I really like what my Saiga can do, but I completely agree that it's a poor home defense weapon. My brother gave me his Mossberg 500, which will do perfectly fine :)Roccodawg wrote:However, I am a bit unnerved by the fact that I just laid down some firm nickels on a highly toughed CQB weapon that I'd hoped would have a little better reliability out of the box. I'll shoot it more, try some different ammo, then tune it up with a local 'smith. It looks cool, but thus far is an unreliable home defense weapon....I simply won't go to it as a first order of business just yet.

Re: Saiga 12 Gunsmith Houston/Northern Areas?
First of all, discuss the issue on http://forum.saiga-12.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. Lots of GREAT help there.
Second: Chill, don't drill
Saiga 12's can be picky, initially, with different loads. Try different types of ammo, figure out what it likes. They can be fickle, that's for sure, but patience pays off. After a while, you'll learn what kind of gas setting and load works best.
