One point on the yellow light question. The legal meaning of this signal is "stop if you can do so without endangering the car behind you" (like that 18-wheeler 6 feet off your tailpipe), which makes those who step on the gas automatically wrong. You can easily calculate what the proper time at a given intersection is if you know the width of the intersection and can estimate (or better yet determine) a reasonable stopping distance at the speed limit. Speed in feet per second is about 1.5 times speed in mph. A car traveling at 30 mph is going 45 fps. If the intersection is 50 feet wide an

My thanks to all who offered help. Now, if you could just e-mail me a REALLY strong grip!

Thanks for your prompt reply. I must be missing something, because that is the first step in field stripping and was already done. Does the spring come out with the tube? If it doesn't , I don't see how the tube can come out. If it does, the tube is going to take a lot of force to remove it, because it won't budge and there isn't much to grip on.

I got the gas tube locking lever of my new Saiga to move, with difficulty (and thanks to those who described the use of the cleaning tool holder) but can't get the cover off no matter what position the lever is in. There is still a spring--not mentioned in the instructions!--that I can't move far enough to get the back end free. If I can't clean it, I can't fire it.

The gun would be useless in certain emergency situations in which only military ammo might be available. Sorry if this is an old question, but I wore out after looking at 22 pages. Thanks, Cal
