Cagerattler 0 Posted March 6, 2004 Report Share Posted March 6, 2004 I notice the saiga shotgun comes in a wide range of guages from .410-12 guage. I am by no means a gunsmith or mechanically inclined but is there anyway to produce this in 10 guage 3 1/2 inch or even 12 guage in 3 1/2 version. I know that it would require a bigger bolt and perhaps a gas system that vents extra gas (energy) because of the velocity the bolt travels. I hunt in a shotgun county where we primarily hunt goose, ducks and deer. A 10 guage comes in handy for pass shooting to reach out and touch em. Just wondering if it is mechanically feasible to produce a saiga in 10 guage or a 3 1/2 inch version 12. Maybe this is a question for Makc? Imagine throwing some 10 guage 1 3/4 ounce slugs downrange or 18 OO buck pellets per shot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bvamp 604 Posted March 7, 2004 Report Share Posted March 7, 2004 Im not sure if the stamped reciever could handle that heavy of a round. i know if it did come out, you would have a detached retina in about a month Quote Link to post Share on other sites
