ktatro 0 Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 Every since I got my S-12 back from the gunsmith(maybe before I can remember) when I tip the gun forward I hear something sliding then *tink*, and if I tip it up I hear the same thing slide back then *tink*. It sounds like its coming from the area where you adjust the gas setting. Is this normal? Please say 'yes' I am supposed to go out to the range this weekend Thanks, Kevin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ASSASSIN 1 Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 Hi The sound you mention sounds like the gas tappet that is located ahead of the gas piston head , it is right behind the gas adjustment screw/plug and mine makes the same noise . it is nothing to worry about enjoy your saiga assassin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
G O B 3,516 Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 The 'tink' is the regulator piston. It' 'sposed to do that. G O B Quote Link to post Share on other sites
6500rpm 670 Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 Don't mean to jack the thread, but why does the 12 run a tappet? Additional surface area for greater force on the piston? Just a little curious..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
