Biff Stroganoff 1 Posted May 14, 2022 Report Share Posted May 14, 2022 Can someone tell me what kind of choke comes on the Saiga 12 from the factory? I never thought about it until I decided to use it to kill varmints. I plan to use #4 shot at up to 60 yards, and I might try #6 on squirrels. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Carolina Shooters Supply sells them individually or in a set of three. https://www.carolinashooterssupply.com/SGM-SAIGA-12-Full-Mod-X-Full-CHOKE-SET-VEPR-12-p/sgm-s12-3pc-choke.htm CSS also sells a Saiga flash hider that is designed to take certain Winchester win-Chokes. https://www.carolinashooterssupply.com/CHOKE-ADAPTER-10-SLOT-SAIGA-FLASH-HIDER-VEPR-p/cncw-choke.htm Edited May 16, 2022 by ChileRelleno 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Biff Stroganoff 1 Posted May 18, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2022 Okay, so it's an open choke! Thanks for typing all that. Very helpful. Guess I won't have to hide the flash from squirrels and coons. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pedal2alloy 206 Posted May 29, 2022 Report Share Posted May 29, 2022 It depends on which version of S12, the earlier ones with the long barrel were full choke with no threads 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
