  1. Dillon d-Terminator is a great product. Nice thing about a digital compared to triple-beam scale is the ability to set a tare weight (empty hull and primer) then check every 5th or 10th charged case when using a powder measure as opposed to measuring every powder charge individually before dropping into the hull. You can do this with a triple beam scale also but it just takes longer, and some beam scales aren't calibrated up to the total weight of the hull and powder charge combo. If there is ever a problem with any Dillon product you can be certain they will make it right, and in a timely fashion. I also have used Lee beam scales (accurate but slow) and an ancient Redding ( slightly less accurate but more elegant and capable of weighing heavier charges)

  2. Mine was doing this too. I had reused the Saiga hammer with the G2 trigger/disconnect parts.I replaced the hammer with the G2 part and no more problems. Same deal on my 410. If you're using the Saiga hammer try switching it for the G2.

  3. This is converted to PG. I did reuse the Saiga hammer but it hasn't malfunctioned before I added the buffer. I was shooting from a sandbagged rest so I doubt it bump fired. I had a similar problem with my 7.62 after conversion but fixed that by using the G2 hammer. It has a buffer in it and works perfectly. I didn't use the G2 hammer in the 410 for two reasons: the disconnector wouldn't catch it reliably and the Saiga hammer is slightly offset to hit the also offset firing pin on my 410. I'm guessing that the recoil buffer is causing the bolt carrier to rebound faster than it should and preventing the hammer from fully engaging the disconnector every time. Hand cycling it with the buffer in it functions properly. Don't really need a recoil buffer with the light recoil from this gun anyway, just thought it might last longer with one. Thanks, Tom

  4. Tried out a Blackjack recoil buffer in my 410 today. Went "full auto" on me with a 10 round mag. Removed the buffer and it ran fine. Anyone else have trouble with this? If you try one you might want to use fewer rounds until you know it's ok.

  5. Does anyone know which is the right top cover for the Saiga? The ones on mine fit very tightly to the receiver with no movement or flex. I want to add a Williams peep sight but want the option to go back to the original. Is there a source for original Saiga top covers? Thanks.

  6. Removal depends on whether or not yours is screwed into the receiver. On mine it is neccesary to remove the gas tube by lifting up the lever to the right of the rear sight and then prying the gas tube up from the rear and off. Then the forearm just slides off the front. It may also be neccesary to loosen or remove the front sling swivel. On some versions you need only to remove the screw (if you have one ) at the bottom front of the receiver to slide the forearm off.

  7. You are allowed to have only 10 foreign parts TOTAL on your gun to use a pistol grip, flash hider etc. The Saiga shotgun has 13 so you need to replace 3 parts with US made parts. If you ADD foreign made parts such as a foreign made pisto; grip or flash hider you need to replace another foreign part to keep the count to l0 foreign parts to be in compliance. Check the other forums (Saiga 12 & 7.62)for more info and parts sources.
