[Original 1 Gen Saiga 410 recoil spring]

IndyArms - no one "told" me anything about dust covers or not....I asked the question here because many images on the net show with both setups.  However - they "All" did not come with the "dust cover" (not speaking of reciever cover).  I searched Russian pages and found the original 93/94 shotguns were/are configured just as the one I bought.

I have a 410 Receiver cover and the recoil spring works as advertised.  My question is if this is the original Saiga 410 configuration.

This is the recoil spring - no dust cover, as said, exactly as my AK74M

I understand the original 1Gen Saiga 410 did not have a dust cover or BHO, but I cannot find information about the recoil spring.

My shotgun has the exact recoil spring as an AK 47 and AK 74.  

I ask because all the manuals I have (.pdfs) show a different - 2 springs with rod and dust cover.

It shoots fine - just curious

Thanks -
