    Can you show an example? I'm apparently applying it incorrectly. Momentum = mass x velocity KE (kinetic energy) = mass x velocity^2 Science. It's how God intended us to run the world.

    Some closing pics. The project is essentially done. The OEM Chinese recoil guide rod was more robust than the CSS-supplied rod, and looks well machined. I did not install it. The TAC-47 auto-plug will not thread down fully. The Chinese gas block has shorter threading, and a stop-collar or smaller ID than perhaps the Saiga. I'll check on that and report back. The Choas sights are phenomenal. I'll see what they do for 'precision' (it's a Shotty!) with slugs. Without further ado- In the beginning, it was without form.....

    Leave as-found. As teh video suggests, you can increase the set pressure slightly if your weapon persistently FTE.

    CSS makes a VERY nice rail specifically for the Catamount. I have it on mine. You are correct about spacing, and the tube diameters (barrel and gas) make the yoke inside something like the MI HG a real challenge to modify. I consider the S/A shotgun not an area fire weapon per se. I have the Chaos sights, and the initial shoots fired over the old OEM sights leads me to believe that the F1 is capable of reasonable shotgun accuracy. it is not a precision rifle, however. So- The real estate is like having a turbocharger- there when you need it, and dormant when not. The C

    In Dallas, west of Marietta (bedroom community of ATL). Augusta folks- who do you know over there. I lived there from essentially until 2011. Know a few shooters over there, mostly rifle and pistol. ALso know an ammunition manufacturer over yonder. Current project: Started life this way: It's been fun, and relatively inexpensive!

    I have the F1. I've done a first pass smoothing the interior. It generally does not like #8 shot, but that was to determine "the basement" of energy levels. As for buckshot/slugs, it will shoot the Royal Star 'Low Recoil' slugs : 1200 fps and 1-1/8 ounce weight. So that energy (mv^2) seems a good working math problem. If you can get faster and heavier, it should work, but as a few have said, they are more likely to be tempermental until you smooth them out, and to varying degrees. AS far as buckshot goes, I'd consider the same math for it. Being a gas gun, ther ifl ehas much

    Got the Chaos sights mounted: -and No shots fired yet, so no data on POA, utility, etc. Used with the CSS pig nose full up, the F1 rail and CSS HG rail, the sights index to my line of sight perfectly with a solid, not mashed, cheek weld. The Chaos sights have a great look and feel; the rotor drum indexes solidly, and the sight picture is VERY clean. Should produce interesting results on the range with slugs. I might have to file down that OEM foresight cast onto the gas block just for something to do.

    Which front sight are you using?
  9. InTTruder
    I wish it had a see-through trough so that iron sights could serve. Is the Saiga/F1 sight block on the trunnion the same dimension as an AK? If so, just get one of the common AK short rails.

    Yes, that was my only surprise. Overall, very happy with the gun and conversion. 150 rounds so far now, and runs fine. Needs another 100 or so to sign off "ready-ready", but it was a fun project! Will use different ammunition to test the Auto-Plug.

    SGL and GOB: thanks guys. I appreciate both sets of insights much. I used to do the 1911, and learned early that less is more. I'll make sure and study those references too.

    Wonder if the Aluminum CSS rail for the V12 would work as a replacement. No idea how the DDI rail attaches. Remember- this is a Fury 1 (F1), not a DDI. I don't know that the two are related, although I saw one poster state that DDI was importing Chinese shotguns. Someone refuted that assertion. I'm actually not too surprised. The Chinese probably had that copied straight off the VEPR. Is the VEPR Picatinny? In actuality, the impact is minimal. A little time opening/dressing one of the rear-most slots on the rail and VOILA! Done!
  13. InTTruder
    Total labor cost for the conversion was $145. Not bad. Everything else was pieces-parts. Cheers!

    GREAT Stuff, CSS! Thanks!

    I've found and lost a thread on polishing or profiling the hammer on a Saiga system. I've pounded through he FAQs, but I'm just getting bleary-eyed now. Help me ObiWans; you're my only hope. I want to do this proactively, and not wait for some manufacturing roughness to catch me by surprise. Your advice will help, I know. Thanks.

    The Chaos sights came in. On test-fit, we discovered the dustcover rail is Weaver, not Picatinny. A few minutes with tool work should fix that. The front sight sits perfectly in the CSS rail system. It has small shoulders, but a small screw actually locks it in place, vice clamps. It's elegantly simple and unadorned.
  17. InTTruder
    PS- The Carolina Shooters Supply conversions are well developed. They make the project relatively easy for a skilled tool user who is not a gunsmith.
  18. InTTruder
    Went to install the Chaos HK-style sights and learned the dustcover rail is Weaver, not Picatinny! So we'll do a little fitting on one lug of the rail to accommodate the drum rotor base. The CSS quad rail on the handguard is Picatinny through-and-through.

    MR_22: the pic above has a 5-round magazine inserted (for reference).
  20. InTTruder
    The LRBHO is OEM from the factory. Look closely at my pic above: you can see the stud just behind the magazine, and the small ridged tab at the very back of the TG. The Fury 1 (F1) and Fury 2 (F2) appear to use the same rear trunnion/stock attachment. Remove the stock. The CSS backplate adapter (protrudes from the back of the receiver about 3/8"/10mm) bolts directly to the trunnion. You then attach a pig-nose adapter to the backplate with two machine screws. These allow you to adjust the pig-nose up/down to achieve your desired sight picture. Once adjusted, some Loctite and torque and

    They (Fury shotguns) are in-fact rated for 3". The Fury 1 (F1) I just converted I kept configured for their mags. I have five of the 5x, and four of the 10x magazines, so I probably won't run out of shotgun ammo before I run out of zombies. The F1 magazine is like an AK: rock and lock. You can convert your F1 to use only S-12 (Saiga 12g) mags, but then you've got to buy a bunch of Saiga mags. Your call. The Fury 2 (F2) magazine does not have the AK-style front lug. It will NOT work in the F1, and I can't comment on it working in VEPRs, which use a similar system I opine (but don't

    http://www.carolinashooterssupply.com/Saiga_Parts_and_Accessories_s/1995.htm I used CSS parts for my Fury 1 (F1) and it runs and looks like a hammer of Thor-
  23. InTTruder
    The Carolina Shooters Supply conversions are the cat's meow. Everything fits well, and the actual tool time is about 20min and some dressing up. VEPRs (with a polymer "railed" HG) and (the fugly) dogleg folding stock are up to about $800 NIB. And the VEPR is the RPK chassis, not the AK (Saiga) chassis. SO- for much less than the price of the VEPR, I have a really fun and reasonably accurate (hand-sized slug groups at 25y, standing) tool. It isn't milspec, so I won't act like it is. I am having fun, and the CSS rail and Magpul PG actually make it a delight to handle.

    GunFun is correct- Unmodified, it usually short-strokes (FTE) light birdshot such as #8 field loads. It has never faltered on full-power slugs and 00 or BB. It is, after mods , disgustingly reliable. I haven't tested it with #8 however- the 1100 ran all that stuff off.
  25. InTTruder
    I have to agree with the MM and GunFun- a regulator is best used in a properly designed and maintained weapon. They can be used to overcome wear and fouling (some- a la FAL), but one must first ahve a properly manufactured system for an adjustable regulator to do its job. Sounds as if we all actually agree, in spite of our difficulties using a common language!
