Komrad 12ga

[JohnC]

I picked this Kalashnikov Komrad up yesterday.

Just curious…

Those who own these, what ammo runs best?

For home defense, I think I’d like to keep some PDX1 Defender in it.

Anyone run some of that through one of these?

No idea what ammo runs best in it but I really like the looks of it.  Nice pickup.

I ordered four Kalashnikov 10rd mags and a Kalashnikov brake for it last night.

Should be a nice firearm for home defense once I test some ammo and make sure the gas setting is correct.

Kalashnikov Komrad, you can't get more Russian than that.  I like it though.  AK format is tough as nails.

I've got a vepr and I can't say I've ran that but I've never had a problem out of any ammo after the 1st month. It would hang up on Winchester white target loads, maybe one in a mag. Shot a good bit of buck & pinged steel with slugs to break it in n its been super smoooooth.

I have a SAIGA direct from Mother Russia. I have done a few things to it to get to run like a semi should, changed the gas puck and put in an adjustable gas tube plug. Mine will bump fire the cheap WWB 12 you get from wally world, you know, bugger hook in a belt loop. Made an adapter to use different chokes, even use a rifled choke for slugs, makes it a minute of paper plate at 100 yards.

Buy some cheap ammo, shoot it a lot on the cheap ammo. Then buy a few boxes of different ammo, slugs, buck and heavy shot. Then figure out what your shot gun likes.

Got my mags and breach brake yesterday.

Sexy when you see a picture of it and just as sexy when you hold it and see it in person! 

Can't wait to take it out and shoot it!

Do you "need" a breach break? The points are a bit sharp and might get hung on carry bags and such.

I don't really need a breach.

But if the brake reduces muzzle rise and recoil, it'll be worth it.

Sounds like you want to shoot it really fast...lol

That’s the plan; to have some fun with it!

Might need a better trigger to do it, but I’ll test it out before I change the trigger.
