  2. Saiga 12 Bolt Head Damage

    in Saiga-12

    Posted · Edited by kwesi

    I slowly hand cycled and as I slowly let the bolt go into battery it hung up.  If I let it slingshot forward it does not.  Unfortunately I’m not overly mechanically inclined ( but ever learning ). Do these pics help:

    Tony did not reference anything to do with safety.  He did refer me to R&R.  I don’t believe I mentioned I had an inbound Russian complete bolt.  What are your thoughts on continuing to use it?  

    Are the Molot bolt heads plug n play?  I do know where I can purchase on but it’s not complete.

    I find it interesting that my friends S12 is showing the beginning of the same damage.  He only has 50 rounds fired!

    Thanks for all your help and suggestions!

    No problems hand cycling.  No issues with bolt going into battery either.  I sent the pics to Tony @ Tromix.  Here is his reply

    It looks to be raised up a bit which could prevent the rim from getting down under the extractor.

     

    My guess is that you have literally worn out the bolt shaft where it goes down into the body, allowing the bolt head to wobble around so bad it's hitting the edge of the barrel.

    That fitment is rather poor even when the bolts are brand new.

    Note: I sent these pics to a buddy that has only fired 50 rounds thru his S12.  He has the same issue starting to show.  My gun has 2400 rounds.

  10. S12 spare parts price check please

    I have the opportunity to purchase a as new Russian Saiga 12 bolt assembly and a new in package complete recoil assembly.  I'm not sure if either or both are good spares to have.  Can anyone comment on what a fair price is in today's market?  Thoughts on having these as spares?  Thanks

  13. Tac-47 Auto Plug: Cleaning frequency?

    Its probably not a good idea to take it apart at all. The version I have has a little plastic thing punched halfway through the screw threading and if it gets out of place it gets mangled when you screw it back together and its a bitch to fix.

    Mine doesn’t.  I did read there is a version 2.

  15. Tac-47 Auto Plug: Cleaning frequency?

    I’m curious how often users of the Tac-47 have found the need to clean and re-tune the plug?  Possibly cleaning the gas puck may be required more often.  

    The other day I began a range session with a clean gun and clean Tac-47 plug.  After tuning I had several stove pipes.  I believe they were caused by my Surefire 10 rounder.

    After cleaning the gas puck and the Tac-47 I re-tuned (second range visit ). I used a Saiga factory 5 rounder and she was flawless running Federal birdshot.

    I have a Tromix S17 with 8” barrel.
