My saiga .223 occasinally shoots bursts from one pull of the trigger. I have never modified it to be full-auto or anything it does it on its own about every 10 shots. If I chamber a round then pull it out there is a dent in the primer from the firing pin. I have cleaned and oiled the firing pin and it still is denting primers. When the bolt is removed, i can not see the firing pin sticking out it is slightly depressed. Anybody know how I can stop it from firing busts your comments will be appreciated. Thanks.

If you make the notch in the back of the AR mag and weld a "bullet guide" on the top front it will hold in fine. The AR mags will hold with just the mag catch cut in the back, but I do think the welded "bullet guide" helps. Take a look at the protruding notch, that is a "bullet guide/feed ramp". That is what you need to make on the top front of the AR mags to get them to feed a .223 into the chamber.

Anybody with questions comments or opinions I would love to hear them please post your thoughts........

I am un-clear of how you would like me to post the picks. I do not have a scanner and have to use a friends so it will probably be a few days before i can scan any pics of the modified mags. I do have pics of un-modified mags that will work. The mags i have used are just regular AR-15 mags made by COLT, exactly like the military M-4 and M-16 mags. It does not matter if the mags are steel, aluminum, or Orlite. Steel and aluminum mags you can weld the bullet guide on and the Orlite you have to epoxy or "super-glue" it on. Just compare the ar-15 mag with your saiga plastic mag and alter the ar-

All you have to do to make them fit your gun is grind a little off the top front of the mag and cut a notch so it will engage the mag catch on the saiga. After this they will fit easily into the saiga 223. I experienced feed problems so a had to then weld a "bullet guide" on the top front of the mag and have had no problems since. Hope this helps....email any questions. Doc2.doc
