kstevenson 2 Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Was this for a 20 or a 12? I've emailed them previously and was told they only make them for the 12. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bartertownshakedown 1 Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Was this for a 20 or a 12? I've emailed them previously and was told they only make them for the 12. Plugs are interchangeable on a 12 and a 20. Not sure about a 410. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This wonderful device fixed my fte/ftc problems!! what loads are you able to shoot now? And what brands/loads were giving you trouble? The only ammo that would cycle reliably before were Winchester slugs. It didnt like ANY type of shot. Now it cycles Remington Bird Shot as my low end bulk ammo just fine.

gunfrog 1 Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Have you compared how far its ejects the low brass bird shot rounds, compared to slugs or buckshot? In theory they should eject about the same distance. I am thinking of getting one for 3 gun matches. The new trend is to have you shoot slugs and bird shot on the same stage, and this device if it works will be really convenient. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Redragonfire 0 Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 How many Saiga-20 owners have a Tac-47 Auto plug installed on thier gun? Reason I'm asking is I really want one but am hesitant because after searching all the forums I havent come up with any definite "yes it will work on a S20 for sure" So far only djplaguedaddy has posted any sucess about this. I wish we could get a definite answer from Tac-47. If it was confirmed here I would order one ASAP!!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wish we could get a definite answer from Tac-47. If it was confirmed here I would order one ASAP!!!!!! Have you tried actually picking up the phone and calling Tac-47? Have you thought about the fact that there are some S-20s out there that it may not work in, or that won't work (as is,) no matter what kind of plug you put in them? If they post on a public forum that their plug will work in every S-20 then they have to stand behind that. Why don't you just listen to the people who go out of their way to post their own experiences with things, and then go buy one? If it doesn't work then sell it to someone else, or figure out what's wrong with your own gun that keeps it from working. I don't know about you, but it irks the shit out of me when I go out of my way to post my honest experiences with a product to try and help folks, then someone turns around and demands proof, or verification from someone else. It's the same as calling me a damn liar. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The new trend is to have you shoot slugs and bird shot on the same stage, and this device if it works will be really convenient. I just got another one for one of my Saigas a few weeks ago. Finally had time to tune it Sunday and once it hit the sweet spot I mixed mags of Fed Bulk 8s, Buckshot, Slugs, and Rem Game load 7 1/2s. Every one ejected into the same pile about 4-6 feet away except for the Rem Nitro Turkey 4s that went about a foot further. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Deadeye 325 Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 I turn mine upside down to run 3 inch rounds on my 12 seems to be fine so far or am I screwing up ? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wagnikov 186 Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 Just recently expanded the saiga line with the 20ga! So with the stellar results I had with my s12 and auto plug(AFTER the gun would run bulk wm/from the hip/with a drum/while chewing gum and walking) I am a lifetime believer in tac47. Soo, naturally I search the forums, find this thread and sweet auto plug fits 20ga. I call around, seem to be out of stock. Call tac47 to see if still in production, the said they have some ready to assy just waiting on the springs. Cool! So while I'm on the ph I confirm "these also fit the s20? Right" that gentleman wast sure so he asks(ph set down noise in background) he comes back on and replies cleanly "nope, these are just for the 12ga" ????? Well.....dug in the safe when I got home and this is what I found Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gunfun 3,931 Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 I turn mine upside down to run 3 inch rounds on my 12 seems to be fine so far or am I screwing up ? IMO, nope, you are doing what makes the most sense. What brands have you tried. My experience was that with the way my guns are tuned, some 3" shells would run and some were hit and miss, so I added a detente and a little more relief for gas flow, and everything i have run since is ejecting just right. Each gun will vary, so it makes total sense to me. Yours is probably gassed a little hotter than mine, or maybe you didn't run some of the borderline 3" ammo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deadeye 325 Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 good info i cant see it hurting anything . but i dont run that much 3 inch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MIKE20GA 11 Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 "nope, these are just for the 12ga" ????? well, wouldn't you know it ...........

magsite20 1,664 Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 had one in a 12 and in a 20 they worked fine in both, maybe I had the early special edition ones for gauge optional. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wish we could get a definite answer from Tac-47. If it was confirmed here I would order one ASAP!!!!!! We market it for the s12. We have and do put them on the s20s that we build. We have tried them on several and they work fine. We do not market it for the 20 because there are many under gassed guns out there, and the Autoplug would not be the magic fix. The autoplug regulates between high and low brass, and uses the gases efficiently Cliff Evans. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MIKE20GA 11 Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 ahhh........, I see Cliff is a smart man too ! Now I can sleep better knowing the skinny on the auto-plug and it's use in the 20 ga. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wagnikov 186 Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 I'm new here so let me explain; I have mooched soo much useful info from this awesome forum that I now feel deeply obligated to give back. I hope to share my experiences, and discoveries. This was one of those. Cliff awesome product. I can't imagine a Saiga shotgun without one( I have an arsenal .410 and don't like it as much because I can't install a Auto-plug) tac47 will not make your girlfriend prettier, your boss give you a raise and finally appreciate you, or allow you find the kettle of golden 22lr at the bottom of the rainbow! And it won't profile your hammer/carrier/bolt/rails, or verify your gas ports and remove/drill appropriate holes, (why would you want it to! I love that part!) BUT enough on that. Here's what it HAS allowed me to do.......mix any round,in any mag, in any order and pull the trigger repeatedly. If that's not enough. Previously I could run 125-150 before the gas block was so full of sh@$ that the carrier was held back! After the auto-plug, I ran 700 rounds(yes I was counting) with no issuers! Interesting thing happens when you bleed off excess gas. It take carbon/wadding/fouling with it! The grooves in the plug eventually fill and create a 100% seal. It gets better with use! Cliff don't apologize or undersell your product because there's stupid people in this world. It does what no other plug can, and it does it well! When I said grooves fill in, I was referring to the puck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MIKE20GA 11 Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 yes, i am 1 of those stupid people trhat was asking repetedly if the thing would work on a 20 guage - can't really justify my stupidity-i'm just so damn stupid Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wagnikov 186 Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Lol mike, asking question is a sign of intelegence. I was referring to lazy people with unrealistic expectations, because there is no pharmaceutical "saiga" pill that fixes everthing. But that's what I love about this platform. It's challenging. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

saltydecimator 482 Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 i ran one the 20 ga i been runnin but ports were still too small. sooo, upsized em but havent tried again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cav01c14 4 Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 On my s20 I actually had to file the barrel a little bit so that I could get it to thread properly. Only took a little material off but got it to thread but still was having issues with fte. I opened up the ports on mine just haven't tried it out again since. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
