ok we have a problem. my freinds gun works flawless with 5 rd mags but jamms with 10rd mags. BUT it feed ok its not clearing the camber(old round). it will load the next round and still have the old round stovepiped out the side. never completly ejected. we cleaned the entire gun and the gas piston.it used to work fine just started.he is using federals.i use remington and mine never jambs.can the ammo due that just cuz of the mags? thanks RON IN P.A.

This may help it may not, I notaced while firing the first saiga I got that the shell caseings are thrown alot farther with a heavy load like the winchester super X 3in mag 00B 15 pellot. You could try that load.

Ron's scenario happened sometimes with Federal rounds and pretty much every time with Winchester ammo of just about any kind.

 

Today, for example, I went out with Kent 1 1/4 ounce powder loads and Remington Sport Loads (1 1/8 ounce powder) and 150 rounds later, I had one failure to eject. *shrugs* I had cleaned out the gas chamber somewhat decently before I went out.

 

A strange thing, too, my father's Saiga-20 gas port I think was mislabeled. When I screw my gas port on my 12 all the way down, it goes about 1/4 turn past the "1," my father's 20 goes 1/4 past the two before it stops. I back mine off to "1" at that point, then to "2," and everything works fine. My father's, I back it off to the "2," then the "1", then once more back to "2," and THEN it ejects everything fine, no stovepiping or jamming of spent shells.

 

Could be personality of each shotgun, Ivan hittin' the "woodka," on lunchbreak, who knows...? Just thought I'd add that.
