cfpkiller 2 Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 (edited) help i shot about 25 rounds or 2 3/4 bucks and slugs and after the the last shot the shell didnt eject. I tried to cycle the bolt and after a few tries it finally came out. After disassembly of the spring i found that the guide broke and the 2 piece spring guide came aprt and will fit together but after cyling it will sperate to far and when cycling the bolt the 2 rods would collide and cause the jam. Does anyone know where i can get this part? this really suxs. thanks for any advise. Edited November 2, 2008 by cfp636 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They do not have it listed on the site, but give them a call and they usually have other parts in stock. Send me an email if they do not have one and I may be able to find one for you.

IndyArms 10,186 Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 Someone ACTUALLY BROKE a Saiga 12 gauge?!?!?!? Unthinkable!!! ABSURD!!!! Maybe absolute worst case scenario.. get a local welder ( see the yellow pages) to put a little nub on there to hold it together... might be a relatively cheap fix ( less than 20 bucks...)

WardenWolf 6 Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 RAA also should be able to fix you up. They reportedly have excellent customer service. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cellsworth 21 Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 I don't think RAAC would give you any trouble, especially if you send them the pictures showing the break. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cfpkiller 2 Posted November 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 yeah ur absolutley right, i called them this morning and he knew my name from an email i sent them saturday. All he asked was that i give him my serial number off gun and will send it asap. he also asked if i could send the recoil soring assembley back so he can send it to the factory so they can see what happend, maybe i had a defective guide and it had a hairline crack noonne saw. anyways if fix it myself last night and crimped the ends so rods couldstay 2gether. 2day i shot 50 rounds of oo buck and slugs and it shot all rounds without a hitch.

I hate to bring back a really old thread but i recently just had the same exact problem. I just dropped it in the mail to RAAC and hopefully it gets back quickly. was this a problem after the replacement? or were there anymore occurances? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
