there is a thread above this by the moderator which has some good tips and contact info for AGP, I guess they have great customer service and will talk you through your problem......try reading that thread.....I read it because I just bought a couple, and haven't tried them out yet.....

last time I shot my Saiga (a couple years ago), I took it apart,cleaned it, and put it back together......with the bolt locked open, is it normal for the gas piston to slide back and forth in there.....it doesn't do it as much when the bolt is closed......I have some mags coming to me soon (as my mag lost its clip lips), I hope.....and just want to make sure this is normal before I shoot it....thanks a ton. Dave

Thank you to all......your the best!!!

ProMag & AGP feed lips should fit on your Russian 5. I've worked with many CVA patients. Keep working at it. Strokes are like if half the roads in a city were bombed. At first traffic will be royally fucked up, but eventually the drivers will figure out how to get around again. In the majority of instances I've seen, the patients recovered the vast majority of if not all function. One fascinating incident was when one lady with Alzheimers had a CVA. At first it was bad, but as she recovered, she was more lucid than before the incident. Her delusions ceased completely. It was li

I will try that, thanks spartacus!

thanks angrychair......much appreciated as well......all you guys were very helpful....when I get my new mags, I will be sure to keep my eye out

Pauly.....sucks having to learn everything all over again......but it looks like I am missing the feed lips.....wonder how and when that happened.....hope I can get another, but I just ordered a US mag, but I still need this 5 rounder if I want to take it in the woods here in NY...

I should be able to order that part, right? thanks a ton angrychair!!

yeah.....looks like I am missing that metal piece.......do they fall off easily? I never dropped it, don't know how it would go missing......weird....

can anyone take a pic of the clip as it should look (ya know, what actually keeps the shells in), I never remember seeing any metal on the magazine itself.......maybe something did fall off.......hmmmmm.....

yes, they are 12 gauge shells......LOL

what happens, when I push the shells in, they fly out.....there is nothing keeping them in the magazine......something must have broke off the magazine lip or something.......no clue.....I had a stroke a year and a half ago, and I am just now picking my gun up again......

Has anyone else had a problem with the stock clips failing? I threw 5 rounds out of my saiga and now I can't get the shells to stay in the clip......I just ordered a couple USA made clips, but just wondering if anyone else had the same problem...... Dave

Amen to that, the next best thing is vintage stereo stuff....LOL......I am in the doghouse for that too....but that is a whole other forum. I must say though, I have a surplus in both areas (money wise) , so why complain. I invested a quarter of the value in both areas, she loves the sound of my house system, so maybe I just need her to shoot some guns and get her to appreciate them as well. eh?? eh?? LOL.

Here I go again, I just bought a case of 7.62 ammo tonight for 190.00 for my Norinco and a few boxes of ammo for my Saiga 12, they are sitting in my truck waiting for the wife to go to bed.......no shit eatin grin tonight, just waiting.....LOL. I learned my lesson quite well. Can't wait to get my father's 1917 30-06 Eddystone tomorrow, she can't say anything about that, it is free and it comes with a gun cabinet for all my other babies....LOL. By the way, the ATF was at my local gunstore poking around to see what is going faster, guns, or ammo. They are trying to get an idea if we customer

I got my new saiga 12 last week and I left it in the truck until I could sneak it in. The problem is that I couldn't wipe the shit eatin' grin off my face...>LOL. She knew something was up, so I told her I bought a new gun....she asked,"how much was it?" I replied that it was only 175.00 thinking it wouldn't be that much of a big deal. She stormed in the bedroom and started throwing all my clothes around like a mad woman telling me to leave.....LOL, I wonder what would have happened if I told her how much I actually spent. She got over it, but it was a very harsh four days. If I could

I live in a rural area and last winter some thief was breaking into a gas station across from my house. I called 911 and the operator is asking all these questions about me, my age, my address......who the hell cares about me, come and get this fool. Anyway, it took the state boys over 45 mins. to get there......20 mins. too late. The cops show up the next day and grill me for 20 mins. Screw it, the next time I just won't call. I don't need the headache.....45 mins. is totally unacceptable, and then they want answers to their questions (me to do their police work). At least I know that i

I have heard the same thing here in NY, that a whole shipment of Saigas are tied up in customs and won't be available until mid-late July. I also heard that this may be the last shipment of Saigas for a year or more while the factory re-tools for a new caliber to come out next year. I just got my Saiga 12 last week for $465....after tax it cost me $502. It was his last Saiga 12 although he has some 7.62's,a .308 rifle, and two .308 carbines, .223's, 20 and 410 gauges left. If I had the money I would have gotten another, but the dealer wouldn't dicker on the prices (I only was willing to sp

I don't think Saiga 12's handle non-lethal rounds. I did see a really nice Mossberg (Ibelieve) the other day when I bought my Saiga. IT was a pump, stainless steel with an adjustable stock, and a doorbuster choke......she was just beautiful. If I wasn't so hell bent on this Saiga, I would have taken her home.

We must fear Obama and what he will do.(NOt only with gun rights, but I hear and see alot of reverse racism coming out of his mouth/pen) If he can't take the guns away, I can just about promise that he will make it almost unaffordable to purchase certain types of ammo....just as NYS lawmakers did to smokers with their cigarettes. So I would stock up on tons of ammo now, and get a reloading kit. If it takes voting for an administration that mimmicks Bush's, so be it, at least I know my right to bear arms won't be infringed on. They can just try to take our guns........there would be a revol

I just picked up a spankin new 12, after tax, it cost me 502.00. The only dealer in upstate NY that had them, and I got the last one. From what I hear, there won't be any imports for quite some time while they retool the factory, I guess they are coming out with a new caliber, I believe it is a 7.62x54, not quite sure....so don't quote me on that. I also heard that there are alot of Saigas held up in customs, and won't be released til later in July....and I believe there won't be many 12's in that stockpile. The dealers are even having a hard time grabbing them. I know the guy I got my 12
