GT Marathon

I have ..out of stock and they have been for a while now I got an account with them and hopefully they will get some in stock ..one day ..as far as I know they are the only site that has them listed ..the search and wait continues ...

Looking to buy a Saiga .223 Bolt Head...seems easier said then done atm...prefer a new ..complete unit ..

Dam....was having some high hopes there for a bit ...well guess its back too waiting out Legion ..Ill be looking around some more for a proper Saiga .223 Bolt ...haven't searched too much lately they do seem pretty dam hard to replace ..bummer ..Thanks Again

Curses...foiled again ....thanks again ..I did find this thou ...what do you folks think ?...any input ? http://aa-ok.com/ak-bolt-head-cpt-for-5-45-x-39-ak74-and-rpk-74.html I whould rather have one with a spring loaded firing pin but this might do for now ..might be a very long time before the Importer can replace it anyhow ..

good idea on the Galil..anybody got one for sale ....? been looking all over for a bolt ..still hoping the Importer will come throu on the replacement but ill gladly have one of those but I just cant seem to find one atm ..madness ,,ready to start "W-T-B" threads ...and no I haven't tried shooting it yet ..just thinking ill leave it in the box ..stay on the safe side

i gotta say i have been thinking about ..just not sure how to go about testing it safely ..i bought this Saiga very recently ..and paid a pathetic some of 819$ for it ..plus Shipping/BC/Trans ..so off the top of my head that 950$+ so far ..and adding the 4 extra ten round factory mags at the un fair price of 29.99..lol one unit still had the old 19.99 price tag ...PLUS i got 4-30 round Surefires which where only 26.99 at my FFL's Shop !!!!...AND then i got my Midwest IND Side Mount ..lets not forget ths shipping with the extras ..cept the Surefires ..Phew ..i put alot of money down glad i did

Well heres my update for now ..its been about a month so i sent Legion a E-mail.. and ATM they dont have any Rifles and iam assuming Parts at this time they told me they will update me when deliverys come in but ATM they dont even have any shipping dates ...So...iam bummed out ..iam sure i will in time replace this bolthead but i dont see this happening for some time..never know maybe they will get some stuff in ..trying to keep my chin up here ...oh boy i paid alot of money for this rifle

Thanks Again..yes i do feeling lucky ..i emailed Izmash K-var Apex RAA and then Legion ..they where the only one who responded ..and in like 30 mins !!!!! ..WOW...gotta say thou till the part is my hand and off to the shop ..its not over for The Saga of My Saiga .223 But Im counting this as a blessing from Legion and thank you all again for your input ..prolly wont post much on this thread till i get the part ..when i do ill update ...PS iam sorry to hear that Brain M1

These things happen ..just another learnin experience ..thanks for the advice folks ..the Rep from LegionUSA asked me to remind him ina about a month ..so April 1st ill be E-mailing them ..find a AK-smith in the meantime ..give it month+ship time ..drop off to AK-Guy..then prolly another month ...for Head-Space ..plus General Saftey Inspect ...be ready to rock ..by May..possibly June?.."Back to the Mini-14's"..for now ..The Rugers have not given me any problems ...maybe a uptight new mag here and there that might need a bit more break in ..

Hello again ! i purchased the rifle from an auction site it was located in NY-State ..it was imported by Legion ..who after emailing them has stated to me that they will replace the BOLT they get their next shipment ..VERY HAPPY there ..hope that dont start a trend or anything ..so here are some pics of the left side of the rifle trunnion ...hope i got the angles you folks asked..some of the pics should have been a bit clearer ..hmm..as far the action goes ..no i dont feeling hang ups ..the same when i first got it ..

Took it apart agian ..no not seeing any cracks ..stresses ...nothing bent so far i can still pull the charging handle ..rather not do it atm ..but it will dry fire ..bit of brass shavings from the Federal .223 ..but thats it ..ill give a through cleaing tomorrow ..and look throu it some more ...just in case i missed something

On the loose piston Thank You ...kinda had a strange feeling they where like that ...russian..loose ..yeah makes sense ...was tight when i first got it ...but not anymore ..not super wobbly or anything ..just a bit loose yeah i wont be shooting it till i can get a pro to look at it ...i got boxed up atm ..still somewhat unpacking here ..ill give it a good look over the whole rifle when iam done with family ..btw i did check the chamber and bore ..i have not noticed anything ..was worried i might have had more debris in there..looked fine

well just that one round ..it failed to load ..thats it ..but when i removed the mag is when we noticed the "CHIP"..forgot to mention we had AR/AK builder shooting next to us ..he had an interest in the Saiga .223 befor we even took the first shot ..when he saw the chip out of the bolt he said " i whouldnt shoot that "..iam tempted to give it a "Test"..but i dont think i will..i got a feeling it need a least one trip a "AK-Guy" ..plus i have noticed that my piston is now a bit loose ..is this normal for AK/Saiga ?

Well there it is ..pretty sad sight ..dont ya think ?

Factory 10 rounders nope the rifle is not converted ..i got her taken apart ...the chip is on the left side... opposite of the extractor ..iam not very well schooled on the Saiga ..yet ..but i do have the part right in front of me ..i think you can say that the chip is on a bottom of the "LUG" once again on the left side of the bolt ..when i get home im gonna try and get some pics up ..hopefuly tomorrow ..weather permiting
