ak47junky 0 Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 I bought a S-12 from a gunshow last weekend.I haven't got a chance to take it to the range yet but when I took it apart yesterday to clean and inspect it I noticed that it had only 2 gas ports. I was just wondering what to expect from it Ive read about people with FTE problems when they have only 2 ports but I was wondering if anybody has a S-12 with 2 ports that works fine.Id hate to have to send it back to RAA.

Gossmann1 0 Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Sorry, I know this is my first post. I just picked mine up yesterday and it only has 1 port. Do I, A: call the guy I got it from and see if he will exchange it B: Shoot it and see C: Send it in? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BobAsh 582 Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 You can't necessarily see the ports, also. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Superhawk138 202 Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Like Bob is saying the ports may be tucked up to the front of the gas block. If the gun cycles it has some ports open. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ak47junky 0 Posted February 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Well i took my new S-12 out to the range today i used the cheap walmart ammo. Federal cycled 100% so did remington but winchester stovepiped every time i guess i will shoot it in my mossberg.This is my first saiga and i must say im hooked. I think saiga shotguns should have a warning similar to cialis because it may take longer then four hours for my erection to go away! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just stick to the federal, and remington and your ok, its not like win is that much easier on your wallet than either of those... Its funny cuz the win is really a fail...

Its funny cuz the win is really a fail... for me it's availability. i like to buy my ammo at farm n fleet. they only carry 100 packs of win, but they have better selection and prices on pistol and rifle ammo. the walmart closest to my house doesn't carry 100 packs at all. my gun cycles the cheapo win just fine now since i got i back from CGW.
