Seems if they are the importer, they ought provide some product support, like spare parts.

I have contacted Russian American Armory 4 times, asking to purchase a spare fining pin. They never respond to my email contact nor can I ever get them to answer the phone. Are these guys out of business or just have really poor customer service skills???

Where can I purchase a replacement firing pin for a .223 Saiga? The importer does not answer my email inquires.

I need a new firing pin for my .223, anyone know where I can purchase one? RussianAmerian A. does not respond to my emails about ordering one.

I am not sure about the difference between the A5 and A10 mags. My experience with ProMag is their customer service is great. Break a mag, send it back, get a new one in the mail, no questions ask and fast turnaround. As for modifications, none seem to be needed to make the A10 .223 mags run in the Saiga. Mine feed just like an OEM mag. Best part about it is the ProMag AK A10 .223 mag costs about $15 as opposed to their Galil or Saiga specified mags which run $33. If anyone has a Galil or one of the Golani's the only mods need is to shave a bit off of the tops of the fee lips to get them

I use the ProMag model AK-A10 for both my .223 Saiga and my Galil.

The normal .223 AK promag is not in question here. This topic is about the saiga specific one. Promags are certainly somewhat disposable. However in my experience they work. Those that don't or those that break get returned to ProMag for replacement, which they do quickly with no questions ask. I have found that their AK .223 mags work great in my Saiga with no modifications, including without a bullet guide. I use the same mags with a little modification in my Galil.

Yes, the spring is present, FP channel is clean and clear. The FP itself has no burrs and slides freely in the FP channel. At rest the FP protrudes enough beyond the bolt face that it puts a significant dimple in the primer, so much so that there is hardly any difference between a fired case and one which is chambered. I think the FP is to long. If yours sits below the bolt face at rest, would you mind measuring the OAL for me.

Picked up a new .223, in doing the intial cleaning I noticed the firing pin protruded beyond the bolt face. In test firing it, I had several single round slam fires with a variety of ammo. The disconnector works as should and there were no double or triple slam fires. Pulled the bolt apart, cleaned the FP and FP channel again, checked for burrs etc. Reassembled and back to the range. Same thing. Has anyone else had the problem? Anyone know if the FP should be flush or slightly below the bolt face or is FP protrusion correct? Length in mm of a correctly functioning FP?

I am going to use a Dinzag bullet guide.

I want to install a bullet guide on one of my Saiga's so that I can use regular AK mags. Will I still be able to use the stock Saiga mags? I use this one to hunt with and need to keep it as stock looking as possible for PC purposes. Also to not exceed the DNR's round count in the magazine.

I want to do a conversion on a 762x39 Saiga. What size pipe do I need to make a bullet guide?

I have a couple questions regarding doing the conversion of my Saiga: 1. What are my options for a new butt stock? Where can I purchase these? 2. Could you JB weld the bullet guide in place rather than drill and tap?
