essohbe 47 Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 That quality doesn't sound very characteristic of an 'Izzy Saiga. Maybe some goof pressed off the FSB and didn't put it back on right. You did say it was used. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BuffetDestroyer 969 Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 My Saiga 12 had the same problem but the sight was on the gas block. Do a search in the tech and conversion forums for pressing off the front sight. It is just a matter of knocking out two pins and pushing it off. When you re-install, just line it up correctly and hold it there when reinstalling the pins. That should fix it unless the drilled holes are really out of line. My Saiga 12 fixed up perfect and I had to knock the gas block off a few times to get the port holes correct after shortening the barrel. Otherwise, you can get a clamp on site instead of a pinned one if it is FUBAR. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
