jdeitch 32 Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 I'm new to the saiga world so please be kind if I'm way off on my comments/concerns here. While seaching the web for anything saiga related, I came across the wikipedia entry for the saiga 12. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saiga-12) Under the heading of 'Shortcomings' I read the following: "The top round of ammunition left in loaded magazines will acquire an oval shape caused by the magazine spring squeezing the shells against a closed bolt. This will cause a failure to feed if shotgun shells are left in a loaded magazine inserted into a closed bolt shotgun for more than a few days." This statement really concerns me because one of the primary roles for my saiga is home defense. The time may come when I need to be able to count on that first round working after sitting in the loaded mag for a long period of time. PLEASE ADVISE. JD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ernestmayhand 10 Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Your gun got the BHO right? Just leave the bolt open with the mag inserted and the safety off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
