I'd use my AKs hands down... 75 round drum with my choice of variant 7.62 x 39 is easy to get... and Saiga 12 with 20 round drum for up close and personal business 12 guage is also easy to acquire..

muleymaniac81 out of curiosity, do you have any side effects from the lasik surgery?

if you can operate AK get a Saiga 12... same operation just 12 guage shotgun... no more loading single rounds just mag or drums...

self pull with buddy + 20 round drum + Saiga 12 guage= much fun... no, it's not competition with only 2 round max and all that... but fun... fun, fun, fun... FUN!

any shooters here use frog lube? I've switched to it and love it... different than typical grease or oil... it is absorbed by metal and makes cleaning much easier... developed by navy seal. food grade... can apply with hands... good stuff.

I also have slight astigmatism... but don't need special contacts or glasses for it or anything...

I'm 32 and wear contacts... can see good up close with out them but everything is blurry further away... contacts correct me to 20/20... I've been thinking about getting laser correction but I've seen a few of the videos on you tube of the procedure being done and it freaks me out... seeing the lasers cut the eye... the smoke... no thanks...

hello all, I've seen lasers you put in your handgun that every time you pull trigger it activates laser to show you where you are going to hit when doing dry firing practice... anybody here actually use these lasers and are they worth the $100 price tag? thanks, John

hello all, I shoot with one eye closed with both handgun and rifle... I'm getting new scope with long eye relief to help with rifle but what are some beginning drills/exercises I can practice with dryfire to start breaking this habit and becoming proficient with both eyes open? thanks, Johnny

once you break one in... you'll never have to manually load single shots... just load in mags or drums... mine took over 300 rounds to break it in... I've found the russian stock mags are most dependable but, they only hold 5 shots... you really need to break in the drums, manually cycled thru a couple hundred rounds and it works like a dream... i'd suggest shooting a few hundred rounds, then taking it to shoot clays especially if you can do self pull to get a real good feel for it... and make sure it'll run as fast as you need it to... make sure it is in setting #2 for shooting low brass... I use frog lube in mine and couldn't be happier...

nice saigas nice shooting guys... they are the baddest shottys once you break them in...

I love my Saiga 12 and it's performance in my last 3-gun match... got replacement 20 round drum from Pro mag and it performed flawlessly... takes much less time to load a drum than each round like the Benellis, Mossbergs etc... shoots as fast as I can pull the trigger... how many other Saiga shooters are on this forum? what have you done if anything to trick yours out... I added limbsaver pad and Tapco T6 pistol grip and stock.

I use Saiga 12... it's AK Shotgun which is much faster to shoot than manualy loading each shot... I have 5,10 round mags and 20 round drum... I can only load 9 rounds where I shoot but, once you get one broken in, it's the fastest shotgun around.

I love AKs and have been using them in 3-gun... I seem to be the only one shooting 7.62 x 39 in the matches... everyone else is using .223... anyone else using 7.62 x 39? am I the only one?

I almost did this past sat at 3-gun match... I had Hungarian AMD-65 AK with 75 round drum which never gave me anything as much as a hiccup at shooting range... I was in big bay with around 40 targets and about 10 shots into rifle section the drum just didn't advance the next shot... I only had 20 rounds in my spare mag as I didn't think I would need more than that.... but, I took my lumps skipped the targets and moved on to shotgun stage and got failure to neutralize 20 shots and ended up last...

bad ass... thanks for sharing that with a newbie like me.

that's cool... congrats on finishing 1st place... I guess I met my goal of not being dead last as it looks like #37 got dq'd... see you in feb. with better running equipment.

I guess this is Jason that shot at the 3 gun at Impact Zone? out of the 6 magizines I shot with, 4 are going back to manufacturer to be repaired or replaced... unbelievable for equipment that worked fine at the range... it was fun for my first time... learning tactical reloading multiple times each stage... my only goal was to have fun and not be last out of the 30+ group... I doubt anyone had worse luck with equipment than I did... how often do you go out there? I plan on going back in Feb with better equipment.

I used my Olympic arms K30r (AR-15 that shoots 7.62 x 39 with bananna mag) for my first match yesterday and both mags (c-products) went bad on me... fast way to learn tactical reloading... they are sending replacement springs and followers... I've fired 300+ round thru each mag without issue it just had to happen at my first match... Due to the bad start I'm going to change rifles... my top 2 pics are Hungarian AMD-65 AK pros: light, vertical foregrip, good scope attached, can attach 40 round mag or 75 round drum so, no problems with reloading. 7.62 x 39 round, able to use scope or irons without problem. every few rounds makes huge fireball out of end of barrell... hopefully intimidate shooters or just plain bad ass! cons: shorter barrel for long range shooting 2nd choice Isreali Golani sporter AK pros: 30 or 50 round mag, longer barrel for long range shooting, cons: heavy, twice as heavy as AMD-65, need to upgrade ring mount so I can use iron sights, .223 round, thanks for input. Johnny K.

I have saiga 12 and tried to use 2 different promag mags a 20 round drum and a 10 round mag both ended up jamming on me multiple times during my first 3 gun match and both are going back under lifetime warranty... I have factory 5 rounder that works perfect but I want higer capacity... what is the "best" saiga hi capacity mag? thanks Johnny

Let the Arms race begin.. I'm looking to compete in my first 3 gun competition in Feb... I am the guy with the saiga with the 20 round drum and 20" arms to run around with the big gun with big drum... I love it... Johnny K.
