SolidSTI 3 Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 (edited) This past weekend I ran about 200 rounds of winchester bulk through 2 Saiga-12s and 1 Vepr-12. I used the following mags; 12 round SGM Vepr-12 5 round stock Vepr-12 12 round SGM Saiga-12 12 round promag Saiga-12 12 round promag drum Saiga-12 20 round MDArms drum Saiga-12 5 round stock Saiga-12 One thing I noticed was that all the guns at some point would FTE using basically any magazine. After some experimenting with the hold on the weapon I realized the gun was short stroking like a pistol that was limp wristed. If you guys are having trouble, really get behind the gun and hold her still. Letting the gun be fired one handed or lightly on the shoulder would induce the FTE. Once I really held the gun tight the damn things cycled everything. I was using factory stocks, so my upper pectoral area is kind of sore. EDIT: VEPR-12 MODS -CSS Russian Clone Brake -CSS 922r Gas Puck -Tromix Modified G2 Trigger Edited February 6, 2013 by SolidSTI Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aeromat209 24 Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 That's good to know! And thanksfor the report! Ionly ran 50 through my V-12 last weekend and with the same brake and a recoil reducing AR stock I shouldered it tight with a forward stance and not a single FTE! I had the same gas puck too! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SolidSTI 3 Posted February 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Yep, ran like a clock once I got behind it snug and leaned on it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

n16ht5 2 Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 I noticed that first time I tried shooting my S12 with trap. I liked having a forward grip on it to pull it into me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
