this is one mean-looking MFer. so how does this thing shoot? compared to Lee 1oz. slugs any advantage of one over the other.

so how did your range trip go with the new "birdslugs"? how's the accuracy (relatively as slugs go). i haven't gotten into doing mine. got a little busy busy lately.

this just about sums it all. "in this one...the force is strong."

thanks for clearing that up. on to the melter it goes then. LOL

The money savings are undeniable. And like you I'd like to nail down putting buckshot in these birdshells but casting buckshot from what I've seen is more laborious and slower than slugs. Although many here buy buckshot it's pricey and shipping lead will only get more expensive over time. I'm going to obtain a Lee 00 mold and try my hand at it. I don't know how available reloading supplies are in the PI but that's the learning curve I'm climbing now. With a LA2 you'll be able to do this too. i am hoping my supply of lead wont run dry for quite some time. a live near a fishing c

this is an excellent topic. i've been wanting to do this "birdslug" experiment too for quite sometime now. birdshots are 2/3 less than the price of slugs and shotgun shells dont come cheap here in my country (about 57 cents as against 90 cents per shell). birdshot to "OO" buck conversion sounds good too. this thread has been very informative indeed. so much so, i ordered 1 oz. slug mold and a Lee load all 2 just to be able to recrimp my future birdslugs. cheers.

been awhile since i last logged in to this forum due to busy sked. i just wanted to share my new high power rifle (my first). i dont think this is legal there in the US, but lucky for us, its all good here in the Philippines. This is a Norinco T97A short assault rifle, which we coined as T97C. 12.5 inch barrel 1:7 twist. uses standard stanag/nato mags and 5.56x45 SS109 (preferred) or M193 ammo. note the odd placement of the selector switch near the butt plate of the rifle. safe, semi-auto, full auto and TRI-BURST. yeah! couldn't find a sling for

talk about trusting Rusmilitary, i gave them my credit card number and all, out came the automatically-generated electronic receipt. three days later, still no response from them as to status of my order so i contact them via email. they told me they do not accept credit card payments from the Philippines because most of the fraudulent credit card transactions come from the EAST. So i ask them how can i buy from them and they told me to transfer the amount via Western Union under Oleg's name. Talk about trust. Bottom line though, Oleg delivered, albeit after over 3 months of agonizing wai

What kind of trigger guard is that? Who did the conversion and AK100 install? @Evlblkwpnz: you are looking at my bone-stock S12. I'm from the Philippines so i believe its "Stock Russian S12". the trigger guard is stock too. I just wrapped it in the same material (tennis racket grip tape) which i used to wrap the stock pistol grip with. found the stock grip to be too skinny and the trigger guard too sharp in the edges so i wrapped them all up with this felt-leather-like material - Third World style baby.

you might consider this. or this: personally, i use stock sights on mine and slap on the red dot when using slugs past 50 yards.

me thinks double stack S12 mag development is dead. been quite some time now. i would have a hard time getting my hands on one anyway so its just fine with me. I'll just enjoy my two Izzy 8's for now. I can wait for those double stacks if and when they ever materialize.

so very true! the Saiga-12 just looks more robust and menacing with that factory 8-rounder attached. The S12 seems like its been designed to look best with the 8-rounder attached rather than the 5-rounder that comes with it from the factory. i also just got my two brand spanking new 8-rounders from Oleg and if it weren't for him, I'd still be stuck with my lone factory 5-rounder. had to wait 3 months for my pre-paid order but good things come to those who wait in my case. BTW, i noticed i can squeeze in 9 rounds into my Izzy 8-rounders but can only load them with the bolt held op

mine also came with a picatinny rail mount. if you got the one without, you need to get a hold of one. it sits below the burris unit and connected via two screws as far as i can tell.

thank God these trivial laws dont apply to where i live. we can put anything we like, long barrel, short barrel, as long as the serial numbers match and we're pretty much GTG. oh but i forgot, we dont have aftermarket parts here so we tend to stay pretty much stock.

the 8-rounders from rusmil just went out of stock today. but i just received my pre-order from over three months back just yesterday and all i can say is, Christmas came early this year for me.
