6x6pinz 4 Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 When installing a magazine does the bolt have to be held open? I don't seem to be able to install a round in the chamber and then install a fully loaded magazine into the gun. My saiga is currently stock out of the box.

shaneman153a 39 Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 It takes some practice, but can be done. Rather than locking in the front lug first, insert the mag at the angle it will rest in. Slightly compress the top round (about 1/2") and while holding pressure, rotate the front lug in place. It seems a little backward, but with practice it can be done. Especially with 5 rounders. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
6x6pinz 4 Posted January 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 played with a little bit and find that with the 2 3/4" shells it is not a problem. I only seem to have some difficulty with the 3" shells. It just takes a little more force than the 2 3/4" to make happen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
