jayb 0 Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 I have some 2in centurion and even some 1 3/4 aguila slugs, any experience? A pump eats them fine, not sure they will cycle a auto. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jayb 0 Posted June 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Oh yea, should i stock up on 3in shells? Any benefit to them? Reliability issues? 2 3/4 seem most common. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

madmax4x4 68 Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 hey I got three 1 3/4 aguila to run in a row in a five round mag... But yes the answer is no. I have not tried the 2in but I would guess no. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChileRelleno 7,071 Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 (edited) 3in = Bad? No, 3" are just fine, gun is designed to fire them. Just make sure your using the lowest gas setting and OEM recoil spring. Not alot of added benefit, except perhaps for some hunting. I wouldn't shoot'em alot, as they can/will increase normal wear & tear. No, do not shoot anything less than 2 3/4"... The gun is NOT designed for'em... Safety first!

corbin 621 Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 I often wondered about having the 2" round at the very top of a magazine and the rest of the shells be regular 2.75" stuff. I would think that would help with loading the mag on a closed bolt....but as ChileRelleno said, safety first. It's not worth it. Corbin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shades_of_grey 1,092 Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Well, if you're gonna be trying to fire shells either shorter than 2 3/4" or longer than 3", just be sure someone's there to film it and put it on youtube for our entertainment! Seriously though, no, don't try it. 2 3/4" or 3" shells only for the Saiga-12. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jayb 0 Posted June 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 Thanks guys, ill keep the shorts for the pump. I just boult them to experiment with. The 2in 00bk centurions add 1 extra round in a tube mag so you can roll with 10 rounds in a tact pump. The 1 3/4 slugs let u carry 11, very low recoil and accurate @50yd. Not all pumps will cycle them either, winchester does while a mossberg wont. of course in the saiga mag they dont serve any purpose anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
