avpfivethousand 0 Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 Ok I don't know why my saiga is jamming, I bought two pro mags at a gun show work great, then bought four from cheaper than dirt and they jam. And I have a new bullet guide and am shooting hollow points. What do you think week spring bullet guide need to broken in/ground down. If you know of any other reasons it could be jamming let me know. Thanks, avpfivethousand Quote Link to post Share on other sites
22_Shooter 1,560 Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 So are these the ProMags that are made for Saigas (with the same "lip" that the factory mags have)? When the gun-show bought ones were working great, was the bullet guide installed? Maybe check to see if you can see any wear on the face of the bullet guide. I've got a Dinzag guide too, and use HP's all the time with no problems. But I guess I can see that there's potential for an HP to nose dive into a guide. Check it out, and maybe you can see if it's hitting the guide. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kresk 10,063 Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 Hollow points have bigger chance of misfeeding than FMJ's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
avpfivethousand 0 Posted March 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 My first two I got at the gun show were labled AK 47 7.62x39 RAA and they jammed then read on a post here that a bullet guide should solve all my problems so picked one up from good ol' Dinzag and the mags fed like a dream. I found some more on cheaper than dirt for $15 bucks and couldn't pass that up. Filed the mag catch a bit and they fit just like the others, but took em to the range and they jammed up every few rounds, but got lucky once and a while and the would feed a whole clip fine. The bullet guide is a little dinged up should I take a dremel to it and shave a little off or just wait for it to wear down naturally? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So it's only the ones you bought online that are giving you problems, right? Because you ran the gunshow ones with the guide, and they worked? Maybe someone else who has had this problem can step in. I've never had a problem with HP's and my Dinzag guide (I use steel mags), and I'd hate to tell you to file the guide, and then that create problems. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Teaser 0 Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 (edited) Hello all, Sorry if this has been covered, but do these magazines have the same part number? Just asking. Apple to Apple? Edited March 23, 2009 by Teaser Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GimmeLiberty 0 Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 I have a couple ProMags for my 7.62. They both jam on the last two rounds for some reason. My surefire mags have never had a jam. The ProMags for my S12 work great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
avpfivethousand 0 Posted March 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Maybe I'll pick up a steel mag or two and see if that solves anything. Anyone know where I can get some decent looking ones for a good price? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
