SHOTGUN MESIAH 855 Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 Gotta disagree, My MKA kicks all kinds of ass and will run toe to toe with any Saiga or Vepr. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JDeko 792 Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 came really close to getting a 1919 instead of my Saiga, the lighter nature of the MKA and thus more recoil is what killed it for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
XD45 7,124 Posted August 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 (edited) I love the feel of recoil in the morning. It feels like... VICTORY! http://www.guns.com/review/2013/12/19/gun-review-tactical-12-intrepids-ras-12-video/ RAS-12 was doomed from the start. Proprietary shells are about the worst deal breaker you could think of.

XD45 7,124 Posted August 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 (edited) Even Classic admits the AR12 is not reliable. I will pass hard. Although I have considered picking up a BR99. Edited August 29, 2015 by Darth Saigus 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gunfun 3,931 Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 The cut down 50 BMG brass is an interesting idea though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
evlblkwpnz 3,418 Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 I like a challenge, but I just don't have time for much challenge anymore. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
saltydecimator 482 Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 Well who's got theirs? Shot some 50-12 outta my ras12-franken ar. The cases are swelling. Will post pics Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gta_spec 2 Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 My ras 12 had cycling issues at first. Turns out that the orings on the gas piston were stuck to the cylinder wall with old oring lube. Now I have failure to feed problems to fix. Salty, what is that brass case cartridge in the pic? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gunfun 3,931 Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 YOu can see that it is 50 BMG brass cut down with either a 12 or 20 ga foster slug crimped in like a standard bullet. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gta_spec 2 Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 (edited) Wow, do the rim dimensions all match between the 50 case and the ras12 case? Isn't the ras 12 case rebated? Edited September 16, 2015 by gta_spec Quote Link to post Share on other sites
saltydecimator 482 Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 access to a lathe my friends!!! i rebated the head more, and shortened the case... the fireform blew it out... notice in my earlier post i have a stock with a shoulder thing that goes up, loooooooolz! think my current cure for the ras though is to de-barrel, fit a 20 ga to the upper, and run it like that...lotta wasted space in hte full length gun... and 20 ga is kinda wasted in the 308 lenght gun, but i think it would be fairly simple.... then again, when i did osme googling to find a source for ras12 mags, it came back with hits on a ras20, so maybe they (defunct intrepid) already tried it? still some real cool parts from grab a gun for $300.... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
