I had a Springfield 1911. Loved it. Then I bought a XD40 3" sucompact. It shoots straight, and fits in so many nooks so easily... went ahead and added a set of TRUGLO sights. Dang!

Wahoo! Dig in! These things become an addiction. Sing out if you need anything, ain't many rocket scientists here, But, these guys know Saiga!

+1 on the bend. Keep us posted on the gas issue. sounds to me like port job is due.

I would still vote for him!

I own a mental health and substance abuse treatment center.

Hope all is well. God gives us trials, but he is always with us no matter what.

If I saw dents in my primers I would be a little more than bothered. I might be down right concerned.

So does the Russian puck.

I stay out on the Naval Base in Coranado 3 to 4 times a year! That place rocks! Old Town, the beach, and the food! I have a CTR on the Saiga 12 and a MOE on an AR. To be truthful, I cant tell the difference between the two when I am firing, They are both comfortable and adjust easily. I bought mine from Carolina Shooters Supplies. They hooked me up with the butt and tube. The tube fixed directly to the Saiga 12 without adapters or tang removal.

Definitely the Hogue grip. Don't make changes until you have put some shells through it! Its always better to get a base line. Then make one change at a time. You may not even need a reliability kit. If you aren't getting the results you want, their are other things to look at first (like the gas block and ports.)

I decided to sell my VStar 1300 this year. Too many close calls, and I kinda like the Big Gulp and air conditioning concept while I drive down the road. Weird?!?!?

Tacky Jerk Troglidytes!

Fetchin Fetcher. Mormon Slang describing the Elk that slinked past me at 20 yards on a deer hunt.

I disagree with the Promag not possibly being the problem. As far as I am concerned, the Saiga and the Promag have two different personalities. Work on the Saiga first, make sure its running right. Possible gas port issues, polish and re-profile, etc. That thing should run like a top before trying to tackle the drum. Feeding issues, how the drum fits into the mag well, spring tension... The list goes on for things that maybe an issue, or not for the drum. It maybe (and probably is) the shotgun that needs some love.

The great thing about using bacon grease is that you'll never have to clean the major components again (not that I'm lazy). Just strip it down and let the dogs do the work. When they finish, just reapply bacon grease and you're good to go for the next outing. Don't try this method on small parts though as they are apt to turn up missing. I find great satisfaction in getting at least some work out of the dogs because they're even lazier than me. Now that is a great idea! Lube the machine and Lure in the Coyotes!

Sorry I'm late to the discussion boys! Seems to be some confusion here. I wide are those gas ports? This could make all the difference in the world.

I stand corrected.

The last 4 hole I did took two holes at 5/64 and two at 3/16. Take your time... do one hole at a time. And have fun tinkering! OOPs! probably ought to use the 3/16 just to dig out rivets. My holes are 3/32 and 5/64. My apologize for the confusion.

Thats so Dang funny! That is exactly something I would do!

Agreed! Take it easy, and take your time. Somethings are worth getting right the first time. This is one of them.

I'm a big fan of the shows. Hit the Cirque show. It's pretty dang cool.

+1 on the Vortex.

What's the point of launching a golf ball? Besides losing it of course.
