Saiga 12...Why dont u have one?

[ROCKETW19]

I dont have one cuz I am just broke. I think it would be a very cool toy if you could use the surefire 12 round drums. I spent my toy gun money on a HK USC that I am still converting to a UMP.
that and I already have 2 benellis m1 and m4

Some of the haters on here could always engrave a duck hunting scene on the side. Now thats classy!

classic!!!

theres a couple guys askin question about them on the thread so...
for any body who needs more info about the s12 look here...

http://forum.saiga-12.com/

remeber it takes around 200 rounds of high brass to break it in more or less...
i think the two major culprits for any s12 issue is operater putting it on the wrong setting and walmart el cheapo winchester ammo... spend a dollar more and get the federal!!!

ugly? i don't think so.

Is that a adjustable choke?!

[Dragunov]

I don't own one because I haven't found any place around Sacramento who has 'em.

That's not a good excuse when you can have one shipped to you

[PEBKAC]

Benelli M4. That's my reason.

All kidding aside, I've wanted one for a few years, and I still want one but I think I will wait a bit as rifles are fast becoming a money sinkhole. After all, quality optics don't exactly grow on trees or buy themselves.

[supersteve9219]

I don't have one because mine doesn't get out of jail till tomorrow....

[RAMCHARGER]

I don't own one because I saw those dorkey arse spetznaz druken geezers on some "spetznaz vs special forces" episode on cable tv.. and... well it looks gay.
"hold my cigarette while do some fancy rolls with my Saigi 12" And you though mall ninjas looked bad :O)

[tombinghamthegreat]

I dont have one because i have no money, already have a shotgun(mossberg 590) and already have a saiga in 7.62x39. Not if i had money...i would buy one.

[supermario]

I dont have one because my buddy's Saiga 12 is a jam-o-matic with the WalMart bulk birdshot, while my Mossberg 930 SPX runs cheap ammo like water.

Now I do like the idea of faster reloads with a magazine.

I think you have to do a few adjustments when you get your Saiga 12, there were quite a few saigas that had improper drilled gas port holes and thats why they jammed alot. If you get a Saiga 12 that works properly, it would and should eat up birdshot no problem. At first mine had some problems, i sent it to cadiz and when it returned, it has been flawless since then. I eat up the federal 7 1/2 birdshot all day without a cleaning and it is super fast. I think i can pump out about 9 shots in 2 seconds. Some people have had bad experience with Saiga 12 but you just gotta fine tune them and then they are reliable and really fun. I think my Saiga 12 is my favorite gun to shoot. When i go to the range, all my family is shooting it and loving it. Including the women. With birdshot there isnt much recoil either. I keep mine on gas setting 2 and it works perfect. I also have a Mossy 930SPX on layaway and cant wait to get that out either. I hear the 930 can even shoot low recoil ammo! Thats pretty good becus most semi auto cant. Here is my baby

Because they are not that appealing to me. Sure they look cool but for a practical shotgun I prefer a remington 870. Now if I had money to blow I would probably get one eventually but it's no where near the top of my list.

[Merc1138]

I don't see what isn't practical about a saiga, except for the maglock part, but that's not in the design of the shotgun to begin with...

[corrupt]

If I had $700 I didn't care about, I would buy one just to take to the local indoor range... you know, for the PURE SEXUAL THRILL, THE SEXUAL THRILL.

[wikidklown]

I have one just because I can

nice....

No, not possible. You would just carve right thru the thin stamped sheet metal and possibly ruin a perfectly good engraving tool. That would be a tragedy.
