Has anyone ever found magazines for 2 1/2 shells? if so where?

Still FTEs. I am going to polish the FCG and shoot it some more to break it in, then if it still FTEs, I am going to apply the S12 solution of drilling out the holes and/or adding another. The only problem I see is that the Gas block is not the same as the S12. the two pins are on the bottom of the block, on the same side of the bbl. Not on either side as in the pics of the S12 fix. Can someone verify these two pins will release the b;lock?

I postede this in the 20 Ga forum and someone said I might get a knowledgable reply if I posted it here. Bought a suposedly new 20 ga at a pawn shop a while back. It fails to eject after the first or second round. I disassembled and cleaned well. Took out the gas plug and cleaned the carbon out and cleared the ports in the bbl. (Apparantly not so new after all). Still Fails to eject after first or second rnd. Read on the forum that unscrew the plug one or more turns might allow more gas thru. Will try that later today. Any more ideas on what may help? Also read that one guy had the gas

Thanks for the great advice. I am not a new gun buyer although I do not have a Saiga. And I don't know much about them yet. But I will read up and then decide. I believe this one is unconverted and still like it came originally except for the bipod and sling (not leather). Mags are 1 30 rd and they told me 2 5 rnd. I am mechanically inclined and feel confident I can do a conversion, especially with all the good advice and help on this forum. Thanks again. I will keep everyone posted.

I found a Saiga rifle 76.2 x 39 at a local gun shop for $450. Bipod attached with nice sling, 3 mags. Looks like new but is used. Gun broker has plain Saiga rifles in same caliber for $350+ however not many are buying them. I remember a while back plain Saiga's were going for $499+. Is anything changed in the Saiga market? Other than normal supply and demand.
