my762buzz 141 Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 (edited) Just got this today. I need to go test it out. The choke/wad retarder on the end is a separate piece. Edited November 15, 2008 by my762buzz Quote Link to post Share on other sites

my762buzz 141 Posted November 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 More info and PIX It's a basic barrel extension that threads onto the Saiga M22 threading and allows for any Remington Choke to be threaded onto the other end. A type of adapter. Very well made out of barrel stock. It also has ports as you can probably see 12 total. As soon as I got it, I screwed in a Wad Wizard. http://www.wadwizard.com/wadwizardchokes.htm I need to go and pattern my new set up. The barrel extension is a prototype that I am helping to evaluate for someone. I'm painting it and will soon enough pattern my choke/wad retarder attached to it.

rocinante 100 Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 What is the purpose and benefits of this? Duck hunting? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
my762buzz 141 Posted November 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 (edited) What is the purpose and benefits of this? Duck hunting? This allows adding a Remington choke without having to re-thread the barrel. There is a large variety of Remington chokes on the market. The same could be done for Win chokes. What benefits? Not having to modify the Saiga itself if you do not want to, but still allowing your Saiga to use a large variety of chokes that would not be compatible without either re-threading or this adapter. Chokes allow you to extend the usable range of your Saiga 12 shotgun using buckshot or birdshot. The polychoke has not worked nearly as good for me as other devices. Better/tighter patterns can be a good thing for distance in duck hunting, deer hunting, or even 3 gun matches. Not having to cut and re-thread your Saiga is really the biggest benefit. Its not just a duck hunting thing. Edited November 17, 2008 by my762buzz Quote Link to post Share on other sites

my762buzz 141 Posted November 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Interesting. Any production or pricing info? Sorry no details yet. I'm just helping evaluate. It will be offered on this forum from a vendor, but that's all I can say for now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
my762buzz 141 Posted December 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 (edited) I been testing out my extension all week. It works perfect. I threaded on a few different chokes and all is well. Here are 2 patterns I got with federal power shok. I just never could not get patterns like these with my old polychoke I used to have.

VanKiller 322 Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 I'm glad the extension is working out for you.

lobstah 0 Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 +1 on updates, I'm pretty intersted getting this setup for my S12. Polychoke is not cutting it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yoshi76 0 Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 What is the issue with the Polychoke? I've used them on other shotguns with good results but not the Saiga model. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I guess it doesn't give some hunters tight enough patterns? Imo, this extension/thread adapter would have to be a drastic improvement indeed to make it worth the increased length and necessity of carrying seperate chokes.

Imo, this extension/thread adapter would have to be a drastic improvement indeed to make it worth the increased length and necessity of carrying seperate chokes. Bingo. While I do think that the Poly-choke isn't as good as individual remchokes, Having all my chokes on my gun at all times is a BIG +1 for me. I could see how this extension/adaptor would be $.$ for hunters/clay shooters, but the Polychoke works fine for what I need. 3gun type competition. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It doesnt seem to tighten the pattern enough for trap. At 25-35 yrds, it does it's job fine, but at 50, its about the same as without it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lobstah 0 Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 I looked at Izhmash catalog and they have factory barrel extensions and adapters. I wonder if any of the importers are able to get their hands on those. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hmm, that's strange, I have an ancient one on an old remington model 11 and it works great. Is that your experience with good copper plated turkey or steel shot (shot that does not deform as much as plain lead). Just wondering because I was planning on getting one for my S12 I am getting back from Cadiz soon and use it for Turkey and deer. I don't really expect virgin honeyhole tight groups like from a extra full choke but I would hope the full setting would give a decently tight group with turkey shot at 30 yards.

lobstah 0 Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 That is actually a plain old #7 1/2 birdshot that i shot through it. I'm going to the range this saturday and i'll take some pictures for you at 25 yards. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lobstah 0 Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 Well, after range trip, the results were inconclusive At 25-27 yrds, a 2x3' poster board was covered in birdshot on all settings as well as without the choke. I noticed the shot spread was slighty tighter on the X-full closed setting , and it started spreading out after that. Coverage area stayed about the same on all settings.
