Im a lefty too. Can I see some better pictures angles of the BHO hold/release setup(less blur too)? Also while mounted? Interested in this mod.

Congrats on the new Tromix. Welcome to the club. Just a side note on the 1" pull. You could get a Remmington recoil pad (screw on type). But its real important to test it out with your gear 1st. Wear your harness/rig and check the fit. I sometimes wear my Interceptor and its that extra inch. In any case, vest/gear/rig items are definitely something to consider before you start thinking "NATO length" this or that. Winter is upon us. Check it with the thick coat yet? ~S

+1 LOL... I have that as well now. I attached a red "REMOVE BEFORE FIGHT" flag to the pull pin. I used to place it on the barrel of my AK or whatever, but the liked this idea so much I moved it to the pull pin. It's a much better spot for it. (Its just a standard "remove before flight" flag seen on most aircraft. I stitched up the flag to remove the "L". Makes great range conversation). ~S

Marty: It's a..key? Jack Sparrow: NO! Much more better. It's a DRAWING of a key!

HAHAHAHAHAH~!!! ok back to the topic... Tony, How much is the cheek piece by itself? I was thinking of getting one of those and mounting it on my tromix folder. ~Steve

Welcome to the club

I'll take #3)TDI AK lower and upper railed handguards.Fits nearly all stamped receivers--$50.00 shipped PM to be sent in a moment... ~S

2 points.... 1) you REALLY need an ammo pouch 2) 40 Good video though. Clear and explained your keypoints (unlike others that simply blow off rounds) No jams for 7 1/2 birdshot ...I'll have to revisit Remington again when I go light loads ~Semper Fi

Marine here as well. In Ohio there's differences in law for self defense -depending on the location. In fact, Ohio law: 2305.40 Owner, lessee, or renter of real property not liable to trespasser. http://codes.ohio.gov/orc/2305.40 In particular section C, 2. I try to know my rights and laws to the best of my "reasonable" ability. If/when a home invader's family wants to take me to court, they'll lose -Even if I'm mistaken. Nice touch. I completely agree that ANY self-defense situation is certainly nothing to brag about. I find it childish and naive to the seriousness of consequence

(sorry for posting in this forum if it should be elsewhere. Its just where I post most often. Move if needed). Well, heard they're at it again. If the McCarthy bill wasnt bad enough (just the 1st step as I was reading), as soon as they (Congress) comes back from their recess, one of the 1st things on the agenda is to debate this: HR 2640 (interesting is the "troubling questions go unanswered" link and the "Senate ready to move on gun control" link. http://www.gunowners.org/netb.htm Here's the summary: http://www.gunowners.org/ne0701.htm Essentially, read the summary on

Not positive but I think the US one is made from stainless steel? Might mean smoother action and/or easier cleaning (less fouling perhaps to degrade performance). Then again, not sure how stainless would react with the temperatures in there....might swell up and seize until it cools down? Not positive at all how it would perform really. Need someone who has one to reply for that. ~S

I have the one that was just before that (had 3 hex screws to mount instead of the throw lever). Its low rise, and its "over the bore" (centered and not to the left side like some POSP scopes can be like). In fact, I'm going to go buy that particular model from somewhere because I know its centered and it will mount my Kobra well. I like the throw lever much better (I modified the old one to be that way). It mounts great of the Saiga plates....but not so secure on the Romanian type plates (they're flatter). One other thing to note... if you use a folder and it folds to t

Which brings up a great point... the Saiga spring is in "2" sections. The forward section is easy to remove. The rear is a pain. What about just taking a stock S12 (unfired) and changing the forward spring out depending on the type of shot you know you will be using? If you're just shooting slugs, you could swap out the original front spring with say, a 22 pounder. That way it takes the brunt up front. Or...(better idea for troubleshooting) ...if the original "set" of springs seem to strong to cycle even whimpy "bird shot" on setting 2, you could replace the forward with a lighter 1

How can we forget? Shark Brake (Tromix) is one of the best conversation pieces on the range. Its functional to reduce climb and recoil, gives a higher intimidation factor (judging from responses), meant for door breaching rounds, and even gives you a semi-bayonet jab

Yep...knew that and have done that as well. 20 pounder or 22 pounder will work nicely. The forward spring is easy, but the rear one is a pain since the retainer (for the top cover) that holds the whole assembly together is pretty much permanent. You could "wind" it around and around with some fiddling...but "might need a slight trim to get the exact length and compression "wave" in the spring. But yes, they work just nicely if you somehow trash out a spring *(firing nothing but 00buck and slugs can really beat the rear spring to heck after a 1000 shots or so. Even though its useable, yo

+1 (Best comment I've read in a while). Only a true gun lover could make that statement.

Im in Cincinnati area (Warren County technically near you and Mike). That bill was House Bill 347 Which of course was veto'd the governor ....but then voted on right then and there -and was passed despite his objections -thus became law. http://www.legislature.state.oh.us/bills.cfm?ID=126_HB_347 (Gov. Action Note: Vetoed on 12/07/06; veto overridden in House on 12/07/06 and in Senate on 12/12/06 =Effective law on 3/14/07) Video: http://www.oll.state.oh.us/your_government...ession_id=90779 (real player...go to 5 minutes in and watch until just after 8 minutes of the session to

What I do is take it to the indoor range nearby often. Nothing like the pop, pop, pop, ping ping, and then you unload 10x 00buck or slugs. Certainly a head turner. I remember this big guy next to my booth who was instructing his girlfriend how to shoot a glock or something simply say "I almost shit my shorts" after I unloaded a mag (destroying the target). That is when people often ask about it. Initially its concern that Im shooting a .50 cal in there and it looks like an AK (its a pitsol, shotgun, and non-bottle nose ammunition range). Well of course I tell them its a Saiga 12 -a shotgu

LOL... no. That was earlier when I was thinking they were 3" in length. They are actually 2.55" (marked 65 on the shell as well). The point is that the main part of the end cap is set back into the shell casing about 1/4 inch. This leaves no support at the end at all. My thought was that case length was the issue. I would've used one of the 100 spent shells I have and placed a cap on there to simulate the support it would (should) have. Its either a support issue at the end of the cap to the edge of shell... or a feed angle from the mag that loses the battle with the bolt each time.

Sucks for me being a "lefty". -I think Tony is too if I recall. Even if they could make it eject left side, I've never liked the idea of a round going off right next to my ear. If I want short, I'll pay the $200 tax/extortion fee for a sbs. ~S

Probably should've been clearer.... Just looked at the stack of hulls I have from the last box I shot and also my remaining new boxes. The shells are marked "12" and "65" on there with some other marking. In reality they are actually "about" 2.5 inches in length (just pulled a live round and stood it next to my tape measure). These are the same box as what is currently sold on their website as "2 3/4 in. shells" though. That is the box I have sitting right in front of me now...pics available. I was mistaken calling them 3" sells...but the reason is because I know the plug is p

I bought them initially for being the top round. -Even more so since they are only 7 1/2 shot loads. Tried it being the top with 9 below... crimped the end when pulling the charge handle back = locked the bolt forward and couldn't get past it. Tried with 8 = same effect Tried with 7 = same Tried with 6 = "tolerable". No crimp/jam (or very minor) and no deform below of course in all cases above (after all, I can load 10 plastics just fine). What it comes down to on these is simply the 3" length of the shell, but it only used 2 3/4 of it before you see the plastic end cap in there. T

Dont be so fast.... I went up to AimSurplus (just up the road from me) and bought 20 boxes of their steel case ammo (currently its just the 7 1/2 bird shot). Although it certainly will not deform while sitting in the AGP mag I found an issue that I'm not happy about. The plastic "plug" that holds it all in the case is set back about 1/4 to 1/2 an inch from the end of the end (these are 3 inch shells). 1) In a full AGP mag, its difficult to load them into the gun. There's no give at all (no shit, its steel) and again, these are the 3" shells. 2) The worst problem is that beca
