I was introduced to Saigas by this guy who used to come by once in awhile to drink beer and tell lies.lol. He told me one day that he had gotten a good hand on a 410 shotgun that was really an AK. I was like.yeah …sure ya did Ken… good one there!So he surprised the shit outa me next time he came over and had it with him. After the novelty and the I told ya so’s wore off, he told me it was cool but he didn’t wish it suit the infernal thing wouldn’t turn right. He showed me something else I’d never seen before too.the steel hulled Barnaul ammo that he got with it. We went out back and tried to run a mag through it an

it FTF’d on every round. I ended up giving him fifty bucks for it, two mags, and the box of ammo. Then in my search online for information about it, I was finally led to this forum. I started way back at the first of the archives, and read everything in the 410 forum. Not alone was I able to get it running good finally, but also knowing how to convince it and did that. Well I was hooked like a fish after that! The AK has always been my favorite battle rifle so I started reading all the way back in the other forums as well. The S-12 was the obvious next choice for me. I managed to get a fellow forum member here that had an K-USA / EAA imported 19″er for sale (Yes it’s stamped with both. and luckily he lived local to me. We met up for a FTF sale and for $550 I came home with a new S-12 with 5 mags! Back then there weren’t any at gunshows or local shops. Picked up a few boxes of slugs and shotshells on my way home and headed directly to the creek!First time I fired that beast I probably smiled the biggest smile since the one I had all day after skydiving!
