Tool capsule? I wish... My Saiga came only with the rifle, and little instruction manual, and one 10-round mag. No tools, no nuthin' else.

The pin that holds the hammer in place manage to walk out which caused a nice jam, but I was able to put a few rounds through the gun and noticed another problem... It seems that the front of the hammer and the bottom of the bolt carrier are coming into contact more with the Tapco hammer than with the factory hammer. It's not a problem during a mag as the force is greater, but when pulling the bolt back m
