gauge 0 Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 (edited) The rubber Magpul pull-assist can store one round to quickly "pop" in an empty mag. ....... the handle.......and the stock tube are hollow. -lots of space for anything! 135 lumens for 3.5hrs too. Fenix P3d seems like a great light to try later! Thanks for the comments ....after the stock tube foam gets beat up, I want to do the "para-cord deal" wrapped around the tube.

gauge 0 Posted April 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 (edited) Its the 24" barrel version. Whats a light stock saiga 12, 24" weight w/o magazine? (I never did a before & after). I can get a rough est., but I would rather wait for a better scale. (really avg. bathroom scale here). Im after a 19" next, than I can have 2 saigas, with the insurance of spare parts. I kept it 24" because I wanted to hit things with a slug from afar. At 40-60 cents per slug, I frown with a missed slug shot.

Sorry, Buckshot and slugs reach their maximum acceleration from a 18" barrel. As a matter of fact the extra length of your long barrel might impart drag, costing you a few FPS. There is a reason that military and law enforcement guns run 18" to 20"... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gauge 0 Posted April 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 There is a reason that military and law enforcement guns run 18" to 20"... I agree that a Military shotgun would be just plain shorter in general. It never occurred to me that the 24" would hurt anything other than shorter tactical stuff. Most accurate hunting style shotguns sport the longer barrels. Maybe we'll see what others can share on the topic of smoothbore slug's accurracy in the 24" vs. 19" Saiga 12 shotgun.

stiletto raggio 20 Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 So how is the stock holding up? I wondered about the Ultralight's durability under shotgun recoil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shades_of_grey 1,092 Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 So how is the stock holding up? I wondered about the Ultralight's durability under shotgun recoil. I'm sure it's holding up fine. I've used one on my S-12 for over a year with no issues. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stiletto raggio 20 Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 PA, How is length of pull with that set-up? I know the pignose and folding stock adapter take up a little room. The SOCOM on my E-Tac build has a 1" recoil pad, so I use it fully collapsed. In light of that, I have been thinking of getting the short UL stock or maybe the ARFX-E. I would be installing it on an FN TPS, not a Saiga (for now) and I would like to keep it to a manageable length. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My S-12's total length of pull, (lop is set by cutting this stock's tube to the desired length), is ~14.5" ; including the adapter, folding mech, and 1" Ace recoil pad, (great pad btw). This length works very well for me on a 12-ga, I wouldn't want it any shorter. ymmv. Edited May 13, 2010 by post-apocalyptic Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stiletto raggio 20 Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 I just measured the LOP on my Saiga with the Socom and it is about 13.75. I think I am going to measure LOP on the TPS when it is adjusted to the length I am comfortable with and do the math to see what I need to get there. Thanks a bunch!

I have the stock in question on my Saiga 12. The folding mech adds about 1 inch to the length. I found the LOP of the uncut stock to be a bit long so I took it down a couple inches. Shoot any slugs with that stock? I was thinking about getting that a while back and recall seeing one vendor website that stated they don't recommend using this stock with slugs. I shoot 3" slugs on the regular, no issues at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dannyfantasy2000 68 Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 No doubt, it's a good stock and I like it. I like OP's idea about paracord. I might try that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
