i don`t have a saiga 12 yet,but am i correct in stating that a gunfixer gas is an adjustable gas setting and the twister puck is a part of the gas piston(end pice?);if not what is it and what does it do?nice video shoot!your shotgun worked flawlessly!looks like you have a great combination!

So it'll cycle cheap birdshot with the plug on the most restrictive setting? That would be way overgassed, wouldn't it? What happens when you shoot buckshot or slugs?

[jcmacconnell 25]

Bob......the gunfixr gas plug is an adjustable gas regulator. The factory plug has 2 settings on it. Setting 1 is for high base loads (buck and slug) and setting 2 is for cheap bird shot (stuff with not a lot of powder to cycle the action). The twister puck is a puck that goes into the gas cylinder and when a round is fired the gas pushes the puck against the bolt carrier and cycles the action. I have had it for a while and I think the only real benefit is that it cleans out the gas cylinder pretty good while firing. The Gunfixr plug however is great in that it has 4 settings a opposed to 2 so you can really tailor your saiga to what kinda shells you are firing.

 

As for the other post what I meant to say was that I had the plug on the setting which allows the least amount of gas into the gun. That is why I thought it was really good that it worked on that setting with Winchester Universal Wally World crap

 

Thanks

The reduced power spring is for use with only 2 3/4 shells correct?

Correct....It is for use with only 2 3/4 shells. I am only going to use it with cheap bird shop. I will swap out to the factory spring if I am going to shoot heavy 2 3/4 buck or slug or 3" Mag

I'm no guru, but I don't think the gun being able to cycle the cheapest, weakest shells on the most restrictive gas setting is a good thing. I'm wondering if the reduced power spring isn't unnecessary in your gun. I don't think you should be able to cycle the weakest loads on the most restrictive gas setting. I suspect it would cycle just fine on a more open setting with the regular spring installed. That might allow you to swap between bird, buck and slug with a twist of a knob, like the system was designed to do, instead of having to go in and change a spring when you wanted to change ammo. Just my 2/100ths.

That's pretty much exactly what I was going to say.

+1 to statements above. You dont want to be able to shoot the lightest loads with "the plug on the setting which allows the least amount of gas into the gun."
