buy these t
  23. Have you polished everything? Have you used a FACTORY magazine as a baseline for all your function testing? Does it run in bone stock factory condition? I ask this as it all NEEDS to be done to make sure you have ruled out everything before you drill ,........."do the deed". I had personally thought of doing this myself. I think it would be just fine. You could incrementally work your way up to full functionality. Only thing is you would have to go through the entire process for each port or only twice if you drill only two at the beginning. It is mainly how many ti
  24. Good deal, I have looked and thought about getting a buffer for both of my S12's. I seems like a good idea anyway. If it helps then all the better. Anything that will help is always appreciated. I am off to reload some shot shells. I and a few friends are breaking some clays today. Thanks guys. Best Frosty
