boomstick88 0 Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 Hi everyone. Newb here so please be patient. The piston that is located at the front end of the bolt carrier has sheared and is missing a piece of metal. Called everyone i know and no one has ever heard of this happening. im assuming it was operator error :/ . Is there a way to get a new bolt and carrier? I dont know very much about guns this was/is my first gun. I want to make this a reliable weapon ,but i feel i am to inexperienced to mess with it. Espically now that its damadged.

haugpatr 972 Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 Pics would be helpful. If it is just the gas piston(the part that screws into the carrier)there is a heavy duty replacement made by Tom Cole od Cadiz gun works. Vendors on this forum could install it for you. If the bolt carrier itself is damaged, you have a bigger problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fallschirmjager667 729 Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 call pauly, tromix, etc and see if they can fix it for you, i know what your problem is and id advise you not to let some fudd gunsmith who has never worked on a saiga before screw with a part that can't be replaced Quote Link to post Share on other sites
