Tokarev 0 Posted September 13, 2003 Report Share Posted September 13, 2003 Hi. I just bought a Saiga-12 at the Crossroads show and have found that it came with no owner's manual. That's no big deal since it's just a big AK. Anyway, I see that the gas plug has a setting "1" and setting "2". Which one should I be using for 2 3/4 shells? Is this an adjustment for standard and magnum shells or to step up the gas when the gun gets dirty? Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Goodman 0 Posted September 14, 2003 Report Share Posted September 14, 2003 This has been covered extensively. If you do a search on this forum with the key words 'gas setting' you'll get a wealth of information and links. Also, make sure to THOROUGHLY clean your gun before use. These were shipped with a healthy coat of cosmoline and you'll want to strip it bare. . . . even to the point of disasembling the bolt and pulling the firing pin out. If you neglect this you'll soon run into problems, so get the grease out! That said, have fun and report back when you're done breaking it in! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tokarev 0 Posted September 14, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2003 (edited) Thank you. It looks like this topic would make a good FAQ. Edited September 14, 2003 by Tokarev Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Goodman 0 Posted September 14, 2003 Report Share Posted September 14, 2003 Makc- Back in March (was it that long ago?) I suggested that your site might need a FAQ, though at the time there was little traffic or accumulated knowledge here. Maybe, as Tokarev suggests, it is an idea whose time has come?

jujaro 0 Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 Makc, there is written that i have to use position "1" when fireing slugs ? Even when i use non magnum slugs i have to use "1" ? I have fired slugs only once, thats why i have no experience, but i used position "2" withno probs...is this wrong anyway ? Is it possible the gun not to reload the next shell cause the pressure is too low ? (using "1" for non magnum shells, but slugs) ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
