OK Looking over that setup I can understand why it would fire 2-3 rounds. Seems that would be a spring issue, the hold down spring (lower outside receiver) putting more pressure than the magazine pushes up.

I really don't see why it could not be fitted.

I did come across one option that so far seems the most viable and cleanest.

Does anyone make a LRBHO? In the limited looking that I have done I have yet to see one. Figured I would ask here to see before I try a go at it. I was looking for something that was not a mag mod and hopefully some type of drop in item and not a hack up the receiver thing. Ed

The #1 reason to opt for the dinzag parts was so I can use the upper handguard, also to make it look fully like an ak47.

If you notice the ejection pattern in the video a few of the shells are ejecting lower than the others. I would have to guess here that there is a timing problem and they are hitting something. I would be looking at the shells for tattle tale marks.

Yes the retainer is from Dinzag. The guard shape is a U, while the retainer shape is more of a V which means the ends are flared out but I was able to bend them inwards yielding a much tighter fit on the guard, esp side to side motion. Also at the range I noticed the gas tube was not heating up but the barrel sure was. I was somewhat afraid the gas tube would be to hot to touch and I would be touching it with no guard in place but that was not the case at all. Here you can clearly see the areas that need to be aligned.

I am looking for a trigger guard that is not aluminum, something that actually matches the receiver. Any ideas?

Ok I figured I would give one more update on this project. I was able to fit the lower guard in place, I also used glassbedding on it for a perfect fit and had to do some changes to the retainer ring but she's tight and holds up good. A few mods to the BHO. I can easily enage that and force the bolt open during operation (Meaning push the BHO, squeeze the trigger and bolt will stay open) This is pre-bed and pre-changes to the retaining ring. Basically I just changed the profile to hold it to this grip. I intend to apply park after I change the rear sights. But for n

how about some photo's of things first before everyone goes off on tangents and tells you to do crap that does not need to be done?

er? so what is the difference in the factory vs JTE? dimension wise that is. You should be able to bend the spring as needed to do the same job.

exactly I am with you on that one. $400ish for a magazine is just wrong on so many levels it's not funny. If you managed to get past the sticker shock you will see they list it as workable in 80% of the saiga's on the market and they urge you to use their service to make things fit.

I'd be interested in reading that........thanks! Here. http://forum.saiga-1...y-new-saiga-12/ Yes Warranty? Seriously? Considering they are not properly cleaned up when they leave the manufacture and they need extensive work to make them run reliably I would have to say if you are concerned about warranty's then you should be buying something like remington, bernelli, etc.

This looks almost like mine, I well documented the problems and how to fix it.
