@@308c You are welcome 😊. If you live in a desert 🏜 no need to care about chromed barrels or if you don't actually shoot your firearm.

@@308c I almost bought the KS-12 a month ago and that is why I am stating this. I have also owned a Russian Saiga 12 shotgun in Alaska. I found out that a chromed barrel is a must have... for me a least... as I hate rust & long cleaning's of my barrels. If the gun is not used much & is like a home defense gun that just sits in a corner or a LE patrol shotgun that stays for years in a car w/o use, no problem the Komrad 12 or KS-12 is fine.
@@sweetcostarica I have the Saiga as well. I try keeping all my firearms lubed when I'm using or storing them. One thing I hate is rust on my firearms.
@@sweetcostarica I doubt surface rust inside the shotgun barrel will hurt anything but yeah I hate rust but most of it is superficial. Even a little rust inside a rifle barrel should shoot out
It's a modification I did to it. I made a video showing it called Komrad 12 ( bolt hold open lever. I made it about 7 months ago if look in my videos you'll see it.
Do you have to lock your bolt to the rear before you insert the magazine everytime? Seems like slapping the mag in then charging it would be a lot faster.

@@sickonblues Thanks! I started to do a video as I was making it but because I didn't know what the out come would be I didn't do it. The only modification I needed to do was make the slot next to the trigger big enough for it to come through. I had my Saiga 12 the copy while doing it and that made all the difference between getting right and not. A true gunsmith should be able to do it.
For me these cheap bulk parks are like 22lr I except problems but they are still fun to shoot, plus it teaches me how to clear jams fast should so I ever have to in a SHTF situation.
@@titos1281 Has nothing to do with the magazines and everything to do with the velocity of the loads you're running. There's companies that offer "pucks" that'll allow for more gas to help in cycling the bolt with lower velocity "bulk" ammo. This is something that even Saiga 12 gauges could experience as they're made to run "hot" military loads with heavy projectiles like buckshot or slugs. You can tell that the problem he's having in the video is on the complete extraction of empty shells, and not on the feeding of unfired shells being lifted and chambered. That would typically eliminate suspicious targeting of the magazines.
@@308c Is this something you've since resolved? As my guess wouldn't be the magazines considering the fact that you're experiencing jams after the shell has detonated, and is failing to eject. That would make me focus more on the issue of a lack in rearward velocity of the bolt carrier not providing enough speed to properly "launch" the empty shell from the action once it makes its way back enough for the ejector fin to "hit" the empty cartridge.
@@MrCooper89 I did resolve it. I had a bolt buffer in it and it wasn't allowing the bolt to full travel to the rear in order to ejector some of the inconsistent rounds.
@@bryanplatt1870 it probably was. But i ended up putting the original back in and after this video I realized it was a buffer I installed that made it not run as well. Once I removed that it's been good but I will have to try the css again.
@@308c not to be negative or confrontational, just thought it might get a rise, I actually like all the SAGA USAS 12 and similar sporting shotguns and understand that not all high capacity magazines are always what their cracked up to be, but if they have been categorized as destructive devices by that unelected unconstitutional agency the more the merrier. Cheers I'll drop by again.
@@jamessimpson5051 I purchase this because they reclassified the origin 12 last year. And if they decide to reclassify this boating accidents are not uncommon where I live lol.
I’ve always felt it’s good to run light load ammo or the occasional bad round to get familiar with clearing malfunctions👍👍good vid my man
I think the same way lol.
This sir, shows just how practical the shotgun can be, thankyou .
Lmaooooooooo this has got to be hella fun just doing this 😂😂😂
Had fun watching that, it put a smile on my face ...thank you.
You had a good time. Fun to watch, thanks.
Important cleaning & longevity note: The barrel is *_not chromed lined_* on the KS-12 series like foreign AK rifles & shotguns.

Fun channel, I appreciate the videos of a cool firearm.
Use do to this with 22s. Back when ammo was cheap. Good way to spend an evening
How are you getting the bolt to lock to the rear!? I have yet to discover this feature.
It's a modification I did to it. I made a video showing it called Komrad 12 ( bolt hold open lever. I made it about 7 months ago if look in my videos you'll see it.
That was cool.
okwhat was your gas system setup for this???? Alll the Carolina shooter supply parts w plug on #6?
Love the video
That was awesome!

It's almost impossible to load if you don't lock the bolt to the rear. You also take a chance in destroying your mag lip.
@@308c Interesting. Thanks for giving me pondering material haha.
👊
its called vertical (up and down as you call it) and HORIZONTAL (across)
I'm going to say up and down, side to side. It makes other people feel smarter to use advance wording🙂
@@308c Iits "advanced" wording is it....ok,lol
Good stuff!!!
Fun video, thanks!
How is the arm brace holding up with the recoil of 12 gauge?
So far it's been great.
How did you attach your red dot? More specifically, how did you attach the rail on top?
The top rail is screwed to the bottom rail, they clamp to the gun.

I’m impressed you had that many drum mags I just bought the lynx 12 any suggestions on good quality 10 or 12 round mags?
All the mag I have are P-mags but a lot of people seem to really like the sgm mags.

How are you able to have your Komrad run perfectly with 1200 FPS rounds? I put 1290 in and it’s not enough for it to run.. any pointers will help

Too many jams
It was my fault, I had a after market part in it that causes it to keep jamming.
Fun video. Can you share some details on the bolt hold open device you are using?

How many misfeeds was that?
Out of the 100 rounds I fired at least 30 misfeed, but i figured out why it happened
@@308c could you please explain?
@@dalewetzel773 I did a video about it. If you go to my videos and down to the 11th video. I talked about it there.
That is awesome!!! Do you have a vid with slugs using the komrad?
Thanks! I don't but I'm hoping to do a video with all buck shot hopefully this summer when the weather is better.
you should use standard heavy load buck shot in these for best reliability
For me these cheap bulk parks are like 22lr I except problems but they are still fun to shoot, plus it teaches me how to clear jams fast should so I ever have to in a SHTF situation.
Get the md arms booster puck. Mine eats everything now. Light loads are no problems at all. Ive got a video up of the redbox birdshot and a 20rnd drum
I'll have to look into that. Thanks!!
Atlantic firearms has them for less than $20. Makes a huge difference. I had the css reliability kit and it hated low brass
@@mattcousins6799 nope, they're sold out there
@@mattcousins6799 i want to put the CSS puck back in it but i want to polish it first. I have the original puck in it still.
Nice stance 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

Enjoyed the video!
Definitely run all high brass next time.
I had a bolt buffer in there that caused the problems.
I find a chainsaw to be much better tool to get this job done, and waaaaay cheaper😄.
So many jams
It's a mixture of not so good mags P-Mags and not holding it tight.
@@308c which ammo works best for you?
@@asianmovement I've only used the Federal so far because I really like them but I will try the Winchester in both my Komrad and Saiga soon.

Need to change your gas settings for the light load mine runs the cheap stuff without problems
I made a updated video on why it wasn't running right. It was because I had a buffer in it which prevented it the bolt from fully going to the rear.
@@308c from your original video. If I remembered correctly your light load css gas block was in backwards from the instructions.

Gonna get a jts cant afford komrade those are nice though
I don't think the price on these will come down for a few years but I hope I'm wrong.
I thought the factory grip needed to stay on
That falls under state laws. Its the same as the Mossberg Shockwave they are both classified as firearms.
Where can I get 1 lol lol
Gunbroker but they are a bit over priced lol.
Ty 308c that was helpful.. it would be great home defence especially with kids around
@@shilohdeverse7830 the Mossberg Shockwave might also be a good choice if you're also try to keep it short.
Watching you trying to find a magazine that worked sucked, wasn't exactly a Kurt Russell scene from Escape From New York.
