Speed Shotgun Match at Atlanta Conservation Club 7-11-10

[slow1911s]

I'll take that bet First place at the last match was with a stock Saiga
[/COLOR]

I didn't say who's going to win. How many will run? Chris is one helluva shooter with anything put in his hands.

And , yes, I do like giving grief to Saiga pilots. Given enough time, they'll be as reliable as their tubed cousins.

Now to complete the thread jack..Was the comp easy to install? That's the last thing for me to do and I don't want to send it to R&R.

Don't worry about the "tube feeders" It's just magazine envy

I suppose you visit the Saiga forums. I used the Firebird from CSS.
There is a link to it at the top of this thread
firebird mid-barrel compensator????? - forum.Saiga-12.com

The R&R is a JP design and JP wont sell it and R&R wont sell it either, they want to install it and if you work on saigas you know the line that it has to be done by a "gunsmith" is a pantload.
Plus the Firebird was on sale for $100. I am going to go out to the garage in a minute and go ahead and put in the extra 6 holes. Im waiting on a bead hone to deburr the bore and hope to get to the range then. I also added a reduced recoil spring as Greg suggested. I suppose I will have to play with the gunfixer plug and figure out which ammo runs best.

BTW is there slugs in the match at atlanta on the 11th????

I never checked the results for the last match at the wildcat but Butcher had a X-rail on his tuber and carried 24 rounds. It ran without a glitch. I thougt that the saigas had an unfair advantage reloading up till then. BUT a saiga can use a 20 round drum,, unfortunatly I cant with a magwell. I am however considering a R&R 20 round "bipod"

Last match there were three and two ran great.

Yes, I'm over there with the same name. I have read a lot of reviews but was curious of your experience with the installation. It seems pretty straight forward but **** happens.
this is my kitchen table gun

Trim your toenails! Seriously looks good. If I see you Id like to get a closer look at your forearm.

Last time Ryan put all the open shooters together so we should be in the same squad.

I will be there with my Saiga - been working on it for a while now and I think it is ready for action.

What size mags would be good for this event? I was thinking of a 20 rnd drum followed by a 12 round stick for reloads, or perhaps just 3 12 round sticks.

I didn't attend the other one, but from what I've heard, you have a par time in which to shoot as many targets as possible. So the more rounds you can get in the gun before having to reload, the better.

If your gun is reliable with a drum then that's what I would go with. Most stages won't let you get off more than 20rds before the time is up.
It sounds like the Saiga will be well represented this match

No slugs, just birdshot.

 

[barryG]

This sounds like a blast. Can't wait.

I will have a restored Saiga-12 with a c-more red dot. It has been running great.

In the GSSF handbook, it asks competators to help paste. At the GSSF match last weekend in Indy, I helped paste and heard the RO's ask others to help paste.

We sure did, almost everyone who shot stages were asked to help paste. Just to keep things moving along.

 

[bigcraig]

Was it ammo or the puck? I put the R&R hand guard on mine but I am not sure I like it without the vfg.

The puck was the problem.

Just wanted to give everyone an update. Last night I picked up some more finished targets, that a Dennis L. volunteered to cut and weld for us. This brings us to a total of 58 additional targets since our last Speed Shotgun match back in March. We may be able to do a 6th stage now, but it all depends on volunteer turnout next Saturday, 7/10/10. Again, we will be setting up on Saturday around noon, please come help out if you can.

Thanks,
RZ

BigCraig asked Coach if he was shooting this match. I mentioned that I would, but I just don't have a shotgun.

Heh.
