sks fan 0 Posted March 20, 2003 Report Share Posted March 20, 2003 Congrats! Just picked up the same model myself. Can't wait to get it out & shoot it. Just bought a case of S&B 00 buck. What are you planning on feeding yours? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
XrefruS 0 Posted March 24, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2003 I took it to the indoor range last week to try'er out. I imagine that it wasn't the best idea for my first magazine but I loaded Remington Slugs in it . After putting some ice on my shoulder I switched to Remington 00 buck shot. Very nice! This is my first shotgun so I don't know too much about the 12ga ammo. I'm learning though.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Messiah Jones 2 Posted April 10, 2003 Report Share Posted April 10, 2003 I just bought the 22" barrel non-threaded model. The stupid gun-shop-owner told my newbie arse that there is no such thing as a threaded barrel that could fire slugs... Plese lemme know about shotty barrels , threads, and chokes!!! Is it true you can have threads/slugs? I'm such a newbie! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Goodman 0 Posted April 11, 2003 Report Share Posted April 11, 2003 Hey Messiah Jones, We're most all new to Saigas! Saiga DOES sell a smooth bore shotgun with a threaded barrel. I've heard varying opinions on whether or not you should use chokes (a threaded accessory) with slugs. Personally I stay with rifled slugs and no choke. CDNN sells a short (19 inch?) threaded barrel adjustable sight saiga for CHEAP. kick your dealer's ass if possible and get what you want. www.cdnninvestments.com call the telephone number to find out what is available. Choke tubes are here: http://www.eaacorp.com/parts/saigaaccessor...ies/index.shtml Good luck! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

XrefruS 0 Posted April 14, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2003 It says in the manual that you can use slugs with the 0.0mm choke that it comes with from the factory. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
October_V 0 Posted April 15, 2003 Report Share Posted April 15, 2003 I picked up my 19" with no threads a couple days ago and it's fine with all sorts of slugs. Have had to use a hammer and punch to move my non-adjustable sights but it's good now. I must say that the 00buck is much like throwing sand into the wind but I got mine for bear protection anyway.
