I'm not blaming you for posting if that's the impression you got. It is an unusal condition indeed and I would like to hear more on it. Not sure what low recoil buck your using but some of it is even weaker than bulk pack birdshot. For example the Winchester Ranger 8 pellet. You said you have a 2 port gun, what is your barrel length? I know the 24inch guns have 2 (larger) ports now but thought they cycled the low brass good due to the extra barrel length. Have a few of the 2 port 24in but haven't tried one yet. I know the old three (smaller) port 24inch never gave me a bit of trouble wi

I saw you said the factory plug. Everyone's free to grind on what they choose, I'm just trying to help prevent people from screwing something up especially when it isn't going to help, due to bad information. Care to post a pic of your plug? I just don't see how your factory plug could have been covering up even close to half the opening let alone all of it. The factory plug isn't long enough to cover up all the opening, if it did it would need a smaller slant for the 1 setting... If what your saying is true that would mean there was no slant at all and that it was longer than standard...

Z, It sound like your gun may not have been broke in when using the gunfixer. I can tell you by the design of the manually adjusted Tac plug that it did not increase your cycling power over the gunfixer. In fact it took away from it... There is more detail to why other places on the forum so I won't repeat it but I do promise you what I say is true... There is no possible way the Tac manual plug increased your cycling power over the gunfixer. If you find the info I mentioned it will label out exaxtly why. I did discuss this in a thread with Tac and they couldn't comment on the subject..

aslyguy, I am not sure what is going on. I have never had a report like this and I can't explain what is causing it. It doesn't make any sence though. The only way I could see this happening is if the port in the plug was undersized which I am willing to bet is not because we visually inspect all the parts as they are produced, again while deburring, and again after finishing when we package them. I just don't see one slipping by. On top of that it wouldn't be just one. If a port was small that would mean it was an issue with the cutting tool and it would not be just one plug. We would

dbrunette, please read above for a better explanation. By grinding your factory plug you didn't increase your gas flow... You only increased the size of your gas chamber. The increase with the factory plug was probably not enough to worry about though because the factroy plug already makes for a large chamber... That is how the V-Plug increases the impulse with low brass, because the V-Plug decreases the chamber size... The port in the gas block is about 4 times the surface area of the combined barrel ports. The only way you could increase flow is if the plug was blocking over 75% of th

Didnt think of trying that, installed per md instuction sheet that came with the plug. I will give that a try. Im happy with the plug either way. Thanks If you installed per our instruction you did it the only right way there is. No disrepect is meant by this to anyone but we highly test all our items. This isn't an item that was thrown into production and left for the consumer to figure out the flaws, sadly like many other items released by some. If there was a better way to install our V-Plug we would have known about it prior... Besides it sounds like your plug is already working ex

You are correct that no plug will fix an under gassed condition. But I have found some guns aren't under gassed and just very rough and the polishing and tweaking will fix that condition. Too many people go straight to the port when that isn't the problem a lot of times. If it isn't the problem and you open your ports up when the real problem is resolved through polishing and break in you now have an over gassed gun... You should ALWAYS polish up before enlaging ports... I do feel that the true benift of the V-Plug and Gunfixer is to decrease gas flow for high power ammos. But both do

JROD, The "3" setting on the V-Plug is pretty equivelent to the "1" setting on the factory plug. Go to our site and view the comparison pics. You will use the 1 and 2 setting on the V-Plug for more potent ammos such as some bucks, slugs, and 3 inch.

Sorry it took me so long... Above in post #305 are the winners! I figured all the winners with the exception of one number, 0075. The number can't be searched the same way as the others. I know before people have searched the number with a different program and if one of those that know how can help me determine the winner for number 0075 I will send them the same items as the winners! If someone does please make sure it is the closest number regardless if it is over or under 0075. The next time we run a game we will exclude numbers 001 - 099 to pervent the issue... All the winners have

This is the land of Wallmart! I want "cheapish stuff" . Still doesn't address why they went from $360 to $ 80.00 on sale, if you don't mind taking it in the ass and smiling about it so be it, I prefer not to praise the guy who just fucked me because there were no other players in the market when his drum came out. When did selling a product become such a Nobel endeavor, those vendors that make products for the S12 do so for one reason and one reason only....to make money! As a consumer I expect that the product to be of good quality and sold at a fair price. I think Promag has made a great pro

Post edited to show winners and their numbers! Congrats! I hope everyone had a great Christmas! Here are the numbers... Generated at random.org. I haven't searched the winners yet but will hopefully do it today. Plretty busy here today as it is our first day back so we might not get to it. Also make sure noone edits there post after these numbers are posted...

Your close enough to the cut off that I'll let you in...

I'll take them and give you $200. Email me your payment instruction to info@mdarms.com. The guns will make perfect ornaments for the shops Christmas tree!!! SWEET! Been wanting to find a few for the tree at home. This is the mother load! Few for home and a bunch on the shop tree and the rest on my shop desk! PERFECT! I see the MK19. I'l post a pic of it next to our full size one... Maybe the M2HB also.

Andy, That is actually a 4 position plug, not 3. It is the Gunfixer plug. The 1 setting actually is 2 settings: +1 and 1-. The Gunfixer and the V-Plug are the only two plugs available that increase the cycling power with low power ammo. But with both plugs the increase is very small. Some people can eject rounds that they couldn't before once installing either plug and it isn't going to hurt you any thats for sure. But in my opinion even those that report such likely still have a very borderline gun even with the new plug. I am guessing the only thing it would take to have problems aga

Merry Christmas from MD Arms! We thought it was time for Part 6 of "Want to play a game?" for the holidays!!!!!!!!!!! 10 give aways - of 1 - V-Plug and 1 - MD Arms, US made, Izhmash style flash hider to each winner. This is an accurate copy of the current Izhmash Saiga-12 flash hider. Accurate meaning it has both sets of tool slots. One set up front that will accept your factory tool that came with your gun and the second set in the rear in the accurate and correct factory location. Also being US made they count as a 922 compliant part. These are available to order on our sit

You guys should ask around on what we had on our full auto saiga-12 at the pumpkin shoot this past weekend... We are gearing up production now. The aluminum cover might be alright for the rifles but I wouldn't want it for a 12ga for a few different reasons... And a simple bolt on version for the 12ga is going to be a big problem for them as well... Won't be long and everyone will have a hinged, railed, dustcover on their 12ga if they want it... I also know of another company that is releasing a hinged cover for the AK rifles. It has a steel cover and a one peice rail and will be cheaper

It can't be patented. The concept is nothing different from any other pressure regulator in hundreds of applications... If your refering to my patent pending on the double stack... It is new and never done the way I have done it. You bet I'm protecting it. Communism is not good, your right. But if you look at Communist China... That is all they do, steal designs... And my patent will not eliminate competion in the mag market, just the double stack market... You truly don't think everyone should be able to just copy my hard work and discover do you? Many have tried and failed at the s

It is no pissing match... You won't explain because you can't. What are the exact rounds you claim the GF wont cycle and how are they jamming? How is your plug fixing the problem. Should be a simple answer if you have the answers. Are you saying you don't have to back up your claims? I don't think that will go over to well. Your customers aren't proof of anything. Like I and others have said, someone that doesn't know how something works claiming it works doesn't prove anything. For people in the know the proof is otherwise. And everything is math... If you were confident in your de

What are you referring to as being made apparent? That Tac47s claim of their adjustable plug are bogus...

I've not been a member of the forum for very long (and I own 3 MD ARMS products for my S12). I don't know of any past grudges, grievances etc...... But such attacks without even testing a product is suprising. Why would a business member (with a large following) word his comments in such a malicious manner? Saiga 12 popularity is growing, which means more business for aftermarket product. I would say, a decent percentage of the new owners know as little as I do about the gun (NEWBIES). If a brand new forum member comes along and doesnt know the difference between your product and others.....I

Like I said, the Auto Tac is far simpler than one of those regs ). The point about SHTF is valid. If I was only going to use high brass and I wanted the best reliability possible then I would use a fixed plug. What if your "fixed plug" caused parts to break in your gun from over gassing. You would be screwed huh...
