  1. These do look cool and I'm already a big fan of the MDS. Check out the ARMS #31 mount, which should work perfectly and give you both a nice cowitness and QD at the same time. I have several of these mounts and the work great.
  2. Mine showed up yesterday as well. I haven't tested them yet, but man did they get here quick.
  3. I just want to say thanks again for handling this in such an awesome manner. It says a lot about you and your company.
  4. Doesn't the factory puck move freely when it's clean?
  5. The answers are here on the forum but to properly explain the necessary considerations and opinions would take someone at least a half hour or more of typing time. It takes the combination of the right knowledgeable person being in the right mood to sit down and dedicate a lot of time to writing it and answering the multitude of follow up questions. Shannon of Cobra's Custom used to be awesome about doing this for people, but he understandably got burned out on it after untold thousands of hours spent typing instead of doing what he does best. If you haven't already, try using Google
  6. I've had quiet a few emails back and forth with David on different topics and he seems like a great guy who is genuinely interested in putting out a quality product.
  7. I agree with GunFun (as usual). Extra weight out on the barrel is in the worst place you could put it for leverage. I see these shrouds simply as heavy decoration. I usually put 100-200 rounds of birdshot/buckshot down the pipe when I shoot these guns and the barrel does not get nearly as hot as it does on a rifle. This led me to believe that a lot of the barrel heat associated with rapid firing a rifle is probably due to friction rather than the burning powder, but I'm just speculating. Finally, one cannot speak of barrel shrouds without paying homage to this classic clip...
  8. Cracked me up pretty good with that one. Then I laughed again realizing that you thought of that joke and then had the follow-through to go look up the run time.
  9. This was just posted over on another forum. Sounds like good news for compliance and tuning... "I've replaced both the puck and gas adjustment plug, both US made for the Saiga 12 from carolina shooters. Both fit perfectly but I have yet to go to the range to see if they work without issues. Haven't tried the auto plug one."
  10. Great point. A half dollar sized group at 50 yards is all I require from .22.
  11. This stuff has been very consistent for me and is usually priced pretty reasonably (relatively speaking) when it's in stock. It's a nice balance of economy and accuracy when compared with Golden Bullets or CCI.
  12. The owner of DDI (David Fillers) seems to be genuinely interested in bringing good products to the market. It may be worth contacting him to see if he would be interested in tapping into your expertise. david.fillers@ddiarms.com
  13. Yes, apparently this shotgun features and enclosed trigger pack so until we get good images of it, we don't know if it is easily replaced with a standard FCG. In the photo below, it looks like it has the right axis pin holes, so maybe it would be an easy swap after all, I'm just not sure... Saiga for comparison... Edit: Added S12 pic for comparison.
  14. This is going to be really tricky with the trigger pack. Ordinarily, you could drop in a G2 for 3 easy parts, but this is still a big unknown at this point. You can play around with this tool, but I don't really see any way to make it work... http://gunwiki.net/Gunwiki/BuildSaigaShotgunVerifyCompliance You might need to run CSSpecs mags instead for a reliable 8 round option. Remember to keep in mind that the compliance page linked above is for S12 shotguns, so there's no telling if it's applicable at this point.
  15. This is a bit of an unknown at this time because I don't believe that ATF has made any statements about this particular shotgun. It would be great if their interpretation of 922r was consistent, but history has proven otherwise. For example, parts counts are different for Saiga Shotguns and Rifles. They consider the "puck" to be the piston on a shotgun and don't count the rear trunnion as a part. If it works the same for these shotguns as the S12, you don't need to swap out the thread protector, you just need to make sure that if you replace it, you do so with a U.S. part. Assumin
  16. That's right. The propriety trigger system means that it won't be as easy as it is on the Saigas. I think I remember David Fillers (owner of DDI) suggesting a U.S. pistol grip, U.S. Stock, and US magazines for compliance, but be sure to do your own homework and don't take this as legal advice.
  17. It is only 922r compliant with magazines holding 5 rounds or less. 100% Chinese manufactured, so no US parts out of the box. If you want to use mags larger than 5 rounds, you'll need to start counting/swapping parts.
  18. First review on this shotgun... (Big Shooterist) https://www.full30.com/video/77f8d8ea932172df312cd532630aa80e
  19. http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?/topic/88701-a-quick-reminder-on-forum-rules/
  20. I now remember reading this suggestion in the past but it slipped my mind. Thanks for taking the time to track down those links.
  21. The Suarez trick for identifying slug mags mentioned above.
  22. To backup what Chile said, here's my list in order of preference. Range mags... AGP over SGM. Friends don't let friends buy Promags. The drums may be ok, but should still be considered range mags. Also, Korean 5 rounders work great. Serious mags... My favorite is still the Izhmash 8 round polymer, but the CSSpecs steel mags are awesome too. The Izzy 8s have a weight advantage and don't have a spine to cut into the webbing of your hand during reloads. I have short fingers so this is a real issue with me using the CSSpec mags. I actually wrapped a section of several layers of gor
