I want to sell my saiga 12 for $550+ shipping but it wont let me post it in the classifieds. Any help would be great.

In the middle of buying a house, could use the money. I'm gonna post it online and see if i can get $500 for it.

I shoot the low brass on 2, the high brass on 1?

can you send to someone to look at? a member or smith before you get rid of it? you likely paid that for it and even new ones don't run well 60%+ of the time! Yea i bought it in January for $660. I'm going to lose my ass on it for sure. Its gotten to the point where I'm just disgusted with it. Its like a bad relationship, I just want to part with it and never have to see it again. haha.

UPDATE: I haven't shot this weapon since the last time I posted on here, so almost a month. I took it out yesterday is it jammed up again 2 out of 10 rounds. I just dont understand. Everything was the same as last time, I changed nothing. The only thing that was really different was the weather. I doubt that has anything to do with it. Also, last time I used REM OIL, this time i used CLP. Could be an issue? I think i'm just going to sell it. I'm going to try to get $500 for it, but that might be a long shot considering it doesn't run flawlessly.

I took it out on sunday and it fired like a dream. I left the quad rail on, but took off the top rail that holds the red dot. SO i'm going to put that back on and try it again, if it runs flawless again i'm just going to leave it go. Before sundays trip i had polished the hammer and BCG down a little bit more and filed out the opening in the gas block a little bit more. It ran high brass and low brass perfectly. No jams, no FTEs, nothing. I was very happy with it.

The CSS reliability kit has a 6 setting gas plug, I used that with the CSS reliability puc. Then I switched to stock gas plug and stock puc. Same results.

I am using the stock gas plug. Its firing the same with the CSS Reliability kit gas plug, so i went back to the original one.

Gonna take it out on sunday and fire it without the quad rail. I also polished down the bolt and hammer, it seems to run a lot smoother. I put the original puc back in. So we will see come sunday.

Yes, I am in Gettysburg, PA...I work in Taneytown MD, not sure if that is closer or not. Yea i'd love to test it out one weekend. See what could be going on. Its always good having another saiga guy look at it. No one I know has one up here, so when I even mention the problem no one has enough info or hands on experience with it to know whats going on. They have only "heard" of them.

I just dont see it being the quad rail. The gun ran beautifully right out of the box. The gun is only 2 months old. I shot probably 100 rounds out of it, all low brass garbage and it cycled fine. Never a misfeed. Then all of a sudden it just started jamming rounds. So with the quad rail and collapsible stock and eveything else that was on there the first time I shot it didn't make it skip a beat. It was odd that one day it worked, the next day it didnt.

Here is a picture of where I think the extractor leg is getting hung up on the last 1/4" before the bolt closes By mhagarman at 2012-03-11 By mhagarman at 2012-03-11

Caged is right, I'm referring to the last 1/4" before the bolt closes. I don't know if its that leg that slips into the groove or what it is.

HERE ARE PICS OF THE MODS AS OF NOW, MAYBE YOU GUYS CAN SEE A PROBLEM, CAN UPLOAD MORE PICS UPON REQUEST OF DIFFERENT PARTS By mhagarman at 2012-03-11 By mhagarman at 2012-03-11 By mhagarman at 2012-03-11 By mhagarman at 2012-03-11

Thanks for the inspiration evlblkwpnz and unclejake. But yea I truly haven't put a whole lot into mine as others have. All I've done is install the tapco collapsible stock and pistol grip, quad rail, minor things here and there. I bought the CSS low brass reliability kit and have gone through the stickies. I've re-drilled the 4 gas ports to 5/64" and filed the gas block opening to expose the 4 ports. I've polished the bolt and rails and that's it. So not too much, but the gun is only 2 months old. Maybe I am under-gassed still, taking the gas block back off makes me shudder at the thought.
