Makc 64 Posted September 16, 2003 Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 Would you like to cut the recoil of you Saiga in HALF for about $50??? Here is what you would need... 1. The New Hogue Recoil Pad! Info from Hogue: EZG Recoil Pad Medium size - Black (Product Code: 00720) "Hogue recoil pads use an exclusive base plate material that is super rigid and grinds easily without the cracking and checking problems that are so common with other brands. Because our base plate is so strong no wire or metal reinforcing is required, reducing the chance of delamination. The rigidity of the plate makes for a tight fit to the stock without gaps caused by bending and warping. Bonded to the base plate is a modern super soft elastomer that grinds easily and finishes cleanly." Hogue official page here! NOTE: You may grind this pad to fit the stock exactly or leave it as it is. I left mine alone - it is about 1/4 longer in the bottom and about 1/8 wider at the buttom end of the stock - It does not bother me... But if you think it will bother you, you would need to spend some time grinding... You can get this Recoil Pad directly from Hogue for $26.95 (Our local gunstrore "Dave's Gun Room" sells them for $24.95, so you might wanna look around first...) 2. The Factory Stock Adapter Plate I have just finished this part that will allow installation of a New Hogue Recoil Pad on the original factory Saiga stock! Click on the picture to enlarge!!! You can get it in Saiga-12.com shop for $15 3. Famous BlackJack Recoil Buffer $10.95 - FREE SHIPPING!!! ...well, I'm sure most of you know exactly what it is and what this thing does!!! You can NOW get a BLACKJACK buffer right here at Saiga-12.com as well! All together about $50-$55 The combination of these 3 things will lessen the recoil in almost a HALF!!!! I went to the range and fired my Saiga-12 – I heard the shot, but did not feel anything... My eyes almost popped out – I was amazed beyond belief!!! There were almost no recoil at all!!! In my opinion it was $50 well spent!!! I hope this info helps!!! Link to post Share on other sites

criswelg 0 Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Did any of you all ever add a muzzle brake to you Saiga 100- in 308 caliber? I have been looking at the MUSCLE Break. Link to post Share on other sites

goldenpony 61 Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Does a recoil pad affect the cycling of a Saiga 12? Link to post Share on other sites
bobabuee 29 Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 no , just don't use the recoil buffer pad they are no good... I use ati scorpion grip and ace 1 inch pad on aluminum Skeleton stock folder with small amount recoil no mussel brake yet. Link to post Share on other sites
WardenWolf 6 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Just why? My Saiga is the softest-recoiling shotgun I've ever seen. Granted, I did put the skeleton stock on it which reduced it a lot in addition to dramatically improving handling. I've shot 40 rounds of #00 buck in a single session without the slightest discomfort. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Wagnikov 186 Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Tune the gas system. It will be the softest shooting 12ga made. Like mag dumps on 1 1/8oz slugs feel like bird shot recoil. No buffer. IMHO this is the GREATEST advantage of the saiga line. I have a PSL I tuned the gas on. Shoots softer than my arsenal milled ak. Link to post Share on other sites
