AJ Dual 43 Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 What is the ammo that's pictured with it? All brass hulled 12ga slugs of some sort, obviously, but any info would be welcome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

All brass hulled 12ga slugs of some sort, obviously, but any info would be welcome. This look like a 12 Ga rifle ammo Any info ? Is it possible to make them from 12 Ga shotgun shells and shoot from a S-12 ? Guns look great. IcemanIceland Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Castalia 19 Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 (edited) Looks like MagTech 12guage brass and a cast slug. Castalia Loading dies are available from RCBS. Part# 99060. Casting molds are available from Lyman.

evlblkwpnz 3,418 Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 I know I'm biased, but Robert just built this gun for himself, 11 inch with all aluminum parts done in pewter and some points on the end of the handguard so you can breach with it or poke the guy in the eye when you run out of ammo! Doug OK, this one is #2 on my list of beautiful S12s. I'm kind of a traditional guy and that is why the Krink 12 makes me feel the warmest and fuzziest Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nailbomb 10,221 Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Me gun. Pretty nice. You need a red dot, something done to the charging handle(unless your a lefty), the VFG moved back a bit(IMHO) and possibly a safety mod. With your grip have you seen what Jack Travers has in the manner of a standard remington safety for the AR style grips? Overall though nice ergonomics. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lbsrdi 1,078 Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 I have to agree about the traditional AK look. Every time I see one I get extremley jealous. I like my current set up but one day it will have traditional AK furnature. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

danklab 57 Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 This is one of the nicest I have ever seen. Just about as perfect as it gets. There are a lot of great S-12's posted on these forums though. I want those slugs too! I'm tempted to invest in the reloading equipment just to make those for myself. Just for good measure, I'll throw mine in the mix.. cause I like my 2 tone setup. I do have a great appreciation for the classic look though. Cobra's blonde is definitely one of the nicest. I would like for my next S-12 to look something like that. theres been a lot of guns I've found influential.BobAsh's SBS... Thanks bro. I designed that one in my head after seeing hundreds of different configurations built. Of course, guns are just like cars and women; everybody has different tastes and that's a good thing! I agree with that 100%. I think a nice gun project satisfies the same region of the brain as a car project. The difference for me is that I don't have the time, resources, tools, cash, or space to do work/restorations on cars. I can however, afford to drop a few hundred on a gun from time to time and invest a couple hours here and there on it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
saltydecimator 482 Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Plenty of great looking S12s out there and nice products to bolt on them. The big question with all of them is, does the fucker run? I don't care if it has paint or not and if the furniture is made of dried dog turds as long as it will run right and stay together doing so. Lol, that's good stuff right there!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mephis 82 Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 (edited) Ideally, 14" barreled, Kvar forend, AK sight conversion, and regular kvar furniture. I have rather simple tastes. Granted that by the end of the day when you built a gun to those specs, you'd have quite a penny in it. Shame that arsenal doesn't do one like that already.

I was hoping I could get you to post some all out Saiga 12 hoard pics in my "hoard" thread. I'm sure you have one hell of a mag collection too and you always seem to give a little peek of some of the rarer items that us newer guys have never seen. Done yet?

I have over $2200 (the gun was only $519) in mine and it's just a basic conversion with Tapco T6 stock. Of course, almost half of that is magazines, so that probably doesn't count FTS Edited August 15, 2011 by FL Thunder Stick Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Casting molds are available from Lyman. Part# 2654012 Loading Data is in the Lyman shotshell reloading manual http://www.sportsman...a.aspx?a=518023 Oooh. Good info. Although those look like some sort of copper jacketed slug. But that Magtech brass is a good start for sure. I wonder if those loads are just for show? Any load that a Saiga would survive would have lots of empty case capacity, being crimped and protruding from the end like a traditional centerfire cartridge, rather than seated inside, with a wad etc. taking up case/shell volume. So I'm still not sure what's going on with that ammo in the picture. Edit: Ah ha... I see what was done. That's some sort of .729 full-bore 12ga slug, something like these: http://www.ballisticproducts.com/Green-Slug-12ga-729-375gr-15_pk/productinfo/7000005/ The brass cases were trimmed down to allow for a traditional cartridge look. Although this looks like a project where "you really need to know what you're doing" in terms of messing with full bore slugs in your Saiga's barrel. You screw something up, like your setback, or the powder measure, that won't be as forgiving as a run-of-the-mill .678 slug meant to ride inside a standard cup/wad type arrangement. But damn... a skeletonized magazine to show off those rounds for "Vera ammo" a-la Firefly would be pretty cool. Edited August 16, 2011 by AJ Dual Quote Link to post Share on other sites
