dharmabum 0 Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Got my first Saiga-12. Decided to get TAC-47's auto plug straight off and that was a wise choice I think. My first attempt at firing was a mag full of Federal 7 1/2's in 2 3/4. Fed and fired flawlessly the first go around. Then loaded a mag of Winchester HD slugs and they fired flawlessly. What a relief. After all the posts I'd read on the hassles with tuning the old plugs for different rounds, it's nice just to forget that and bang away. Now if any one knows an attachment that relieves sore shoulders for Saiga newbies.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gregomega 929 Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Eliminating the 1 or 2 setting hassle and sometimes 1,2,3,&4 hassle depending I like the Tac47auto. Works great for me. As for a limbsaver, it depends really on what type of stock you have. CSS sells numerous styles from ar pads to ak to tromix limbsaver kind. Whatever stock you have, Im sure CSS will have a recoil pad for it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

yooper14.5 84 Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 There's many ways to reduce recoil. there's enidine buffers, recoil pads, muzzlebrakes, mid barrel comps, mercury recoil absorbers etc. PM me if you want to know more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jdtravers 637 Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 The problem is not the recoil, it is how you shoulder (present) the shotgun. DO NOT pull the gun tight into your shoulder. It will beat the shit out you. Use an aggressive, weight forward stance and just use the shoulder for a reference to find your cheek weld and take the recoil in the arms, like a piston. When you learn proper technique it will allow you to get back on target much quicker and not beat you around. Regards, Jack 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'll go back and try your advice. AND check out some of these other ideas. Dharmabum Quote Link to post Share on other sites

geepelton 105 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 I like to shoot my Mosin Nagant first, so my shoulder is numb before I shoot the S-12. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Razr 23 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Autoplug plus M4 Stock with enhanced recoil pad = no more bruised shoulder. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
20nickels 21 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 I also am enjoying the Autoplug. Local multigun club likes to mix in slugs with low brass shells. An MD20 drum and the Autoplug makes for a very potent combination that really turns heads. As far as recoil, Right now I'm sporting a steel Romanian side folder... ouch.

My triangle folder (aka "Punisher") pales in comparison to the all-out brutality of the Romy folder. I had one on my first S12.... for a couple of sessions Quote Link to post Share on other sites
