  2. How strong is your saiga?

    Hey madmilo thanks for the ideas. I totally forgot about pin shoots and how fun they are. The ones I've seen most of the projectiles get stuck in them or go threw them. I highly doubt there is a possiblity of a return shot from a bowling pin.

     

    Plus whats more fun then bowling with bullets! :D

     

    Time to start calling some local alleys :super:

    I'd think an aluminum pan is probably a good bet. There are a bazillion cheap ones and plenty to trash pick. It's light enough to make hanging easy. Blow the crap out of them and then re-cycle whatever is left.

     

    I think if I do aluminum then I use a slug I'm going to have aluminum pan confetti. I want something I can shoot at a few times. I live in New Mexico and just plan on going out somewhere in the desert to shoot.

     

    Thanks for the input though. :-)

    If you use a pan, just make sure to cut the edges off and you should be fine.

     

    If the plate gives, you should be free of ricochets.

     

    Be careful.

     

     

    Gives cause it is hanging from a chain or metal gives? How am I going to cut the edge off a cast iron skillet? :huh:

     

    Gives cause it is hanging from a chain or propped up, yes.

     

    As for the cutting, do you know anybody that works at a garage or a machine shop?

     

    Oh I think i see why people are saying cut off the edges cause they think I will be shooting at the face of them? I plan on hanging it from something like a metal hanger so it cann't twist in the wind. I'm going to be shooting at the back of them. But the wire will still allow them to swing away from me. So I don't really have to cut the sides off right? :up:

    You should probably stick to bird shot for that... much less likely to break skin when it does bounce back at that range. Eye protection is a must.

     

     

    When I see compititions where they have the targets fall when hit. Do they have a chance of bounce backs also? I've seen a few on youtube.

    At about 25 yards does anyone know how much there saiga would penetrate a steal sheet? I'm wondering how thick a sheet I would need to make some reusable targets for myself. If anyone has done this let me know or where I could buy some that are reasonably priced that I won't destroy after a few 100 hits.

     

    Thanks

     

    I'm thinking about using the back of some various size cast iron skillets since they are pretty cheap.

    Having them hanging from a length of metal cable so I can easily transport it with a few metal pipes. Anyone know the chances of a ricoshay? ( I don't feel like shooting myself anytime soon.)

    Anyone know who has a Saiga 12 with threaded barrel for sale online or any dealers in New mexico? Everywhere I go even when it says "instock" and I try to order one. Come to find out its on either back order or not in stock and don't know when it will be in.

     

    Also I'd rather not deal with gunbroker.com since I want a new never owned. Also if its not too much to ask a price of $390 to $400 :rolleyes:

    No I ment this link. http://www.onpointsupply.com/cart.php?targ...substring=saiga

     

    So can I shoot it without adding an external choke or will it mess something up on the threads?

     

    It looks like polychoke wants people to send their guns to their factory to do the install... It's not just something I can screw on myself? I really like the idea of an adjustable choke but I don't really want to send it to a factory... :-(

     

    Also does a slug have any problems passing threw a tight choke or will it damage it in anyway?

    I keep seeing Sight Base, and Muzzle Adapter on some places to buy. I'm pretty sure sight base is for scopes and such just like a rifle correct? Muzzle Adapter I believe is for a choke correct?

     

    So if I do buy a saiga with a muzzle adapter can I fire it without putting a choke on or will that damage whatever is at the end to attach a choke?

     

    Anyone had a link to some affordable chokes or are they all at least 100 each?

     

    Thanks for dealing with my noob questions.

    Thanks Jim,

     

    I would like to use a 10 round mag, but I'm not planning on using a conversion. I would just like to buy one that I can put a 10 round mag in and use at the shooting range. I've also seen a 20 round magazine drum but haven't been able to find a seller online. Are they legal? I was told pretty much everything is legal in New Mexico...

     

    Also not to be a smart ass but how do "they" know if you actually replaced parts to comply with the 922R law?

    If I was to buy an S12 and want to use a 10 round mag, the 10 round mag counts as 3 parts and I could add on a buttstock cushion which counts as an additional 1 part. Which would comply with the law right? What happens if I take that mag off and switch to the one that it came with? All of a sudden is that shotgun illegal..?

     

    Threaded barrel refers to an adjustable choke?

    How many companies make saiga's? I know RAA does and Izhmash. But are is there a company that produces lesser quality guns or should I not worry about who produced it.

     

    Is there anything that should I worry about since I'm close to purchasing one?

    Also you have to change 3 parts for US made ones to comply with the law?
