jasonstewart750 0 Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 My IZ-107 24" is being shipped as I type this..... I want to see what you folks think about a few items I believe i need to get what i want from this thing. 1. Extra Mags 100+ $ for an 8 rounder is insane. I'm thinking a few extra 5's will do just fine. The 10 rds are sold out, right? How much did they go for? 2. This Blackjack green "shock" absorber, does it really extend the life of the bolt? A few posts make the Saiga sound like a self destructive old Harley Davidson w/o the rubber engine mounts. 3. A sling I'm going to be doing alot of walking in the woods looking for tasty grouse and doing deer drives, any recomendations?? 4. Chokes It looks like eea is the way to go for chokes. It comes w/a "muzzle adapter". From what I understand it will work like a improved cylinder for shooting slugs. 5. Recoil pad I read on a previous post that the "limbsaver" is a good option. Thanks for the help!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AegisDei 2 Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Definitely save the money for the 10rnders. Perhaps pick up an extra 5-rnder or two since you'll primarily be hunting and not need high-cap. Get a black-jack buffer over a limb-saver. The Saiga is nearly indestructable, but your shoulder is not. For $10 you'll get a noticeable decrease in recoil and if it extends the life of the gun at all, it's worth it IMHO. If you still need more recoil reduction after the buffer, then the limb-saver is a great one. But I doubt it will be too bad unless you're doing a lot of slug shooting or heavy 3" steel shots. May hold off on it until you shoot it a bit and decide if you really need it. And good decision...Saigas rock. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kresk 10,063 Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 The longer barreled S-12's in the past have had a choked barrel and so they would not be threaded for other chokes. But if yours says it has a muzzle adapter and is threaded you can get a set of chokes from Rusmil, or Stanley's Pro Shop advertises choke sets and would be cheaper since they are not being shipped from overseas. EAA was the previous importer and they no longer carry Saiga chokes when I contacted them earlier this year. I'd second Aegis' recommendations also. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jasonstewart750 0 Posted October 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Is this the buffer I need? Does it need to modified for proper fit? http://www.blackjackbuffers.com/index.php?...products_id=180 Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It usually slips over the spring but rarely may need to be reamed just a bit to slip over. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cobra 76 two 2,677 Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Saiga-12! The Harley Davidson of AKs! Good call man! AGP definately for mags, of course you know you must first convert...you heathen! Yeah definately go for the buffer to save your rear block and bolt, your shoulder will be fine. Get a real AK sling, it's just proper. On the chokes, you can order the Russian ones or put that off for a little while and see what happens with the new stuff that may be comin out soon. It's already a definate that you can get a US made paradox soon. Recoil, It's a huge barrel and an adjustable gas system. You won't need a limbsaver but I hear they are very nice. Enjoy your new favorite weapon!...Heathen! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The 10 rds are sold out, right? How much did they go for? The $211.00 Saiga-12 eight round magazine With factory eight round magazines selling on eBay for $211.00 shipped I don't blame you at all. Saiga-12! The Harley Davidson of AKs! Thats not very nice. Mine doesnt leak oil , and the dirt bag stands in front of my S-12.

They both cost an arm & a leg compared to what they should (after the re-do) but they both give more than enough satisfaction for the outlay. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jasonstewart750 0 Posted November 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 well.... it showed up @ my FFL tuesday.....but....the feds wouldn't release the gun to me. I didn't disclose my SSN, so i'm sure that didn't help matters. I can pick it up tomorrow morning though! I'm curious to see how it groups w/o a choke. I havn't ordered any yet.

Your SSN is totally optional on the purchase form. I've left it blank on at least one occasion. I'd ask what the real problem is. Maybe there is someone else with the same name and physical description and without the SSN they are having problems distinguishing your identity.

98_1LE 0 Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 The beauty of having a CHL in Texas is that all you do is fill out the form, pay the lady, then chit chat a minute or two while she goes over the form and fills out her records. Takes about 10 minutes. Good luck! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Takes about 10 minutes. Good luck! The beausty of not needing a CHL in MO is all that you have to do is fill out the form, chit chat a minute or two while they call in the instant background check, pay the nice dealer, and then walk out with your long gun. Unfortunately, it ends up costing me a lot of money, because I usually walk out with something when I go into a gun shop.....oh well, I guess it's true when they say, "Freedom isn't free", but damn can it be fun. Going into a gun show: $ 7 Buying guns at the gun show: $400 to $1200 Walking out with your arms loaded with guns, and seeing the reactions of people in the parking lot who aren't going to the gunshow: PRICELESS Quote Link to post Share on other sites
