Johnny1234 1 Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 Hello, i am new to the AK and just did a saiga 7.62 x 39 conversion. After putting the rifle back together i noticed the action was a bit rougher than before i did the conversion (only had the rifle 10 days before converting). When pulling back the bolt carrier group the gas piston does not come striaght back in the tube, When going back to battery the black part of the rod (top) rubs on the front top of the gas tube. It does not hang up but is rubbing as the black part enters the tube. It seems like it would cycle but not sure if this is a problem. Anybody have a thought on this?

Lone Eagle 839 Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 (edited) Mine is an Arsenal Conversion, and does the same thing. After running about 200 rounds through it, it smoothed out. Edited October 9, 2011 by Lone Eagle Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shadoh 16 Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 Also, when pulling back on the bolt handle you are pulling the carrier to that side. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
