Took the Saiga (AK 47 type) 12 gauges to the desert yesterday with my partner. I had just fitted (tweaked) two of the Centerfire 12 round plastic drum mags to fit both our guns and we also took 10 round standard mags.
The standard mags performed flawlessly and kicked out ten rounds of OO and Nr 4 buck as fast as the guns could be fired with zero function problems (the Saigas are heavy enough so rapid aimed fire is possible). I shot thirty rounds at high speed and have only a faint bruise and no soreness at all today in my right shoulder. This is one mean shotgun.
The 12 round drums 'fumbled' the first couple of rounds when fully loaded but did great with ten rounds loaded instead of 12. Still, there's a distinct advantage with the drums because they are a neat little package right up under the gun rather than a foot long mag sticking out to hold 10 12 gauge shells.
Anyway, super pleased with the Saiga. It just plain shoots and the rifle type sights are a real plus. Shooting at 100 yards into a dirt berm, you can excavate sizeable holes with buck shot and rapid fire. What this would do to something live would be gruesome to say the least.
