Guest glockzilla20 Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 Hi folks, great forum! I expect a 12ga to arrive this week! Will I have problems with the mag? I ve read a bunch or reports how difficult it is to operate the mag for the first time. Or is it just a matter of being clumsy? G20 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KySoldier 2 Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 I don't recall my magazine on my S-12 being hard to use. I think you will be delightfully impressed with the weapon! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bvamp 604 Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 so you have to push the rounds down to get one in it, its easy enough. take a good look into the magazine before you load it the first time is all...there is a channel for the hull rims to fit into...

Guest Guest Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 I have found that a full clip hits the bolt follower.It will snap in with a good whack(these are russian) Or hold bolt back with thumb of right hand and install mag with left.As soon as I get the chance to install BHO (bolt hold open) this will be even easier.

Bvamp 604 Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 yeh it is about 100 times easier with the bolt hold open that I have than just jamming it into the mag well...if only there were another part with a spring on it so it would work like AR's do and hold open on the last shot....one could only wish, right?

KySoldier 2 Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 I love my bolt hold open, wish my AK had it too so I could tell at a glance it was safe! I'm still considering putting the AR-15 vertical grip on my Saiga 12...you know, the one on blackjackbuffers. Not sure if recoil would cause problems though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shotgun_lobotomy 0 Posted May 23, 2004 Report Share Posted May 23, 2004 i have a bho but i rarly use it anymore, i have no problem loading my mags into the gunwith it closed, only time i use the bho is at the trap range cause they dun like me standing on line with a loaded gun untill its time to shoot, so i just leave off the mag and drop a shell in till its my turn, throw it up on the shoulder and pop the release right as i yell PULL haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
