That means it will SHOOT THROUGH SCHOOLS, JUST LIKE THE .88 MAGNUM! My sister shot me once..........once.

I ran across a reference to this in the VEPR 7.62x54r section (http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?/topic/83001-23-762x54r-vepr-with-bolt-hold-open/) - there's a trick to getting any AK rifle to do BHO. I've tried it with my VEPR and with my S-12 and it worked with both (even though I have the factory BHO on the S-12). There's a spot when charging the system, right after pulling back just past the trigger, where you can pull the trigger and it locks the bolt back. The first time I tried this, I was pretty skeptical, as I seemed to luck into finding the right spot. After trying it sever

Even though it has an actual BHO feature, I tried the above trick on my Saiga-12...worked on it as well.

Well, I played around a bit more tonight, and was able to consistently get the bolt to stay open. I would still find myself fishing around trying to find the sweet spot to get things to drop in place, and I think if I had a full magazine I probably would eject 1-2 trying to do this. I think it's a worthy thing to do, especially if you frequent those ranges that insist on an open bolt during cease fire...

I got mine to do this...once. From the pissmeoff factor, I'm guessing that this is a happy bonus for some, but not an actual design feature.

Mine came in today - furniture is not too bad, no cracks. Very rough, in that it's obvious they used some sort of electric carving tool to rough out the shape of the pistol grip and stock. Hand guard is pretty smooth, and a quick fine sanding will take care of that. There is a chunk out of the base of the pistol grip where a knot was - might have to try some wood putty or just wrap the base in something. The stock seems to be walnut and the handguard seems to be a lighter wood, both in color and density. I'm hoping they color-match when I hit them with some linseed oil once everything is

Aaaaaand...they're out. Looks like they were dumping their inventory, as the model number is listed as discontinued. I got worried when I saw that and called to make sure my order got in, as the status hadn't changed. I was assured that mine was going out the door that day. I'm actually looking forward to working on the crappy, unfinished stock. One of the things I liked about this rifle was how nice the furniture (on the legit ones) looked.

Been watching these for a while - got the email with the catalog and price drop... had to (wait for it...) pull the trigger on one. Hopefully I'll have it in hand by the end of the week - crappy, unfinished stock and all.

Make? Model? Harbor Freight has some decent cheapo calipers: http://www.harborfreight.com/4-inch-digital-caliper-47256.html These are featured quite often in their monthly/weekly ads with a coupon that knocks them down to under $10.

Centerfire Systems has these in stock. http://centerfiresystems.com/fury.aspx?utm_source=streamsend&utm_medium=email&utm_content=18341661&utm_campaign=Just%2520Arrived%2520-%2520Mosin%2520Nagants%2520and%2520Fury%252012%2520GA%2520Semi%2520Auto%2520Shotguns

Howdy all! First off, I'd like to throw out compliments to this site for being THE go-to place for Saiga information. Also would like to apologize for the length of this post... I received my S-12 a couple months ago (right before all the crazy happened), and have been adding accessories since then. My timing has been spot on - I got my MD-20 the night before EVERYONE was sold out, got my conversion kit from CSS before they were all gone, etc. Anyway, I haven't actually done the conversion yet, so the gun is effectively still stock (except for the exact amount of US made parts to al

I recently purchased my S-12...haven't shot it yet but I've taken it apart a couple times, and I was hoping for a bit more explanation on how things work. The puck only looks to have about 1" of travel or less, and then seems to block the gas from going down the gas tube. Even if the expanding gasses get past the puck, the BCG seems to have a lot of clearance around it to allow the gasses to pass by. I guess my questions would be: What drives the BCG the 3"-4" needed to cycle everything? I've seen a lot of discussion of FTE and a lot of focus on the gas ports and the gas puck - but if
