sacsucks 3 Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 I only put about 20 rounds through my saiga 12 last weekend and noticed when cleaning that I had a good nick on the side of the piston. The only thing I did differently this time at the range was use a couple of rounds of 3 in magnum slugs. But I really only fired about 2 or 3 of them as they are too much for me in a 30 yd indoor range. Could the mag slugs have caused the piston to get damaged this way? I could not find any unusual debris or dents on the inside of the gas system. Is there any need to smooth it down now? Do I have an over gassed gun after my conversion? Appreciate comments and ideas.

Lone Star Arms 2,047 Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Seems unusual. Looks like it may have hit the lip at the back of the gas chamber. I would go in with a flashlight and check both sides. Hows well is it secured to the bolt carrier? Do you have extra play there? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
