@te1apartes This is strictly MY OPINION............I have not shot the AA12, but looking at videos of it, it appears that you have to slide the mag on track.......and to me, that seems like it would be diffacult in a combat situation. Plus, I'm not sure how finicky the AA12 is with ammo, I think( but not sure) you can only shoot 2 3/4" shells from it. The Ak platform is a proven battle gun. Just my opinion.
@dempsey981 That's the legal limit for an imported magazine. Hence, they can't sell Russian 8-round mags for the gun here in the US. You can buy higher capacity magazines from SGM and ProMag. I'd definitely go with SGM, ProMag doesn't have the best reputation for a reason.
Its too bad that the NAZI ATF is considering these non-sporting and cut off importation. Prices on S12s have skyrocketed because of this. You cant even buy one these days..... :-(
@waterfordjim idk why people are complaining about this instead of taking action. march into the atf office and kill as many people as you can, like the constitution says you should to protect yourself from a tyranical government.
Ouch, $650 stock gun? I got mine for $530 (Jan-2011), I've heard of people getting them for $400 years ago, though those might have been used. I'm loving mine, still breaking it in though. The action is a little rough, but I'm told by some AK friends that its normal for a brand new AK type gun. Even with that though its only failed to cycle 1 round out of a little over 50 I went a bit cheap on the conversion back to a pistol grip, mostly Tapco stock components. Hoping that doesn't go bad.
Can't wait for the Keltec KSG to be released. My buddy has a Saiga 12, when I get the Keltec I can finally show him up. 14+1 ammo capacity baby! By the way anyone wanting a bullpup stock for their Saiga 12 should check out cbrps.com. This guy has the best quality Bullpups. He makes them one at a time so their hard to get but I just got one for my Mosin Nagant and it is BADASS!.
@GenericUth you must not be to familiar with keltec.............. I met with the keltec rep at the shot show last week...........this shot gun is really cool, but it probably won't go into production for at least two years........I've been waiting for a RFB for 3 years now. Besides the keltec is pump action, you can get a 20rd. drum with the saiga. good luck!
they are only capable of 3" magnum, and I like to shoot both my saiga 12 and usas 12 odly for me my usas 12 works just as fine as the saiga never had any issues with either..
@944lucifer my owners manual said it will take up to 3.25" shells...........I had a lot of problems out of my usas 12...........could only shoot 2 3/4" .........LOVE MY SAIGA.
@dinobrunetti69 well I would like to see you fit anything over 3" into the factory mag, plus as far as ammo I can only find 3" and 3.5" my factory saiga 12 mag can fit the 3" and 2.75" shells and it originally was the 24" bbl now it has a 9" bbl.
just do some research and let me know when you find one that shoots bigger than 3", and well I can say about your usas 12 is you must of got a bad one mine and my buddies work fine and I run 2.75" federal bulk ammo through it
please tell me the most reilable/best 10,12, or 20 mag/drums for the Saiga 12. I have purchsed one as my home defense weapon and I need a mag/drum that is super reliable. Thank you
@dinobrunetti69 Just pointing it out,,,that's my point, I take it that it was unintentional, but amusing. Nice Saiga 12.....Centerfire Systems sells them cheap..all you need is your FFL.
Where exactly did you get the rail system and all that stuff from. It's a nice set up, though I'm not a huge fan of folding stocks. I dig the 6 position collapsable stocks. Seem to be a little more sturdy. Good video and thanks for the info.
@jason127x99 to expensive just to shorten it 3 inches...........I talked to tony at tromix................other than just shortning it..............there is no net tangle bennefit
supposedly the trigger pull also gets better it you have the conversion done.
But, I agree, it's too expensive.
Btw, Centerfire Systems sells a 12rd drum for like $80. Pricey but more compact than the 12rd stick mag. Only, I don't think you can fold the stock with it.
Man! Buy a tromax conversion kit for that gun. I can`t stand the tapco stock. Pistol grip is to far back on the gun. Every thing else on the gun looks good. were did you get the forearm from?
That is the coolest shot-gun ever.Don't know why Mossberg or Remington don't make a shot-gun like this.You just know that they could do it better than the soviets.
@dinobrunetti69 thats a high price but reasonable fora about 500-600USD IMO . Ive never shot one but have shot a few AK variants and love the designs. That mag is freaking huge but then again ive only mainly seen them with the 5rnd stock mag at shops..
@jspin1103 I agree, but according to tony ramure at tromix.....................other than looks, it serves no functional purpose, so why spend 130$ ????
@dinobrunetti69 "Do not praise him, shoot him with the necessary and spare no bullets in my Sayga20k hunting option." - Translation courtesy of google translator.
Awesome weapon.. Just got 1.. I'm having a issue removing factory stock.. I took the 2 screws out.. Tried to pull it apart.. No joy.. Any suggestions? Lon
@YaboiDA Use a rubber mallet. Some of them came with a screw underneath if I remember my conversion correctly. Check for that too. If you're sure all screw are out use a rubber mallet and tap it out
do you realize that everytime you point at a feature, you're flipping everyone off? also, california gun laws have always sucked, just look thru shotgun news, no sale to california....
I'm not "hatin" but what's up with a laser on a shotgun? Just bought a saiga in stock config and other than that this is to the T how I want mine to be set up. Nice vid and Semper Fi Devil Dog.
@prettysam82 Maybe for coolness factor, lol. Perhaps it is for when you are too lazy to aim down the sights, but the again that laser is going to be bouncing around as soon as you start shooting.
Ive got the very same modification on my saiga 12.But Ive also added a muzzle compensator and instead of the collapseable stock I bot the retractable one made by Tapco(m4 style).
Get a wraithmaker mag and a bad ass compensator.Than you got nothing to worry about the zombie apocalypse.
Great shotgun, and nice mods on it. You can get a nice MD Arms 20 round drum mag for it too, but I am sure you know that. You should do your own research, but I recomend staying away from the Wrathmaker mag. Do not take my word for it though.
you can shorten those surefire mags, the bottom plate is made to fit on any of the grooves. so just take off the plate, cut the mag just below the groove that you want and reassemble
FCG = Fire Control Group. This is comprised of the trigger, hook, semi auto disconnector, hammer and spiring. A US fire control group replaces all of these items except the Russian spring.
I did my conversion a few months back...I used the Modified Tromix FCG ..I get a better feel and trigger pull over the existing russian sporter FCG.. It also helps to balance the gun when you add the collapsable stock and Aluminum Quad rail versus if you were to have the trigger all the way at the back by the stock..And yes..The gun cycles just as good maybe even better by doing this full conversion..You can also check with the Cadiz Gun Works who do the official work for Raac
Tromix FCG sits higher in the receiver, creating more resistance. The entire dynamic of the shotgun is changed with a forward mounted US FCG. If all one does is drop a Tromix modified FCG in, the gun will not cycle as well as a vanilla sporter.
With all due respect, aside from assisting in removing rivets and pins, and grinding burrs - a dremel offers little assistance in terms of restoring the original performance of the sporter model.
When it come to conversions - stick with the pros.
