  4. *Pictures* Saiga 7.62 - Round will not fully seat; Breech won't fu

    I initially babied the bolt carrier slowly to see if it binds up on anything, but then I let it fly and it still won't fully close. That's where the dimple on the primer came from in the last picture. Also, when I let it fly, the bolt is completely stuck and I have to use a rubber mallet to get it lose again.

     

    The bolt carrier closes flushed perfectly without a round in the chamber.

    (Title should read: Round will not fully seat; Breech won't fully close)

     

    I had finished the full conversion a week ago and have been waiting on ammo to arrive. Now that it has, I was able to test its functionality (minus live firing it.) That's when I came up with this problem:

     

    Is this normal? Will it fix itself after firing several dozen rounds? It will strip a round out of the magazine and eject the round just fine, but the bolt won't flush itself completely forward:

    Here's a few reference pictures of the bullet guide. The shadows don't do it justice, but there's no gappage between the screw and BG:

    Also, I noticed when I fully cock back the bolt and let it go (as it would during normal cycling) the firing pin seems to make a dimple on the primer of the cartridge. My everyday nomenclature would tell me this is NOT a good thing, but I don't know if its related to the issue at hand or if its something AK variants do:

    When you pull the trigger, don't have your entire index finger wrapped around the trigger. The tip of your finger, where the fingerprint whorl is, should be centered against the trigger for steadiness, trigger awareness, and to eliminate swaying when squeezing.

    Never heard of them. I would just stock up on the steel mil surp mags. The tapco mags are really only useful for 922r if needed and light range use. I wouldnt trust them much past that.

     

    I will be using an Intrafuse handguard, and the G2 trigger kit for my 4 compliance parts (not too keen on a full conversion). I like the fact that the plastic/polymer magazines are lighter than the steel ones, but this will be my MBR/SHTF rifle so I don't want them to crap out on me. So looks like steel is the way to go then.

    Has anyone bought from these guys?

     

    They are selling Tapco 30 rounders for $6.99

     

    I was looking to stock up on some European milsurp steel magazines as opposed to the composite plastic ones, but at this price I might go with the Tapco. Thoughts?

     

    EDIT: Then again, I've been thinking: Plastics are for AR's 021.gif
