SilencerCo's New Shotgun Silencer

I actually think a Saiga may work better with a suppressor. My brother's has issues with anything other than slugs or buckshot, might be a low back pressure issue? If I understand correctly suppressor a increase back pressure. I'm purely speculating here so correct me of I'm wrong, I won't be offended.

You're correct that silencers increase back-pressure. I don't know much about Saiga 12s, but gas-operated firearms get a boost in pressure in their gas system from almost all suppressors, so the Saiga shouldn't be any different.

If the problem with your brother's Saiga is shooting under-pressure loads, a silencer will increase the gas pressure and possibly fix the problem.
 
I know this is the wrong spot to ask this question, but I got low responses to my Saiga 12 question. What do you gentlemen think of Saiga 12's? Does anybody know how well they run?

It's my understanding that leaving them full-length at 19" helps with reliability with lower-pressure loads (much like having more back pressure from a suppressor).
 
they run like a BOSS!!!! if you want one, better get it now, cause they ain't going to get cheaper than they are RIGHT NOW. you already missed the boat on getting them under a grand. I wouldn't want to chop the barrel either, shoguns don't run at a high pressure. if you wanted to shorten the barrel, then you would have to alter the gas system. low pressure has a hard time making the piston work reliably and any length you remove equals pressure lost.
 
Thanks skizzums! That's the kind of feedback I was looking for. My local hardware store still has them, pre-import ban prices. That's why they look so juicy to me. I guess it seems like a no-brainer then, and at least a decent investment for resale.

Is there anything like a Noveske flash pig for Saiga to increase the back-pressure?

well, I know you can add chokes that have threads on the end for the brake. I believe you can buy chokes that have a more standard thread size on the outside so you can add the more popular ones

they also have ones that the choke threads inside of the brake, kind of giving you that look your talking about, but I don't see and fat ones like the pig your talking about
 
Here are some pics of this silencer. It's big, but it is modular. You can be broken down into shorter size.

Size wise, compared to my hand.
