notadrone 5 Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 I have had this saiga for more than a year and today was it's final chance to before I started pooring money into it to get it to run walmart bulk. I have previously changed out the spring and had it polished by a local gunsmith who was admittedly not familiar with saigas. I had put hundreds of xx through it and a bunch of slugs too. Ocassionally trying walmarts again with no luck. After each outing i would clean, and neverdull the polished parts. Finally today i was able to cycle nearly 100 rounds of walmart federal bulk with only 2 fte. Now i just need more mags and higher cap. Mags. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Saw a 23 round drum for nearly 400. Way out of my range. I'd be happy with a bunch of 5 and 10s. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
