If your shells are jamming, it is most likely because you have not installed a wedge on your mags' follower which improves the angle of the shells entry into the chamber breech. You should install such a wedge in all 3 inch capacity type S-20 magazines. ~Gary Edited March 18, 2010 by Nailbomb Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cobra 76 two 2,677 Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 Hmmm...that's strange. I came up with the idea for those wedges by using them in my Russian 8rd mags (and the 5s). All mine work great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

All mine work great. Yup, i bought these from you a few years ago. I finally figured out which shot shell's to use in my gun, so i should try it again, but every now and again, it'll jam a slug into the back of the chanmber, and both mag's (8rnd corrected and uncorrected) act the same, they'll cycle as they see fit. The only ONLY shot shell that will cycle 100% is the remington elcheap-o shot shell's sold at walmart. They come in a 100rnd "value pack" the spec's are... 2 3/4lenght, 2 1/2 Dram EQ. 1200 ft/sec 7/8oz shot 7 1/2 shot They are easy to ID by opening the box and grabbing a shell, they have rib's running the lenght of the shell (not around) and are yellow in color.

Yep that's mostly what I use when not shooting slugs. My gun eats it up. I haven't shot the 20 as much since I started doing so much with the 12s. I need to take it out again with those 8 rd mags and make sure everything's still running good. If you are still having issues with the wedges, and they aren't ammo related, let me know. I found some new stuff to make them out of which may work better. I just need to turn some out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madtdogs 0 Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 I can't get any of the cheap shells to function at all The only shot shell's that work in my gun AT ALL are the cheap remington's. This is after i've tried every trick ever posted on these forum's. From the 1911 pistol recoil spring, to cutting sprial's out of it, then letting the gun sit for 2-3month's with the bolt held completely open. Nothing work's. Except these cheap shell's. One issue i am having is.... When i shoot slug's the hammer doesnt "cock". After the first round goes off, the following cannot fire even though the shell has completely ejected and the action has cycled the new one in. I have to "half cycle" the action to get the hammer to reset, then it'll fire only 1 more only to repeat the process. This problem only ocures with slug's, never with shot shell's. Any idea's?

Cobra 76 two 2,677 Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 I'm sure you have already tried changing the gas setting...maybe look into trying gunfixr's gas plug. It gives a wider range of adjustment. Also try swapping the recoil spring back to the original when you shoot slugs. And be sure and really lean into it. Limp wristing these things when they are already finicky is not good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
captcave 1 Posted November 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 mag came in today and I found some 3" shells at dicks, so maybe tomorrow I'll get to try it out. Got a turkey shoot to go to next friday, of course I'm gonna be the oddball Quote Link to post Share on other sites
corbin 621 Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 SOLD OUT. I'm looking forward to hearing more about these, or any other 20 ga extended mag for that matter. Corbin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madtdogs 0 Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Also try swapping the recoil spring back to the original when you shoot slugs. And be sure and really lean into it. Though i didnt switch the springs, i did have good luck with it hunting this past week. I assume the additional padding my 5 layer's of clothing gave allowed just enough dampening, it cycled perfect every shot, everytime. My S-20 bagged it's first buck opening morning.

Cobra 76 two 2,677 Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Awesome! Nice shootin! Most people don't flinch or weak shoulder it when there's a deer in the sights. Maybe that made all the difference? Or were you not using the problem mags anyway? Just wondering... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe that made all the difference? Or were you not using the problem mags anyway? Just wondering... I was using the factory 5rnd mag, the 2 3/4 slug's would usually cycle alright in both mag's. The problem i was having was with the hammer wouldnt cock after each shot, but with my heavy cloths on, it seemed to work fine. Another "thing" i noticed, the cycling action is very "knochy" on my S-20, compaired to either of my bro's S-12's... Just seem's like it might contribute to a cycling issue.

Dutchkma 0 Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 I had the Saiga 20 out today to see if it would pattern well enough for a turkey hunt. The 3" shells [Remington #6] ran flawlessly. 2 3/4 reloads, not so good. I ordered 2 of the 8 rounders with the plan of some 3 gun fun. I managed to special order 6 boxes of some 3" shells and plan on reloading, I have a MEC 600 Jr that I have set up just for doing 3 inch. I'll post reload results after I can confirm reliability.
