After seeing Indy's post on his Kushnapup build for the S12, I finally got off the fence and ordered one. I will not go into the detail that Indy did as his observations and review were spot on and don't need to be repeated for the purpose of this post. I just wanted to add my comments on the build with the Saiga .223, as I encountered a couple of issues that I think were unique to using a .223 on the build.

I was at the range today and decided i had not wanted to fire off my last round, so i took my mag out of the rifle and tried pulling the bolt carrier back and it felt like it was wedged shut, i shot the round off and it functioned great.
