Don't have one but have heard about them.  How big a magazine will they hold?  I bet it is some real fun to blast away with that thing.   :eyebrownod:

I've got a couple 13 round magazines for it and will be spending a few Benjamins to get a 20 round drum. It's a trip.  :eyebrownod:

Watch this one.

This could spell disaster in Bops hands :doh2:

Looks like an expensive way to skin a coyote :eyebrownod:

The Saiga 12 is an inexpensive semi-auto shotgun.  I was not to happy with my Saiga 12 after the first couple outings.  It failed to eject, jammed and generally ran bad.  After a little tuning the gun is now my favorite shot gun. 

The bolt carrier and the bolt were both poorly finished with burrs and rough edges.  There is no feed ramp in the barrel and shells often caught on the sharp edges.  I took a dremel and ground the edges off the bolt, bolt carrier and added a slight feed ramp.  Then I took sand paper from 220 grit to 2000 grit and sanded and polished the bolt carrier and bolt and the new feed ramp.

Now this shotgun shoots everything from light birdshot to heavy magnum buckshot and slugs and has not had a hiccup in 500 rounds.

Here are pictures of where I polished the bolt and bolt carrier.
