Navy87Guy 1 Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 I think you're going to need to provide a little more description of the exact problem before anyone can diagnose it for you. What do you mean by "jams"? Shells won't feed? Won't extract? Won't eject (stovepipe)? What kind of ammo (Federal, Winchester, etc.) are you using? What setting is your gas cylinder on (1 or 2)? Have you tried any other ammo (slugs, 00 buck, etc.) Jim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Leo.Kermes 1 Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 My gun jams unless I take the dust cover off I am using heavy loads can someone help? Take the dust cover off, push in the recoil spring assembly in, and rotate it clock wise a few times to get the little dust cover on the assembly to sit flat against the bolt carriage. Put the assembly back in the groove and put the dust cover back on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Juggernaut 11,054 Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Take a dremmel and "polish" the hammer up.... I had the same prob when my gun was new (Saiga 12, but close enough). until my hammer got broke in, it slowed down the bolt carrier enough to loose energy and cause the mis feeds you are talking about..... once it was wore smooth..... no problems any more.... good luck!
