Saiga 410 won't feed

[BritishAKguy 0]

Hi, first time Siaga 410 owner. I'm also from the UK which is probably a rarity here.

My gun will not feed at all. It looks like the cartridge is off centre with the bolt. See the below pics. I am using 75mm carts, which state on the box they are for 2-3/4 inch chambers. I'm also using the factory 10 round mags which state 410x76 on them.

Any advice? Thanks.

Do you have a picture with the bolt locked back with a loaded magazine inserted in the gun? I'm not sure if the magazine is presenting the round "high enough" to slide up into the chamber.

Do you have another magazine to try?  The 10 round factory mags aren't as common on this side of the pond compared to the 4 round ones.

 

We also used to have at least one other UK Saiga member back in the day but I can't recall his username.

Hi, thanks for the response. It was the cartridge size. I tried some true 76mm carts and they fed and cycled fantastically on the restricted gas setting. Next job is to test if subsonic carts cycle on either gas setting and getting to work suppressing this thing!
