I understand that and all, but all the ones come up as sold (or at least the part needed was). Its more if there was a giant elephant in the room, an obvious answer for its so damn hard to find parts. With a community this big, you'd think at least one of us would know where to get parts for our guns (not modified, not tacticool lights and shit, a place to buy parts so it actually stays running). I've contacted all the importers listed, as well as midwayusa, cheaper than dirt, and especially CarolinaShootingSupply, nobody's getting back. So, I figure one recent post for a gas t

Hello. Has anybody else had issue finding a store that sells the "nuts and bolts" (for lack of a better term) for saiga 12's? I can easily find a bunch of tactical attachments, but God for bid if i seek a bolt carrier or a gas tube. My gun is in need of a gas tube, and If anybody has one they're looking to get rid of (doesn't have to be new, just has to work in a non converted s12), Id be happy to buy it from you. Thanks, guys.

Hello once again, good people. What are your experiences on adjustable (full to improved cylinder) choke tubes. Easy to adjust? Any idea how they work? They have a few on CarolinaShootersSupply (i shop online there alot), and was wondering if you guys had any experience with that. Well, any feedback appreciated, you guys are really helpful. Thanks.

Hi guys! I've had my saiga for about a month, and was wondering what options you guys use to add optics. I know the ak47 dust covers cant hold a zero (or so ive been told), but if you're shooting birdshot from a shotgun, does it matter? And it would really be nice if i didnt have to permanently fix anything to my gun. Thanks.

Any info on how to get ahold of them? I've tried for about a week with the info on the website but nobody got back to me

thats another thing that pisses me off that i forgot to mention. the piston and gas tube gets dirty as shit. i will try a new gas plug and that hopefully that will take care of it. did it work for you?

I know fed is better, i just wanted to start at the shittiest ammo i could find (winchester universal in NOTORIOUS for being a tall glass of poop juice) and work up from there. Didn't think it'd actually cycle. Thanks for your help, buddy.

You dont need a gunsmith to "fix" anything in fact you should count yourself lucky your gun runs everything out the box. All you need is a gas plug. By plug I mean the plug you screw in NOT the gas PISTON that goes in the gas block. Get a MD V-plug, start at setting one and adjust until it cycles. I bet it wont cycle those winchester on setting 1 with the v-plug. Problem solved. I wouldnt use the auto plug for this. Watch where the rear of the carrier contacts the trunnion for marks or peening. This will be a good indicator of if your putting to much stress on the carrier but winchester un

You're thinking that this shotgun is really a lot more fragile than it actually is... From what I've seen of what people have posted up, the only real damage from an overgassed gun seen commonly is the bolt carrier cracking/breaking where the op rod (gas piston) threads into it, or the op rod itself breaking. I've seen some pics of rear trunnions being chewed up some... but its conjecture as to exactly how badly that has damaged the gun seeing as it is still functional. Personally, the only thing I would be hesitant shooting in a gun that was on the overgassed side would be 3 inch she

That seems to be the direction everybody thinks to go. My plug was stuck at first, but a simple shake and it fell right out, so i dont know if the plug is the issue. It kinda sucks to blow 30 bucks on a gun thats only a few days old. I've looked on a few other forums, and they think its a cheap fix, and Legion USA often just pays for reimbursement to have somebody do the work locally (with prior approval). Okay, so the system is overgassed, and alot of you people think a new plug is the answer. Which brand? More efficient is better, especially if you are only going to shoot low velo

More efficient is better, especially if you are only going to shoot low velocity target loads. What do you consider a low power load. What is the weight of the shot and the rated velocity? I don't know if you are experience enough to recognize bolt/carrier slam, but personally I would rather be able to regulate the gas down, than have a gun that barely cycles. You can also put in a heavier recoil spring and tune the gun to the loads you want to shoot. I found the 24" guns seemed to be built a little bit better than the 19". The actions were much smoother out of the box and they all ra

Maybe its not that big of a problem. I could just put the gun in setting 1, and leave it there. I'm still gonna go talk to the shop about it. I guess, if it did come down to it, how much would it be to pay for a gunsmith to fix it (approximation)?

Thanks. I'm gonna go talk to the store i bought it from. There's not a shred of warranty info on the box, thought the general rule is one year. Like i said, its like 4 days old, so it shouldnt have issues this early. Maybe its the screw in part? I screwed it all the way in, so it just fell short of the 1, then locked it into place at 2, the first place it would fit. Would that be the issue? Should put it to where it will first lock on 2?

Where would i look to see signs of wear? The bolt and bolt support? (just a guess) It doesn't make any unusual noises when fired. Thanks for the help, guys.

I guess at the end of the day, this is a warranty issue. I only plan on shooting low power loads anyway, but i definitely don't want premature wear on the gun. When i shoot target load, it feels as it should, it doesn't have a high kick. But i can cycle it flawlessly on setting 1. That can't be right.

23". No chokes, its not fixed, there is threading to screw something on. You're right, i found a third gas port.

It's H094. 2 gas ports (i think that what the new ones are). Not converted, in the sense it is bone dry stock. Trigger has not been moved closer to mag point. I bought it new, over the counter from the local police shop. Imported by Legion USA inc, located in hallandale FL.

Hello. I was having a special issue with my saiga 12, and i wanted to see if anybody might help me understand it better. I've been shooting for a few years, but just got my saiga12 3 days ago. I read about it online, heard from people I knew who have one, and the store itself, and they all said it would not cycle cheapo winchester or birdshot well. I've got about 100 shells through it, when i noticed a "problem" or something of interest. This gun cycles anything. Literally anything, On any setting. On setting 1 (set aside for slugs), it cycles federal and winchester universal flaw
