Now I'll have to try that when I get home tonight. Thanks for the tip.

I installed the VLTOR stock and had to do some minor fitting on the bottom edge of the aluminum to get it to fit. Then I had to use 2 small washers to shim under the rear tang hole to get the tube to stick straight out (it was angled slightly upward without the washers). It works great now and is rock solid. I put about 400 rds through it with no issues. If I ever notice the shimmed screw backing out I will put a drop of blue loctite on it. If you like I can post a pic when I get home.

This is great news. Thank you for your hard work. Please accept money from all of us.

Would the 10rd SGM Saiga 030 Legion magwell magazine work in the VEPR-12 without mods or with slight mods? I know LRBHO is not going to work. Any opinions/experience? Here is a link: http://store.carolinashooterssupply.com/servlet/-strse-1593/Legion-030-Saiga-12/Detail

Let us know how that works. Did you just chop the lug off the front of the mag to fit it?

Any good deals out there on Izzy 8 rounders? I think this may be a while longer. The 98% completion is like that huge file download that stops dead for a while then the last 2% takes three times as long as the 98% did.

I bought an 80 rd can of Fiocchi slugs not realizing (my fault) they were low recoil. Talk about a jam-o-matic experience. I was at a range that allows slugs only and it was my first time shooting my V12. I had to clear FTE's for all of my first 20 rds. After that it got less and less but even on my last mag (75-80 rds) I still had a jam. Brought Remington 3" magnums as well and had zero malfunctions with them. Will my V12 break in and be more reliable with low recoil stuff eventually or should I steer clear?

Who knows? Maybe I'll have my 12-rounders for Christmas... maybe.

Any test results to speak of?

Bad ass!

Anyone know of other companies working on 10 or 12 rounders that might make it to market soon?

Sounds promising. Hopefully these are winners.

Any update on these mags? I'm almost thinking Pauly might have his rock & lock conversion kit ready sooner. Not that I'm looking forward to giving up the mag well and LRBHO, but 5 rounds at a time makes for tons of reloading. Plus rock & lock conversion opens up the possibility of drums too. Thanks!

So let me get this straight, here are the mags that were tried/did they work?: Izzy 2 & 5 rd factory/yes Izzy 8rd/no Keepshooting.com 5 rd/yes? Keepshooting.com 10 rd/yes? Other US made rock & lock/no Saiga 030 Legion magwell mags/yes? Am I missing any or incorrect with the compatibility results? Thanks

I left it standard. Works just fine for me like that.

Added Tromix FCG, VLTOR stock tube with Magpul MOE stock, JTE Performance Power Hammer Spring, 11 slot Magpul rail to front handguard with el cheapo folding grip (will upgrade later), Hogue monogrip and a basic breech brake. I like it so far.

No. I had to file a small amount off the aluminum to get the tube to sit right. Even after shimming with a washer the bottom of the tube was hitting the receiver. It was a minimal amount and I didn't take a notch out, I put a small chamfer on the edge. I'll take a close up when I get off work and post it. The bottom of the tube sits 1-2mm inside the receiver now.

Installed the Vltor tube. Had to file some material off the bottom corner and shim the rear screw (between the tang and stock) with a washer to make it stick out straight. Looks great now and works well. I must have gotten lucky on the wood stock removal because it literally fell out when I removed the screws. I can post pics if anyone is interested.

Bought the Tromix from CSS. Dropped in with no issues.

You weren't kidding. Difficult to turn to the last thread!

Perfect. Great find. Got one on order.

Did the hardware in the box work to secure the rail or did you need additional nuts, bolts, etc?

I heard the VLTOR tube installs with no mods. I bought the tube, just waiting for the gun. I will post an update after I *attempt* an install.

Stupid question: use the tapco g2 for Saiga 12 or the standard ak version of G2 fcg?
