    Pefectly normal. My Saiga 12 is the same way and I have run over 2000 rounds through it with no problem. FYI, the original Kalashnikov design had two mechanisms to prevent an out of battery fire. The first was a mechanism in its fire control group called an automatic safety sear (a.k.a. auto safety sear, auto sear, safety sear), which made sure a trigger pull would not drop the hammer unless the bolt group was fully forward (making sure the round was fully chambered and the bolt locked into battery). The second mechanism is just a bump on the back of the bolt group (just below the opening

    Yeah a dedicated less than lethal platform like the FN303, or the one Beretta is developing (I think its called the LTL 7000), would definitely seem to be a better platform for a launchable self-contained taser device like this. I am guessing though that since there are a lot more 12 gauge shotguns than dedicated less than lethal launchers in police department inventories, that Taser believed their will be a much bigger market for a 12 gauge taser round than for a taser round for dedicated LTL platforms. The main issue though has already been pointed out by Azrial, that using solid projectiles

    So the Federal value pack #8 ammo wouldn't cycle on the #1 gas setting? The distance the Saiga 12 ejects shells is directly proportional to the speed of the bolt group as it cycles back to eject the empty shell, so if you can use the #1 gas setting the velocity of the bolt group will be slower and the empty shells won't get ejected as far. If the #1 gas setting won't cycle this federal value pack ammo, and you haven't shot that much ammo through this Saiga 12 yet (less than 200 rounds), then try the #1 gas setting again after you've hit the 200 round mark. Once its had a fair amount of ammo ru

    Firing out of battery is very dangerous and unsafe, and definitely not normal for any firearm, including a Saiga 12. A quick question though. You say it 'appears' to be firing out of battery, as if you are not sure your Saiga 12 really is firing out of battery, so what makes you think it is firing out of battery? Usually if a firearm fires out of battery there will be no doubt about it (i.e. the cartridge case will be blown open and the firearm will be badly damaged).

    To me a 20 round stick mag would definitely seem to be way too long to be practical for serious social work like home-defense, but in an IPSC shooting competition where the shooter is outdoors and there is plenty of room to maneuver I don't think it would be an issue. A 20 round drum would give the same capacity while being a lot shorter, but a 20 round stick mag, even though it is very long, would probably make for just a bit faster mag change, since it's easier to grab ahold of and manipulate a stick mag than a drum, and competitive shooters like to save every fraction of a second that they

    The Russian/Bulgarian style foldling stocks are nice, but you have to de-rivet the fixed stock rear trunnion the Saiga 12 comes with, modify the receiver to accept a side-folding stock rear trunnion, rivet in the side-folding rear trunion, and then modify the front of the receiver so you can install the front retaining catch that holds the stock in place when folded. The folding mechanism for Tromix or Ace type folding stocks is much easier to install, because all that needs to be done is to cut off the rear tang and then weld on a back plate to the rear of the receiver, or just use one of the

    Then the dealer was bullshiting you about it having 5 U.S. made parts (or he just didn't know what the hell he was talking about). All the parts in a factory stock Saiga shotgun (including of course the Izhmash factory 5 round magazine that comes with it) are Russian made. If you swap the Russian 5 round magazine with a U.S. made magazine, then you have swapped in 3 U.S. made parts not 5. If this 19" Saiga 12 has a threaded barrel (you will see a thread protector screwed onto the threads at the end of the barrel if it does), then to be 922r compliant you will need to swap in one more U.S. made

    Considering that since the Clinton administration the feds have been trying to shut down as many FFL holders as possible as a back door method of gun-control and eliminating our self-defense rights, I am always glad to hear when a new FFL holder appears, and I am sure most of the other member of this forum would agree. I would imagine all the business members here (and I am sure especially those who are FFL holders) have been very busy since Obama took office, and so probably just don't have the time to respond to you right away. Also, considering how busy everyone probably is, it would pr

    RAAC probably has a few spare sliding dust covers on-hand (they are the official Saiga 12 importer after all), so you might want to try e-mailing or calling RAAC first.

    Back when importation of the Saiga 12 started the Saiga 12s being imported did not have threaded barrels and the ATF said they had a total of 13 countable parts. 922r compliance requires that there are no more than 10 foreign made parts, so for these Saiga 12s without the threaded barrels, using just a U.S. made magazine (which counts as 3 parts) was sufficient to get 922r compliance. For about the last couple of years however, all the Saiga 12s being imported had threaded barrels, and the ATF says Saiga 12s with threaded barrels have 14 countable parts. For a Saiga 12 with a threaded barrel y

    FN does make a 9mm pistol under the model number FNP-9, and FN makes a 5.7x28mm pistol under the model number Five-SeveN, they don't make any pistols (or any other firearms that I know of) with a model number of FN57, and none of the commercially available 5.7x28mm (or 9mm) ammunition available in this country is of the so called copkiller (i.e. bullet proof vest piercing) type. This is just the typical media modus operandi these days. If it a subject they are ignorant on they just make shit up rather than spend the 30 seconds it would take to visit the FNH USA website to get the right model n

    The OP is not equating the Fort Hood shootings with that speech. Again, every year on November 5th some people bring up the 'V' speech as a reminder about working to regain lost freedoms and make this country a better place. If that scumbag Hasan had commited mass murder at Fort Hood on Easter and that same day someone had also made a post on this forum about the resurrection, would you accuse the poster of equating Jesus with a mass murderer? Dude gkcf wasn't saying the OP was making that equation, he was replying to what kwicko said, gkcf was making the same point as you.

    Uh guys, his post has nothing to do with the shootings at Fort Hood yesterday. November 5th is just the date 'V' says in his speech from the graphic novel (and movie), and some have begun to make it a sort of annual tradition that on November 5th to bring up that speech, as a yearly reminder about working to reclaim lost freedoms.

    You mean like this..... ........ though technically since this is an integrally suppressed Saiga 12, the suppressor isn't shrouding the barrel, but rather the suppressor is the barrel.

    Yes a Saiga 12 with an Ace folding stock (or any other folding stock for that matter) can be fired when the stock is folded. There is no possibility of the charging handle hitting the stock with a left-side folding arrangement of course, and as for the right-side folding setup, while I have never myself seen one in person, from what I understand the hinge is mounted at a slight angle so when the stock is folded it is actually just below the line of travel of the charging handle, so the charging handle can still reciprocate freely during firing (or when charging the weapon) without hitting the
  21. sudaevpps43
    I am aware of two folding stock types, and both will work with the side-rail in place, though only one will work if you also have an optic mounted to the side-rail. The most common side-folder stock type installed on Saiga-12s, which is the one where the tang is cut off and a side-folding mechanism is installed in the back of the receiver (either by welding in a back plate with mounting holes for the hinge mechanism, or by installing one of those new bolt-in hinge mount assemblies) are designed so there is space between the stock and the left side of the receiver when the stock is folded, so n

    sudaevpps43 replied to Gothmog's topic in Saiga-12

    I believe the CZ-75 type pistols EAA imports are made by Tanfoglio of Italy ( http://www.tanfoglio.it/ ) and are supposed to be of good quality. I don't know who makes the revolvers EAA imports. The Zastava EZ and M88 pistols are of course made by Zastava of Serbia, as are the longarms (P.A.P. and Black Arrow) that EAA imports. Interestingly the Zastava M76 rifle ( http://www.zastava-arms.co.rs/images/vojni/sniper/m76_engleski.htm ) has been imported into the U.S. for quite some time, but not apparently by EAA. I would really like to see someone import the Zastava M91 rifle ( http://www.zastav

    Welcome to the forum. I highly doubt there is anything wrong with your Saiga 12 or that any of the threads on the gas plug are damaged. Here are pictures of a standard Saiga 12 gas plug...... ........and as you can clearly see the threads only go about a third of the way down from the top of the plug (the spiral pattern on the remaining length of the plug is just a machining mark left over from fabrication that Izhmash does not bother to polish out to save on manufacturing costs). The gas powder residue you see inside the gas cylinder (gas chamber) when you take the gas plug and

    Just great, as if the zombies weren't bad enough, now we have to worry about killer trees . Which brings up the obvious question, what is the best weapon for killer trees, a Saiga 7.62x39, a Saiga 308, a Saiga 12, or a Stihl chainsaw? I am a big fan of the Saiga 12, but I gotta tell you for killer trees I'm leaning towards the Stihl, but I am open to any constructive input.

    #4 buckshot pellets are .24 caliber and typically weigh about 21 grains each, while T shot pellets are .20 caliber and a lead pellet of T shot will weigh about 14 grains. So normally a pellet of T shot has only about three-quarters the weight of a #4 buckshot pellet, which makes it signicantly lighter per pellet. Remington's website says the alloy used to make Hevi-shot is denser than lead but it doesn't say how much denser, so its hard to tell how close a T shot pellet made of Hevi-shot alloy would really be in weight to a lead #4 buckshot pellet.
