  1. Yes, they exist. I have one. It is a factory mag from overseas. It's not a frankenmag. jd1
  2. How about making a shell catcher/stopper? A pvc frame with some netting to catch the hulls or at least knock them down in front of you. It would be cheap, portable and easy to break down. There are some commercially made ones that are essentially just that and are even made to catch the empties in a bucket or bag. jd1

    FINALLY !!!!

    Too late for you but you should have tried the Remington cheap stuff in the green and tan box. My S20 loves them. They're the Rem Game Loads at Commie Mart for 3.27. jd1
  4. I love my S20! The manual had the settings on the gas plug backwards so I was having jams with the standard ammo on my first range trip but the magnum shells were working fine. I conferred with the saiga forums guru's and take the plug out and see that the 1 is for magnum and 2 is for standard. Buy more ammo, go shooting. This thing will shoot as fast as you can pull the trigger. Mine likes the Remington Game Load and Hi-velocity game loads, the green and tan box 8 and 7 1/2 cheap stuff, lo-brass on the 2 setting. It DOES NOT like the cheap Winchester white box with the red str
  5. I checked and the 1 is for magnums and 2 is other. The cut-out was on the 2. Thanks for the help. jd1
  6. Thanks guys. That was my next step, take out the plug and see which setting was which. I'll let you know how it turns out. I hope to shoot it again this week. Thanks for the quick reply. As a side note, I have an AK style stock on my Saiga, metal buttplate and all, and I have some good shoulder marks today. I had a good cheek weld and the shotgun tight into my shoulder but that buttplate is unforgiving, but it sure looks cool! Later, jd1
  7. OK, I finally went out with some friends and shot my conversion today. I had some Rem HV All purpose 7/8 oz 8 shot. My manual says Pos 1 is non-magnum and 2 is Magnum. Having remembered that you can mess up your shotgun shooting magnums on the wrong setting, I followed the manual. With the All Purpose, it would shoot the first round and not eject, 2nd round, same thing. Sometimes it would feed the last 3 of a 5 round string and sometimes the last 2, sometimes all 5 were singles. I switched the setting to 2 for magnum per the manual and shot some 3" Max Dram 1 1/4 oz 5 shot Turkey loads (

    You're more than welcome. I've not been on Saiga.com for a while but I found this post tonight. The nylon hole plugs are my one and only claim to fame and main contribution to the WECSOG curriculum. JD1
  9. I'm still waiting for my royalty check!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! jd1
  10. Check out this link http://www.rkengineeringco.com/eclip.htm Lowe's and Home Depot have them in their pieces and parts drawers in the fastener section. You'll need the 7/32 ones. It wouldn't hurt to get 2 packs of 2 in case one goes flying. I didn't lose one but came close. jd1
  11. I like the 7/32 e-clip idea. I had used 1/4 and filed them down but the 7/32 is perfect. jd1
  12. I'd have to look it up to be sure but you would need to convert pounds to US$. It is rusmilitary.com. Go to magazines. I believe he has more. They are 3" magazines not 2 3/4". Try this link http://www.rusmilitary.com/html/c-deact_magazines.htm jd1
  13. Ordered on 2.2.05 and arrived today on 2.17.05. Looks great. It's a little tight locking in but I'm sure it will loosen up. And it's extra length makes it easy to lock it in. And to top it off, my K Var pkg arrived today as well with a Romanian forward swept pistol grip and upper handguard and 2, count em 2, Romanian front sight bases. jd1
  14. Way to go Indy. Now it makes more sense to people. What's the saying, one picture is worth 1000 posts? Since this thread will be my forever claim to fame I must try to keep it alive as long as possible. jd1
