  1. I've got a pressure switch as well. You adjust it by turning the tube. I indexed the wire to where the 1/2 numbers were before I installed it. I have it on the "mostly closed" setting for full power loads. I know that turning it 180 degrees gets me the other selection, if I ever happen to have bean-bags.
  2. If the 10 round guys dont get their stuff together, obviously there will be a huge market for aftermarket extensions for the 5 rounders.
  3. That gun is so obviously physically impossible it boggles the mind. You probably could get rimless 12 gauge sized shells to feed around a corner like that, but it would require a much larger magazine than on a P90. More realistically, I have always wondered why no one ever made a helical magazine shotgun kind of like a calico machine gun.
  4. Wow that is even more vaporous than the mags for the saiga-12, a gun that has been in commercial production for several years already.
  5. Jack and shit, and jack left town.
  6. I would totally be interested if we had some mags to put in the magwells. Right now I would be happy for any highcap mags, regardless of what I had to do to make them fit the gun.
  7. The problem is that sporting purposes is utterly meaningless because it is open to a number of interpretations, all of which raise even more prickly questions: -if "sporting purpose" includes self defense, all weapons are allowed, so it literally isnt a restriction -if sporting purpose includes any weapon is used for at least one competition, this will include an enormous array of weapons due to the fact that there is an enormous range of combat related competition in this country like 3-gun, knob creek etc -if sporting purpose only includes certain sports and then only guns that "are suita
  8. Hard case in a box for the win. Thats how I ship all my AKs.
  9. According to an admin law professor at FSU I spoke with, judges generally frown upon agencies giving people written opinions and then prosecuting them for following that opinion in good faith. So getting it in writing and holding on to it is pretty much the golden rule about anything out of the norm.
  10. That conversation isnt legally binding. The ATF has successfully argued in court that mossberg pistol grip shotguns are essentially destructive devices because they have pistol grips. (http://www.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs/usr/wbardwel/public/nfalist/us_v_tomlinson.txt) Parts count and sportingness are inherently connected. If the shotgun was considered sporting it wouldnt need to worry about parts count. Destructive devices are [all shotguns] except sporting shotguns, but obviously this isnt intepreted in an even halfway consistent manner. There isnt even a definition of "sporting purposes" a
  11. My saiga is technically US made. It has a few russian parts, but Tony brought me way under the 10 part limit.

    WHY???

    You need to headpsace off something. Obviously shotguns can't headspace off the shoulder because there is no such thing as a bottlenecked shotgun cartridge. On cylindrical handgun shells, you can headspace off the mouth of the case. Shotgun shells, while cylindrical, are all of different lengths and few are made of anything as sturdy as brass. It wouldnt take a lot for an underlength shell to get stuffed beyond the reach of the extractor or for an overlength one to get stuck in the chamber. Which leaves the two remaining choices of headspacing off a belt or a rim. A lot of early
  13. There isnt a point to the new rule beyond: ATF's business model is founded on enforcing rules. The more rules there are, and the more complex and difficult to understand they are, the better the ATF does financially, because they need more resources to enforce the rules. If you happen to be a person targeted by these rules, the ATF will screw with you because criminal laws are all about screwing with criminals. The main problem is that these laws arent criminalizing behavior most people consider criminal. Most lawyers probably wouldnt consider it criminal either until they got thei
  14. I don't think a AOW would qualify, I think it has to be classified as a handgun. I'm not sure though and could be wrong. If I was legally able to carry one, I would get one. Imagine pulling that out instead of your wallet. Like " No, give me yooourrr wallet bitch!!!' Uh, in Florida, it is a concealed weapon permit. Also, AOWs are technically "smoothbore pistols" not shotguns. I left a message on Tony's machine a few hours ago about getting an AOW pistol before getting home to read his post in this thread.
  15. Honestly I dont know why either. The saiga receiver is not really that different from a regular Ak receiver. I mean, if I'm not careful I can put all my AK parts into the saiga receiver by accident. I dunno, I figure someone will get around to making AOWs eventually. I wouldnt mind one of those.

    FRAG-12

    203 might be seen as overkill. Plus if they already have shotguns in ample supply from the civilian market, why bother with 40mm? They may have decided that a soldier with 50x 12g frag shells would be more effective than a soldier with 10x 40mm frag shells. I would personally like a 40mm launcher on my AK for the sake of completeness, but obviously we have stupid laws that prevent that. I think that a 12 ga grenade round would be great because it would really strike at the heart of what makes a weapon a DD and what makes it "especially suitable for sportuing purposes." A shotgun that is u
  17. But even high capacity shotguns are useless in all but the most close range combat scenarios. If I were an LEO about to impose some form of tyranny upon an unwilling public, I would be more concerned about the intermediate caliber rifles that will go through my body armor than the shotgun that only has an effective range of 50 yards and cant penetrate armor. It is just a stupid law, there is no logic to it. Sporting purposes itself is entirely contrary to the purpose of the 2nd amendment, as is the concept of Congress attacking gun rights through taxation and prohibition. We need more pro
  18. Saiga has a slight problem with mag loading and bolt hold open. Striker-12, depending on version had severe problems with either: -trigger pull, because the cylinder was like a handgun and was rotated by trigger action. Due to the large mass of a cylinder holding 12 rounds of 12 gauge, trigger pull was reportedly abusrdly high. Also, a hangfire would probably go off in the cylinder and possibly wound the shooter. -in later versions that were fed by a rotating spring, loading was slow because the spring had to be wound up for each magazine. This basically made the gun a paperweight after
  19. That isnt a new drum mag, that is an old drum mag for a USAS12. Or is that a video of you, firing a drum you just acquired? So frustrating waiting for high cap mags for the saiga.
  20. Hey you never told me you did suppresors Tony.
  21. Its a 7 round gun. They made both of the semiauto shotguns do half as much damage as the pump shotguns. A soldier has 100 health, slightly more for heavy armor classes. If I remember correctly: 8 pellets per shot: Saiga-12: 12 damage per pellet DAO-12 (streetsweeper): 12 damage per pellet Pancor Jackhammer: 15 per pellet Pump shotguns: 25 per pellet They nerfed the damage for the auto shotguns because of game balance issues. As shotguns go, the Saiga-12 is one of the better guns in the game, though I never use it since I unlocked the Jackhammer, which fires full auto and doe
  22. I'm confused, how can you make a full auto lower for it? Are you going to make some sort of registered sear gun or something?
