  1. Thanks everybody. The next thing I plan on doing is opening up my gas ports. I currently have 3

    Just out of curiosity, have you fired it yet? You didn't mention whether you had or not. Before you do anything to the gas ports, fire the weapon with various ammunition types (buck, slug, birdshot) to see if it's even necessary. If it isn't, you'll save save yourself a lot of time and aggravation, not to mention avoid possibly damaging your S-12. A thought...

  2. Wondering if you got your loads worked up and tested? I'm thinking about casting some OO buck for plinking and 3 gun matches. Would like a soft load that will cycle through a saiga 12. Also looking at the Lee mold. Is it working for you as far as economy and reloading time?

    See the 12 ga. pet reload (read reply #1 at your own risk!!) thread.

  3. I just grab the bottom of the drum. I shoot 00 Buck, and the recoil isn't that bad where it will fly out of your hand. the problem I would see with a VG, is that you would have to reach around the drum to grab onto the VG, which is a very awkward position. unless you make a VG that is like 2 feet long so you can grab it from under the drum.

     

    Extendable Harris bipod???

  4. IWI the idea of the screw is to be situated towards the op rod and adjusted so that the puck doesn't move at all when the wpn is in battery. If this is the case, the gas pressure should be considerably greater than with any other puck. That, and less possibility of deformation resulting from the operation cycle.

     

     

  5. Something to keep in mind: one 00 pellet is .33"--about the same as a .32 caliber handgun projectile. I'm not sure, but I would imagine the average velocity is on a par with the .32 Magnum. Now, multiply that by anywhere between 9 and 15. That's a lot of energy for two 1/2" panels of sheetrock to withstand ( the term Epic Fail comes to mind). I did look at the picture of Mr. Camacho. Yes, it looks like he lost an eye. The defender was probably using <#6 birdshot. Had she been using BB size or larger, the perp would most likely be deceased, even with the partial load that he did take. JMO.

  6. The only sabot slugs for use with a smoothbore that I'm aware of are the BRI-type slug (it was bought out by Winchester or Federal) and the Sauvestre BFS. The latter is made in France. so availability here (US) is limited, at best.
