Yes it is a true working double stack mag that MikeD has developed. Mike will be around to make an official statement with all the info soon. Greg Pretty much what he said. It was a Prototype and Mike wanted me to spring the word on it. He will be in with some more info later.

I updated that thread. Hmmm, might have to look into a choke then. If nothing else, they look cool as hell

Oh I am sure it was a double stack magazine. Had 15 rounds in it and was about 2 inchs shorter than my Surefire 12 rounder.

Was the coolest thing I have ever got to shoot!! Thanks a lot Mike for bringing it over. Oh yeah, my shoulder feels like meat

Well, I think we have a winner. I was able to get ahold of Mike Davidson from MD arms and he was kind enough to come take a look at my gun. While there, I was from the hip shooting it to show him what it was doing. First thing he suggested was put it on my shoulder and try it. Bingo, started working again (For the most part). He broke down my gun and said that even though I got it used, it looked pretty new and I should polish it a bit. He brought over one of his full auto conversions and showed me what I needed to do. http://usera.ImageCave.com/GTTurbo88/DSC00644.JPG After the T

Thanks man, I will go through that list here shortly. I know you guys are doing all you can to help, just wanted to try as much as I could myself before taking it to a gun shop. Update. Put the original stock back on. Same thing. Put the factory plug and piston back in and tried about every setting. Same thing. Fired it with the cover off just to see if anything was binding or not. Same thing. No one saw anything out of the ordinary (Had people watching as I fired it) It really looks like a gas issue as it looked like it just was not pushing it back far enough to eject the spent

I have not put the original stock back on. The forward screw looks like it is all the way down as the spring fits back in there with no issues. I can cycle rounds by hand and with a spent round, I can get it to eject. I did try a hotter load today with this soft spring and it did seem cycle the round. The second/third round though was a Federal round and after the second one fired it did not cycle it.

Ok, still does not work. I got the low brass spring and tried it again. Still does not work. I tried both clips, both ammos and just about every setting possible on the gas plug. I mean, this is just plain frustrating. I saw that Mike Davidson lives in Dayton, I am going to see if he can take a look at it. If anyone else has some other ideas, I am all ears.

I could hear the gas pistion moving around in there, I guess that it was in there. I did get my new gas puck and plug and it made no difference. I even got some different ammo, Winchester (Still Wal-Mart stuff). No dice. I did order the smaller spring so we will see how that goes.

I checked the spring tonight. Pretty much only fits in there one way, so it does not look like that is it. When the problem first happened, all I had done was remove the top cover and pull the spring. Seems like that WOULD be the issue, but Ill be damned if I can find it. Everything I have been reading has said an upgraded gas piston and plug would help. Would it? Cobra 76 two - What would a choke do in my case? I guess I am not clear on what it would provide. Dont get me wrong, I had planned on getting one as I thought they looked pretty cool.

1. Yes. Nothing "feels" different 2. It will still FTE. And I will check the spring.

Yes, I know it is the new guy asking the same damn question all over again, but I have been searching on this topic for two days and I just dont know anymore. So here it goes. Got my Saiga 12 a week ago. It was used and came with a 12 (surefire) and 5 (factory) round clip and a Surefire tatical forearm. I used Federal Multi-purpose load (Wal-Mart Stuff) and put 50 rounds through it without a single FTE on both mags. I ordered a Tapco stock for it and put that on it a few days ago. I pulled the upper cover off and pulled the spring as the instructions said to do. Got it installed and
