Spence 0 Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 (edited) Thanks to all for the forum. Great read and it sparked my interest to buy my first S-12. I am looking forward to doing the conversion. I purchased my first unit on Friday. This weekend I was cleaning and going through it. I inspected the gas ports. I only found two. There may be a third under the gas block, but I could not see any evidence of it looking down the barrel. Also, I removed the infamous puck. This being my first Saiga, I was surprised to see the view down the tube. Being a newbie, I must ask if this view is typical. It does not seem to be consistent with the way I imagined the unit would work. ie gas to puck, and puck to bolt carrier. Questions: Are having only two ports worth calling about warranty? Is the picture consistent with the design and operation of the tube? Thanks to all. Edited April 25, 2010 by Spence Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bvamp 604 Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 if you have two ports, your gun falls under warranty- verify with a bent paperclip that there isnt another one that you cant see well. the gas system in your picture looks like a saiga shotgun to me....thats what it looks like. take your gun out with some federal 1 1/8oz loads and some buckshot and slugs and give it a whirl before you call or email us for warranty, to verify that you have a gas issue.
