I laughed so damn hard I think I hurt myself... ohhh this captures it sooooo well. Been there, done that, got the "This match Will beat you like a rented Mule T Shirt" Enjoy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twEz_iakd1I IPSC_GUY SIERRA II ALPHA

Here is my run through the dark house. We were just "testing" as it were. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmPit4gCy2s&feature=autoplay&list=HL1311455222&index=2&playnext=2 IPSC_GUY SIERRA II ALPHA

Hummmmmmm let me think about that one, it would be really neat to just shoot a stage after dark, but that could make for an exceptionally long day... IPSC_GUY SIERRA II ALPHA

That was well worth the price of admission! I had a great time and that stage will be talked about for years to come! Thanks Iain for all your hard work! You were there, Holy Cow which squad were you in? I wish I had known, I always like sayin hello to Saiga 12 forum members. If ya thought that stage was cool, just wait, this was a learning experience using night vision in this setting for us. Once I figured out how to get each person set up in an efficient manner the process went along fairly smoothly. NOW, we are planning more. I am thinking something the size of an Ironman stage

YOU had a Spare in your trunk ALSO ?!?!?!?!? no, I was talkin about the guy from Seattle. He had a Spare R&R Saiga in his trunk as well HOLY COW ! ! ! Also I "BELIEVE" that it was YOUR camera that failed start recording as the video-grapher desperately mashed the record button repeatedly... IPSC_GUY SIERRA II ALPHA

OHHHH I hear yeah on the poly choke... unfortunately it is silver soldered on after... We shortened the barrel... yeah I screwed myself there. However as long as I set the poly choke and don't touch it I am getting 3 to 5 inch groups at 60 yards. With a Remington reduced recoil slug I can get under 3 inches. problem is it won't runt he gun on anything but gas setting 3 DAMN IT ! ! ! Anyone know where you can get a replacement barrel LOL? IPSC_GUY SIERRA II ALPHA

Oh yeah and one guy had a SPARE R&R Saiga in his trunk... Forgot that part. IPSC_GUY SIERRA II ALPHA

Well I just got back from the Ironman this year and on my squad of 10, 8 were running Saiga 12s and of that 7 were R&R guns. I am running the R&R Mag well with R&R converted Surefire mags and the left side charging handle so mine has some R&R goodness in it. All in all the R&R Saiga was WELL represented ! ! ! IPSC_GUY SIERRA II ALPHA

Hey all, What kind of accuracy are you guys getting out of your Saiga 12s? Also what round and choke combo are you using? I am struggling with a Poly Choke and the best I have gotten out of it with a reduced recoil Remington load is about 3.5 inches at 50 yards (3 shot group). Any one have any recommendations? IPSC_GUY SIERRA II ALPHA

I am guessing that the thought here is to get an Ammo that is for serious defense use and specifically long term storage, loaded in the magazines? I like the idea and I would be in for a couple of boxes in 00 buck or number 4 Buck and slugs as well. I have been thinking of looking into getting some brass cases from the Cowboy Action Cats for just such an application. I hope this comes to fruition. IPSC_GUY SIERRA II ALPHA

THAT WAS EXACTLY what I was thinking of doing with the AGP mag well. I could get the mag in each time but it was not a positive thing like with the R&R mag well. The problem is, with the AGP mags there is a screw boss on the front of the AGP mags. Your onto something there but you might have to make a provision in your "guide" for that screw boss. I like the way your thinking, something to cover that lip of the forward edge of the mag opening in the receiver mag hole created by the gap in the front of the magwell. The R&R Mag well on the other hand, inside front edge, (on mine) act

Alas the mag well takes the gun into a new dimension of being usable, it REALLY does. The difference is just night and day. The left side charging handle, also an evolutionary step forward. Once you pick one up a run it you will look at the un-modded Saiga as truly pedestrian. SORRY but it is true. That being said I have a JT Travers first gen mag well (actually a couple of them and a a bunch of modded AGP mags. I have gone to the R&R mag well with the Surefire mags to go with it. All I can say is OHHHH BUDDY ! ! ! Doug knows what I am talking about. IPSC_GUY SIERRA II ALP

Ok that helps as I am gonna take it all apart anyway to paint my mag well to match the rest of the gun. I was wondering how it came apart. IPSC_GUY SIERRA II ALPHA

Holy Crap this thing is long. Has anyone shortened theirs? Mine sticks so far back I have to move my trigger finger around it to get it in the trigger guard. I see a shortening and slip on button of some sort in the future. IPSC_GUY SIERRA II ALPHA

I gotta go with VERA as well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXccNHpB9k4 IPSC_GUY SIERRA II ALPHA

2382 for me ! ! ! Thanks, IPSC_GUY SIERRA II ALPHA

I have the exact same constraints at my firing range.... which is why I finally decided to sell my S-20 and opt for a Saiga rifle. zenmetsu -- If you found yourself surprised by the amount of lead shavings that you removed from your barrel using the tornado brush after shooting slugs, I can't help but to wonder how many forum members here DON'T thoroughly clean their shotgun barrels using a tornado brush (because there really is no other best way to remove those lead slug deposits from the barrel). Ahhhhh that would be me... I usually just run a bore snake through mine a coupl

Good on Ya for shooting the Ironman and tell your father he is hard core for coming out as well. By the Third morning of getting up at O-dark Thirty I was Tired. I normally work nights and having to shift from going to bed after midnight and getting up when ever to going to bed at 2300 and getting up early is OHHHHHHHHHHH so much fun. What major issues were you having with both the rifle and your Saiga? My experience with the Ironman is that the Saiga gas port area and plug must be cleaned EVERY NIGHT with out fail. The huge amount of gas (and lead) will seal ya up tight if left unattended

Try looking at a black firearm with NV and you will understand why folks choose other colors. Go FDE all the way. It is my favorite color for my firearms. Once I get some time, I will be using KG on my S17. I did mine in a Tan of my own creation. I am traveling at the moment so I don't have pics of it to post but i think it looks outstanding. On the concern of a FDE weapon in a heavily green enviroment, FDE is a great base for other colors added to break up its's outine. Also FDE does look quite differnt when viewed by a NVD. The FDE seems to not absorb so much light thereby

I just got the results to open and DUDE ! ! ! you beat Beven Grams ! ! ! Holy Cow plus in overall you were way ahead of Bob Novack and Travis Gibson and a WHOLE slew of others. I dream about being near the top... --------SIGH--------- Someday and tens of thousands of rounds later... Yeah Squad seven was Saiga heavy. Again Tell fred for all his help with mine. Nothing like going into a big match like this and having Super Saiga Gunsmiths right in your own squad. IPSC_GUY SIERRA II ALPHA

Yer Quite welcome. Pay back for kindness from one of your fellow 7th Armored Brigade Soldiers in the First Gulf War. Now lets see what your Saiga morphs into. I gotta agree that was indeed one of the funnest things I have ever shot in any Three gun match. I hope Sam dreams up some more stuff like that. The belt fed 240 Golf at the end was a REALLY nice touch that didn't have to be there. I am sure that cost Sam a small fortune. The stage did provide one of the funniest moments in the whole match. Sam yelled at one of our squad walking up to the stage to hurry up and run down the

It was nice to have met you guys and all the help keeping the Saiga running. Saiga 12s were very well represented this year. You cats are great to shoot with, I gotta get down to Texas and see ya'alls digs down there. Hopefully people will post some pics... cause I managed to come away with only 6 pics the whole time... Great Match, Great people, still sore, headed home IPSC_GUY SIERRA II ALPHA

Who is going? I will be there. IPSC_GUY SIERRA II ALPHA

Post some pics of the Robinson XCR please. That does look nice. I just Duracoated my S12 and I will get some pics of it this weekend and get them up. As everyone has stated PREP is the key, the painting part is the easy part. Mine has been ultimately protected as it was first parked, then Gunkoted over the park, and finally Duracoated a tan color. Pics to follow, IPSC_GUY SIERRA II ALPHA

David Does EXCELLENT work I highly recommend him as well. The Ironman this year is going to be MUCH easier thanks to his pouches. IPSC_GUY SIERRA II ALPHA
