  3. Auto Plug with MD Booster Puck

    in Saiga-12

    Posted

    I am sure the OP feels a lot better after seeing your Trunion compared to his. His is still new.

     

    You are right.... it does make me feel a bit better. I just want to get longevity out of the gun and I can already tell S12s take way more abuse as compared to an AK rifle.

    This is my first experience with an S12 so I'm still trying to sort things out a bit. I was just comparing the way the S12 Trunion looked as compared to any of my AKs. But I guess I’m learning you simply can’t compare the two.

    I will definitely remove the Booster Puck and put the original Puck back in… unless someone has alternative suggestions?

    Thanks again for all the feedback fellas!

    Historically, I never ran recoil buffers on any of my AK variants but it actually may be in order on this Shotgun. Generally speaking... it looks like S12s kind of take a beating... a recoil buffer may be a good idea in this case.

     

    Aren't there a few recoil buffers to choose from? Which recoil buffer do you guys run typically?

     

    Thanks again fellas!

    I will post a pic of the Trunion. I should have snapped a shot during my inspection after the range this past weekend. I’ll post a pic. The front corners of the channel where the recoil spring locks into has kind of gotten a burr on each inside corner from the carrier slamming against it. And the rear of the Trunion looks all marred and marked up from the Carrier slamming against it.

     

    I’ll post a pic tonight.

     

    I really appreciate the help and all of the suggestions fellas!!! Much appreciated.

  7. Auto Plug with MD Booster Puck

    Thanks Fellas. I knew you guys would know. The reason the booster puck is in there with the Auto Plug is… that is how I got the gun when it came back from C&S Metall Werkes. Matt had the Booster Puck in there with the factory plug and it was cycling low brass on “#2” great… not really on “#1” though. I just hated having to turn that plug back and forth to cycle different loads. And I liked the idea of being able to fill the mags with all different loads… that’s fun. So I put the Auto Plug on but I never took the Booster Puck out. And I must say… it was cycling everything great… I just noticed the slugs and Buckshot were really ejecting out of the gun extremely far.

     

    Damn… now I’m bummed. I know AK’s can take beatings but I’m just getting started with this gun. I sure hope I haven’t put too much of a beatin’ on the gun this early on.

     

    Because of the low recoil on S12’s I must have put… idk… maybe 500 slugs and 00 shot through the gun so far in this configuration. You guys think I may have caused any permanent damage to the internals of the gun? Or do you think I’m ok?

     

    Dag… bummed out.

     

    Guys just don’t really know how much fun S12’s are until you really get in to shooting one!!!! Right now this gun is my favorite gun to shoot!

     

    I’d be bummed if I put a hurtin’ on the gun so early in the game. I’m not sure it’s even broken in yet! I’d hate to have damaged it.

     

    Thanks fellas!

    Hey Fellas,

     

    I'm a long time AK guy but got my first S12 last year. Did some decent mods to the bolt and some other things... runs pretty good. It runs all low brass with the MD Booster Puck. But I always just hated having to make that adjustment on the plug between loads, so I bought an Auto plug.

     

    I should say... I had to really turn the adjustment screw on the auto plug a bunch of times to get the low brass to cycle... it seems to be screwed in almost as far as it goes. No need for loctite thats how far down its screwed. Ran it with the MD Booster Puck.

     

    Low brass started cycling.

     

    Then I started mixing in high brass loads. Of course I noticed a big difference in ejection. But I really noticed a BIG difference in ejecting. All of the heavier loads were really launching out of the gun... High and far.

     

    Is that normal for this set up? I'm sure there have been plenty of others here who have used a similar set up with these two products... no?

     

    My worry is abnormal wear and tear on the gun because i fell in love with shooting it! I have been inspecting the gun after use... and to me... (not being a Saiga 12 guy really) it seems like the rear trunion takes a beating. However, that may be normal... I'm not sure... thats why I'm asking. The dust cover still seems to fit tightly but that bolt carrier sure does seem like it's beating the crap out of the rear trunion when I look at it. I have 9 AK builds of varying origins and none of the rears look beat up like the S12 looks... and the gun is relatively new. However, this may be normal for S12's.

     

    So basically... I'm running an Auto Plug with a Booster Buck and see some pretty strong ejections with High Brass and the rear trunnion looks pretty marked up. Am I Ok? Or should I make some changes?

     

    Thank you in advance for any tips you guys offer... Thank you.

  9. Something Other than Circle 10's

    in Saiga .223

    Posted

    I know there are a lot of posts regarding mags but it's kind of hard to read through everything and decipher who has bullet guides and who doesnt. My Saiga .223 is being fully converted by Rifle Dynamics as we speak. It will have a bullet guide and will of course accept the Circle 10's. I'm looking for an alternative because I live in NJ and I can't have anything higher than 15 but I hate 10 rounders. I like blocking or pinning 20 rounders but I was hoping to find from you guys what metal mags are worth buying. They are hard to find... but will Norinco 84S .223 mags work? If you can find them they actually made a 15 round magazine which would be perfect. Is anyone running these chinese mags in their Arsenal 5.56 or converted 5.56 Saiga? Any other options? Metal 20 rounders are cool because I can block them. Does anyone know of any that work for sure? Thanks fellas

  10. Newbie Question

    Don't use that thing... I've heard horror stories. Some guys have had real close calls with that device... not cool. For instance, one guy said he fired a shot and that piece flew straight up into the air like 30 feet. He said it was a scary sight.

  14. SGL24 Nude Barrel

    in Saiga 7.62 X 39

    Posted

    Hello,

     

    I'm a Saiga Newbie and I have a SGL24-61 7.62 which was bought with a nude barrel. No brake at all on this one... I live in NJ and that was the only way to buy one here unfortunately. BUT... now that I have it... I can add an AK74 style brake and pin it down. This is what I'm working on. I wanted to start a new thread as to not confuse myself with slight variations of the same rifle others may be discussing at the 7.62 area of the forum. I'll post a link to my specific Front Sight Block.

     

    My question is... does anyone know if there is thread underneath this specific Saiga FSB? If so, what type of thread would it be?

     

    My link

     

    Thanks a lot fellas...
