  1. 1. Define "high level of reliability" - with "what for?" - if you are building for home defense and range plinking - most stock ARs are a good choice with little or no gunsmith skill really. If you are doing 3 Gun Matches - you go to the range and see what the pros use - basically stock ARs with maybe a trigger group mod, pin retainers, medium to light barrels. If you are going to be some kind of "operator" you need a IAR/SBR build by the pros that provide weapons to SWAT and LEO - check in with them via google. 2. Anything you use or build will only be as good as the operator/handle
  2. I stayed for 1 year before they started the short sale on my house. I made every house payment (9.7% interest, yes I was a sucker) for 3 years until I got sick and lost my job. No refi - it was early 2009 - so they didn't give a shit. Stay until they post notice on your house, then you have 90 days left. Once the date expires on the order, I understood they could come in anytime and put my stuff on the curb, no call, and the sheriff will be there. I made sure I took all the appliances, light fixtures, plumbing and bath fixtures - it makes my small trailer look like home...
  3. it fits on any rail system, so get a quad rail system. I agree, it does not lend to shoulder fire or aiming down sights, it is a hip mounted - laser or flashlight aim. If you think about it, a over the shoulder sling would be better as it would hold the weight of the weapon for ya. It can be a double point sling - not a three point as shown -
  4. Live your life to its fullest - that is how you pay forward those who pass before you. Keep them alive by sharing the great things they did. Avoid drugs and alcohol, they impair your thinking and screw up the respect you intend for the dead.
  5. just get the UTG Quad rail - $99, comes with short and long rail for you to choose, I use the short top rail, I mount a RDS and it works great. (also seen here - Mississippi Arms barrel shroud to protect barrel, TapCo stock. SightMark RDS) You will replace the forearm, it installs like a clam, and all alum. construction. They include rubber grip panels!. Side rail was such a pain in the ass on a mosin nagent and AK- just did not even bother on the Saiga ...
  6. I installed a MD Arms V-plug with no issues - the V-plug was a bit longer than my original plug but screwed in most of the way. It did not bind on the barrel. I agree with above - file the PLUG not the barrel.
  7. jdpete if might need fitting - even the instructions inclued with the drum tell you that you might have to shave some plastic off the section that will fit in the rear part of the mag well. Since your saiga 12 cycles ammo in all other means - it sounds like the drum is not fitted and not feeding the shells correctly, tweak it a bit.
  8. My story is similar - it is a great shotgun. I just had to work the MD/ProMag 20 drum - shave a bit of plastic to get it to fit right. I prefer the drum to the longer stick magazines. I upgraded to Tapco collapsible stock (required no fire control group to be moved forward) and UTG quad rail for the forearm - so I now have a pistol grip and adjustable stock, and red dot optic, I can put my flashlight on it for low light. I was just given a MD Arms V-Plug to swap out the original gas plug. I will give it a try as I am trying to get the saiga to work flawlessly - off the shoulder etc. The main
  9. The whole point of not trying to load a full mag with a closed bolt is the issue of damaging the shell where it causes feeding problems. By stuffing the magazine into the shotgun you damage the top shell so it is deformed before you even jack the bolt back and try to get it up the feed ramp and into the chamber while it is out of round shaped. (lets agree - some brands damage more easily - ie - Duplex buckshot - it is not a crimp but a cardboard disk rolled in. Even crimped shells can get damage enough that it is out of round and will not slide up the feed ramp smoothly or fit smoothly in the
  10. All state gov has its nuts - the good news - the illinois AWB looks like it is stalled - http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2013-01-04/news/chi-gay-marriage-assault-weapons-ban-votes-delayed-in-illinois-senate-20130103_1_marriage-bill-assault-weapons-gay-marriage " an effort to ban semi-automatic assault weapons and large-capacity ammunition magazines --- backed by Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel --- also lacked the votes needed for passage. Opponents argued the measure was too broad and unworkable." So hopefully like a lot of government crap - it goes no where. Or were you upset
  11. wow - and I got 2 of mine less than a year ago - at $89 each... Locally - a gun show was selling MD20s - for $250. Who needs a gun ban - there are other ways to screw us.
  12. Gun and knife show - Gibraltar Mt Clemens - fear buying and price gouging is the game - MD20's - $250. one guy offered $3000 for my buddy's chromed AK47. bulk 556? can't find it. Soon thieves will target forums like this for robberies.. Setup up your OpSec.
  13. http://tacticalcamo.com/MARPAT/digi.php This site will generate stencil based on your input - for free! I had checked out so many tutorials and sites, some charge for stencils. This was to get ready for Polar Shoots or Winter FTX
  14. ah man, did he just dis FPS? lol, that russian guy... and hell yea - some flat shooting there (although not too hard with the good old Saiga)

    Talk Shit, Get Bit - nice photo, too bad for ol' piggie
  16. Mt Clemen's Gun and Knife show - $700 to $800 - sport version, non-converted. Saiga 12s. I got mine at $625.
  17. ProMag 20 drums are easy to load - use that cocking lever to move the follower down - you are practically dropping in the 12 ga round one at a time. I do this while resting the drum on the ground/floor, than on a bench. Yep - load it with the open bolt - it is easier, faster, and less likely to smush a weak crimped shell. It depends on you - your arm length etc. I can hold my Saiga fine with a drum. Just take some time to get used to it. You will eventally get a quad rail for the fore arm (for a center mounted top rail for Red Dot Sight)- and the fastest way to get a pistol grip/coll
  18. point being - should we start buying up more ammo and firearms BEFORE they are banned - with the latest press conference by the president of USA himself crying on TV - yea - I think we might see a ban on magazines, ammunition quanities, and firearm types - it won't matter if a Saiga 12 with detachable magazine was used or not.
  19. BTW he used his mom's school ID to buzz himself into the school. Weapons did belong to mom. I still think the principal should have allowed Concealed Carry in the school. With a dumb ass punk kid with a AR15 with little or no skill - ANY kind of return fire might have saved lives.
  20. "Can't stop crazy" might be the best thing I heard in this thread. There are ways to limit the damage crazy can do - Israel -
  21. http://www.strikehol...f-introduction/ Based on additional photos that appeared in places like the Predator Intelligence blog, the Saiga-9 Carbine will have a barrel length of 16″ and the 30-round magazines of the Vityaz-SN will also fit it. (USA will never see this specific model - it is not sporterized, even this model is questionable)
  22. Dunham's is selling the QD SightMark RD - this one looks more like the EOD RD/halo sight - normally $120, now $99. I have also tried their $40 RD Sightmark - the back half of the sight is plastic - and broke. The above sight has more metal around it to protect it. I also use TruGlo RD for the Ar15. In 3 gun matches, the range you are shooting at - these low priced optics are reasonable. I just could not see buying a $500 EOD sight for even competition. For life saving/self defense - you can use iron sights or pop on a more expensive 3-9x50 scope. Iron sights are a must - in case the batteries
  23. as a NRA RSO for the gun club I go to I got to hear about our AD's. Two ADs were by police officers using the range. One officer was showing off - he ejected a live round from his glock and caught the round in the air. His next action was to put his hand in front of the pistol and pulling the trigger. One AD was a quick draw, and yep - shot himself in the leg. The third was out on the skeet range, fired into the ground a foot away from another man's leg. during the 3 gun matches - I see people 'panic' under the timer, fumble, and brain fart. The same issues happen when people drive and tal
  24. yea I saw the video shot, at least one AK47 look alike. That is just bad news as that means a aggressive police response, I hated to be there when it goes down. At least its not a SAIGA 12!
  25. Even consider "Knock and announce" - we just had four people killed by a group posing as cops. They laid them all down on the floor aka arrest style - and executed them. You can't blame me for wanting to be safe and secure in my home - I live in a bad neighborhood. Even if police announce themselves - in the dark, in the early am - anyone busting in my door (after all - I am not a criminal, doper, so why would cops come for me??) I HAVE to go for a weapon. I cannot risk me and my wife being executed for our TV... Blame the criminals who pose as cops - use the death penalty for anyone p
