tophatjones 0 Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Hi all, I have a few questions about the bolt carrier. On my Saiga, the bolt carrier doesn't seem aligned with the gas tube. On the right of the bolt carrier around where the piston extension is staked, there are wear marks indicating that the bolt carrier rubs up against the gas tube when entering battery. When the bolt carrier is locked back, the "piston" part of the bolt carrier is noticeably misaligned to the right about 1/8". Is this typical of the Saigas? Will this adversely affect reliability? Is there a fix? Thanks for your time and replies. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jeez I need to get out there more often! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
