  1. That's right what Yeoldetool says: Do not put oil on any parts in the gas tube. Make sure the bolt carrier groups is clean and oiled so it slides easily, and the bolt turns. Basically any metal-on-metal sliding contact. My experience with the AK platform was in combat, where we cleaned and oiled them every day and didn't fire as many rounds as you might do in a competition. As for the the Saiga-12, make sure you use the type of cartridge ('shotgun shell') where the nose (the other end from the brass) always curves toward the centre. Some makes of cartridge have a little flare at the end.
  2. Simple. You just shot over 50 rounds. Time to lubricate. Apply gun oil so that bolt carrier moves quickly enough. Works for me. I'm just a soldier, not an engineer with a metal shop.
  3. Many failure to feed (and eject) problems are caused by the bolt carrier not moving fast enough. More lubrication is often the simple answer to this problem. You don't need to modify the gun to make it cycle properly if you use enough oil in the right places. You might want to modify it to obtain different (higher) performance, but that's another matter.
