Debatable... we have very strict rules when it comes to carry.

Man I envy you! If I were to walk outside with my saiga and just stand on my front lawn I would be arrested and have at least the saiga confiscated if not all my guns. Guess the second amendment is only a right if you live in the right place.....

I shot my S12 at an indoor range today and it was actually quieter than my glock 20 (10mm) which I shot right after.

This is true. I live in Hawaii and I have both a 12 round and a 20 round drum for my Saiga 12. The only state laws that limit shotguns here is an 18" minimum barrel length. The 10 round limit is for magazines that can be readily inserted into a pistol. Possession of over 10 round pistol mags is a misdemeanor unless they are inserted into a pistol in which case the crime becomes a felony.

I have a 2011 with the plastic thread protector. I checked the gas ports and I actually have three but it still won't cycle low brass ammo on the #2 setting. It will get really close to ejecting the shell then jams. On setting one it won't even push the carrier back far enough to jam. It just slides the empty back into the chamber. It will cycle high brass, buck and slugs just fine though. I am curious about swapping the puck and plug though. Has anyone done this and had their gun start cycling low brass without other modifications? What other mods would you guys recommend to be able to cycle
