DLT 1,646 Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Yesterday my son and his classmate pre-engineering partner had to do an interview with someone on a device that uses gas or liquid to perform a mechanical function. The device had to consist of at least a cylinder, piston, reservoir, and valve. They were going to interview me on an air compressor, but the assignment required that they disassemble the device. So instead of letting them take my compressor apart, I pulled out my Saiga 12. They both had the biggest shit eating grins on their faces. I explained that it was a self loading gas operated shotgun that met all their device requirements. I stripped it down and detailed every part and action. 14 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

XD45 7,124 Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) Do a comparo of the long stroke piston against the Stoner direct impingement system and the short stroke gas piston. You have all 3 right? Edited March 31, 2015 by Darth Saigus 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DLT 1,646 Posted March 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Yes I do. But the kids got all they needed from the Saiga. Did get the report that the teacher said he was fine with the saiga interview. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

YOT 3,743 Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) Well, that sure beats letting them take your air compressor apart! Hopefully you allowed them to clean it during reassembly. Edited March 31, 2015 by YOT 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gunfun 3,931 Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 I don't think it has a reservoir though. Arguably a plenum in the gas block ahead of the piston. How did you guys come up with a reservoir? Is the shell storage of gas yet to be released? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mullet Man 2,114 Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 Until the projectile exits the muzzle, it is acting some what like a reservoir. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DLT 1,646 Posted April 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 Exactly. We concluded that the barrel was the reservoir. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
