Greyhoundman 0 Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 Is there any way to modify the Saiga 223 to reduce the distance that the spent brass is ejecting? I assume it is normal to these rifles but mine throws the brass 15-20 yards out and slightly forward of my position. I know I am lazy, but I don't like wandering around the range looking for my brass to reload. Any recommendations? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eudyta63 0 Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 That is normal ejection for a Kalashnikov type rifle.Also they are a little rough on the brass but nothing you can't work with.I have not heard of anybody doing mods to lessen the ejection.I usually use steel case ammo if I will be somewhere that is hard to find the brass like in a field with grass.At home I have put up a tarp to help collect the brass.

dmckean44 1 Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 I'm surprised there's no mods for this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
