Anyone buying up these guns they’re blowing out?

Don’t mind my bubba brake install
It needs to go to a smith and get redone

I’ve gotten several PMs and inquiries about this gun here and on Reddit about SBSing, specifically the gas settings and tuning.

I have not touched the gun from factory settings except to hack off the barrel and thread in the AK brake

It came from the factory at the most wide open gas setting

It will function (and kick like a mule) with Winchester 3” 2#
It does not function (maybe 80% cycle??) With bulk 7.5 8 birdshot 2.75”

Thanks for the tag, appreciate it.  I'm thinking of taking mine to 14 and seeing how that goes.

I’d be curious if that helps at all

I have one in the safe but haven't fired it yet. Waiting on a deal for some Pro-mag (20) rounders to take it out the woods.

The finish looks pretty darn good and I was surprised it had bolt hold open.

I overpaid for mine (was like 399 + S/H and transfer) but I sold a Saiga-12 years ago and always wanted another. This is my reasonable compromise

Nice
Yeah I bought mine like a year or more ago for $400+
I’m not upset at that price

Assuming you use the right ammo, has it been pretty reliable with SDS and Pro-mags?

Thinking about picking up some of the (12)rd and (20)rd drum mags sooner than later (being in WA state)

The stick mags required 5m of filing to lock into the gun but they’ve been 100% reliable and the drum has been perfect

Thanks also for the tag. So far I’ve changed out

Carolina shooter tri rail
Carolina shooter 922r grip an g2 trigger
Magpul Zhukov folding stock

Gun is cycling 1300 fps bird shot at the lowest gas setting.

Future plans is form 1 to SBS at 14 inches possibly adding a sgm brake. Holding off for a while I accidentally bought a turbo k last week and used up my fun/gun money.

Looking forward to filing the F1

Edit this photo was taken before I finished fitting the hand guard, it is now parallel to the barrel

No regrets?
