Makc 64 Posted August 27, 2003 Report Share Posted August 27, 2003 This is a picture of the conversion that wildmann43 has done! The bbl was cut down 13.5", then the sight and the muzzle break were installed, silver-soldered to be non-removable! Now the over-all length is still at legal 18", but what a look!!! I love it! That is the way to do it!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gunfighter84 0 Posted August 27, 2003 Report Share Posted August 27, 2003 Great looking gun, if I hadnt perminantly attached my weaver rail I'd do it. As it stands I may end up buying the break and putting it on mine... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ak01q 0 Posted August 27, 2003 Report Share Posted August 27, 2003 (edited) Yes, it looks great. Now back to what's really important, did you ever get the parts we need to do this? Edited August 27, 2003 by ak01q Quote Link to post Share on other sites
USMC_LB 4 Posted August 27, 2003 Report Share Posted August 27, 2003 Looks great ! What is the shortest length anyone has ever used on a Saiga-12 and it still function properly ? I am thinking about registering mine as a SBS ( short-barreled-shotgun) with the ATF and would like to go as short as possible without affecting its function. Thanks, LB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Blackjack 1 Posted August 31, 2003 Report Share Posted August 31, 2003 How much recoil did the brake reduce? Is that a threaded sight post? I'd like to still be able to use my chokes sometimes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ak01q 0 Posted August 31, 2003 Report Share Posted August 31, 2003 Yes, very good news. In case you haven't heard it, thanks a lot for all your work here! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wildmann43 0 Posted September 9, 2003 Report Share Posted September 9, 2003 You know, I hadn't shot it since I did the conversion. I've only got a couple of different loads, 00buck, 7 1/2, S&B rubber ball, Def Tec Rubber Baton & Paint marking Baton. I'll compare it with a friends 22" Saiga-12.

wildmann43 0 Posted October 2, 2003 Report Share Posted October 2, 2003 I finally went shooting yesterday. Mostly practiced speed shooting with WallyWorld big box o' #7 1/2 shot & S&B 00Buck. No hiccups or failures. The darn thing will bump fire too, but I could only do 3rd bursts. Not 2rd or 4-5rds. It's only slightly faster than speed shooting. I'll add an M60 style sling & try again. The special application ammo is low pressure & won't cycle the action, but I made a surprise discovery. The DefTec (marking) baton I used was given to me as a 'paint' marking round, even though it is marked practice. It turns out to be a zytel fin stabilized baton. It's makes a good bang when fired. And it 'marks' whatever it hits with what looks like a small pox vaccination scar. Oak 2x6's, industrial blue plastic 55gal drums, even trees had the bark knocked off & the underlying core dimpled. It's bad, probably lethal at close range. The rubber DefTec baton was reasonably quiet, to fast to be seen in flight, but didn't knock the bark off the trees or dent the drum. South American Riot control 'stinger' rounds didn't do anything visible to anything but oak leaves at close range. Oh, the welded muzzle attachment rings after firing. No big deal, most won't hear it anyway. On non-permanantly threaded barrels, it probably won't do it either. I recently got a buffer from Makc, it's going in soon. I definately need a bolt hold-open too, as fast reloads weren't. Now, do I want to add that 37mm launcher too? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wildmann43 0 Posted October 2, 2003 Report Share Posted October 2, 2003 DOH! I forgot to test my weapon with the 00buck on the #1 gas setting! I guess I'll have to go shooting again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
