MIKE20GA 11 Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 Dan - you sure did alot to make it run on the cheap stuff ; as long as it still can handle the hi powered stuff I think you have a winner Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wagnikov 186 Posted June 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 Will pull the low power springs when it's slug season. I did not want to hinder the guns ability to safely run slugs, as that is the Main goal of the gun. But I love a good challenge and this thing fought me good! I don't even think you are suppose to run 2 /12" ammo in csspecs mags? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jdtravers 637 Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 Looks Good!!! Jack Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cav01c14 4 Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 I can only run mine on 1oz won't cycle on 7/8. Looks good lot of work polishing that thing. What do you mean the op rod extension? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wagnikov 186 Posted June 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 You lengthen the op rod to push puck all the way into the gas block. I would recommend the CSS puck as it has a boss on the op rod side of the puck to take-up the extra play. And basically do the same thing with a drop n part. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MIKE20GA 11 Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 (edited) I don't even think you are suppose to run 2 /12" ammo in csspecs mags? man , I hope that is not the case .....i got some 200$ invested in those 8 and 10 round Csspecs and I got a boatload of those DUPO20 Expanding Ammo slugs , and there 2-3/4" 'ers ! And yes, it would be nice to get it to cycle that cheapo low brass ammo - but the purpose of my Saiga is to blow big holes in the bad guys ........ you got me kinda confused ; I didn't know there even was 2 /12" ammo !?

csspecs 1,987 Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 The "2 1/2 shells" shown in the photo are 2 3/4" shells with a 2 1/2 dram powder loads. There are shorter shells but you will pay a premium for those. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Although there eight dollars more than they used to it still one of the cheapest loads I can find. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When you say CSS puck, do you mean Carolina Shooters supply? Nice job getting that thing to run well. I have been able to get the Winchester and Remington bulk packs to work on my 13 round mag with no issue before. The federal always fails though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wagnikov 186 Posted February 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Welcome to the forums madjack! I enjoyed the challenge of making it work. The 20ga has the pickiest thus far out of all my saiga's. But I think I will start looking for a long barreled s20 to suck all the goodie out of the power for deer hunting. Again welcome, and ask any questions you can think of, we need the traffic in the s20 section. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I ordered the reliability kit last summer and had no luck with it. I think it's the mags though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wagnikov 186 Posted February 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Yes the carolina shooters supply puck. It has an extra boss on it. It has been discussed and approved to flip around backwards to take up some slack in the op rod. You need to double check and make DAMN sure the bolt carrier contacts the top left side of the front trunnion. You DO NOT want the puck/op rod holding the bolt/carrier slightly out of battery. If you unscrew the gas plug and the carrier moves you have issues. Typically what I do is assemble without the gas plug, then slowly screw it in until the carrier moves. You can the. Measure the base of the gas plug-front of gas block and calculate the need amount. Again none of this is necessary unless you are modifying the op rod lenght. It is a fine tune technique, and not generally recommended. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madjack 0 Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 I haven't done any mods to the bolt carrier rod. I have noticed that it is hard as hell to remove the puck out of the little hole where it rests though after I shoot. Is there a decent method to getting the puck out?

Wagnikov 186 Posted February 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 I would suggest running it dirty. It forms it's own seal. You should be able to run literally hundreds of rounds before it hinders operation. IMHO. You can pull out the carrier and remove the gas plug. Then face the muzzle towards the ground and drop a brass punch or an extension off of a 3/8" drive ratchet down where the op rod goes. Some times, apparently as a kind of pinball game, I take the gas plug out and pull the action back and let it snap foreward to try and pop the puck out. I don't know why I continue to do this because it hasn't been very successfully thus far. Yet I continue to try! Lmao at myself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
