The AA12 isn't based on the AR though, as far as I am aware?

What's wrong with the standard rear sling attachment point?

My bet, is that 80% of the misfeeds reported on the MKA1919 are people puting 2-3/4 shells in the 3 inch mag.

I really enjoy my Akdal, but deep down inside, in a part of me I won’t admit exists, whenever I'm shooting it, I feel like I'm playing with a toy. Maybe it’s something to do with the plastic? Now that the AR design is public domain, there are tons of US companies making endless varieties of AR based rifles. There are a ton of great choices out there for just about any use you could think of in an AR platform ......... other than shotguns. With my very limited (read zero) understanding of what it takes to make a new AR in a new caliber, I really can’t understand why a US company hasn't ju

As an owner of both, if I were told I had only $700 to spend on the Akdal or a S12, and the Zombie apocalypse was coming, I'd personally choose the Akdal. Yes I know people will think that's crazy, but it just feels better to me, I can't help but feeling like an S12 unmodified is made from a tin can; if I can't afford to customize the S12, its the Akdal I'd chose. My 2 cents.

The MKA 1919 is 12ga only. Does not come in 410. The 410 was another (discontinued) gun imported by the same company but manufactured by a different company.

Stupid question: Do I need to have this installed on all my magazines to be 922 compliant or is just one magazine enough?

Thanks, but I think that is just the distributor, not the actual manufacturer.

Anyone else notice that akdalarms.com has been offline the last few days? I have it bookmarked as the official Akdal website. Makes me wonder.

--EDIT-- --I'll check when I get home... it might be. YES IT IS I haven't shot enough rounds with it mounted yet to be able to give a long term prediction on how it will hold up.

So at least till 266 they are not NATO spec rails. Does yours have the diamond and ruby?

Do those have a short or long brass head?

Many of the threads I've read on the MKA 1919 have reported FTE's when shooting light loads. However, in my personal expereince the FTE's I've seen have more of a correlation to the length of the brass head than to the load or velocity. For example, in this image: That type of shell, with a fairly long brass head, I've yet to have a a single FTE with, regardless of load. But when I use shells with a short brass head that looks more like this image: Then I tend to get FTE's, about 2 per 5 round magazine. Have any of the rest of you had the same experience? Als

Mine also was out of spec, I have gun #166. My gun also has the diamond and ruby Fire/Safe markers. I've heard that the new batch had in spec top rail and no longer has the diamond and ruby (which I actually kind of like tbh), but I don't know what gun number qualifies as a "second batch" gun. It must be higher than 166. Also for the OP, see this thread: http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?/topic/70901-scope-mount/

It wasnt that hard to get it to fit. Just make sure you have the lever release as open as you can get it, then you'll have to use a lot of pressure, but not so much that you break anything. It also depends on where you want it. If you want it mounted further back or forward you might be able to simply slide it on. I didn't try that though. If you are not able to get it on this way, or you want to lower the chance of breaking the scope mount, I think you could simply use a wrench and disassemble the scope quick release, line it up on the mount bar where you want it, then reassemble the
