So options for shot would be tungsten, lead and what else?

Ok..no steel it is. Looks like another expensive mouth to feed

I am not so much worried about recoil as I am about ammo choice to no do damage. Barrels appear to have pretty thick walls. Might just shoot reduced power loads. I have heard black powder loads are fun in these guns too but for that I would have to reload them.

Stepped down at the chamber end. Its chambered for 3 1/2 shells and not the lite 2 7/8.

Here are some pics. Barrels dont appear to be damascus. So steel should be ok.

Well I recently acquired a new 10ga. Wanted a mercury magnum and found one at a really good price. I know some of the older spanish shotguns had issues with barrels so looking for some insight. The previous owner said he shot modern 10ga loads with no issues. I am not sure if its damascus barrels. It says special grade steel on the barrels. Its an eibar built mercury magnum with 30" barrels. Its a tank. I chokes are both fixed full. I also noticed that inside the barrel it appears to be stepped down. If I had a smith remove the step would that help prolong the life. Obviously I dont plan on putting a ton of shells through this but I would like to just use the steel 10ga I have rather than only expensive lead shot. Any input is appreciated

I just picked up a 5946 used with box for around that price. Thats a good deal on great guns. The 5946 is the dao variant of the 5906. Agree on it being a solid, reliable, well-built gun

Get a honey badger

Haters...take the test like everybody else and get hired. Then you can carry if its so important. Yes...everybody should be allowed to carry but hating on a guy cause his job allows is just petty jealousy and anger. Grow up

as usual..thanks for the informative, intellectual addition to the conversation.

Whichever one is most comfortable for him. Cant go wrong with most of those guns

It does have a muzzle brake. I was actually looking for local shops that might have it in stock

Still working on that

If anybody see any in stock anywhere let me know. Just picked up a rifle chambered for it and want to test it out

Welcome to the forums

I have my one ak with battlefield pickup furniture and my saiga will be tacticool. My third saiga 7.62 will most likely go up for sale

Welcome to the forums

Basically if you havent paid for them you can't get them. That's my understanding. No new orders just orders that have been paid prior to the EO

Yup..i went on that night and stuff was still available at regular price. Next morning not so much. Now i havq a couple to sell or barter with at a higher price. Might wait a couple weeks and see what the going rate is on gunbroker.

The minute i read the story i ordered them with buy it now on gunbroker. Both the 7.62 abd 12 are brand new in boxes getting delivered this week

Welcome to the forums

Found the package. Look forward to seeing it tomorrow

A couple spare saigas never hurt anybody

I look at it this way. I just bought two more saigas at regular price. If somebody offers me a lot more for mine then i sell. If not i have another saiga 12 to convert at a later date and another 7.62 to work on. Not a bad thing. I will most likely try to trade with them while the value is super high

Can't decide what barrel length i want one in
