Stuck in "Saiga-No-Cycle City"...need to catch first train out

Are you shouldering it? I had the same issue when hip firing a new izzy. -
Im the OP for this thread and just want to give everyone an update. I was using cheap winchester shells that were several years old when I started this thread. It shoots great now and it was definately the ammo and not the gun. It cycles bulk federal great and im pleased with the weapon. Thanks for all the info and happy plinkin

Its in stock sporting configuration and I plan on "restoring" it. After recently shouldering my 12 it ran fine with 00 buckshot, but still fte'd with small loads, which is fine with me. Thanks for all the info. Im anxious to convert and will be doing my research in the meantime

Thanks for all the info guys, I appreciate it.

+1 What kind of ammo? I started with cheap winchester 'universal' bird shot from wall mart and switched to federal 2 3/4 00 buck. Some fte's were stovepiped and some were allingned with the bbl. Hopefully shouldering it will solve the problem.

Yes and yes. I visibly verified all 4 ports with a paperclip and used setting 1 for highbrass buckshot. I was told to break it in with bulk birdshot but this forum seems to suggest otherwise, should I break it in with high power loads? Thanks,

First off I used the search bar to no avail. So I got a new Saiga 12 w/ 19" 4 port bbl and bolt hold open (unconverted). When I shot it for the first time 8/9 shells failed to eject using both high and low brass with the stock magazine. I haven't shot it since. I discovered I have a 4 port bbl with decent alignment. (2 ports might be 10%~ blocked) And I was hip firing when the fte's occurred. My questions are -Can fte's be caused by limpwristing or hip firing? -Is there a best way to break in a new saiga 12? Thanks
