shryke300 3 Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 Hey all, I know its been a while since ive posted, but the saiga is just running so strong! At least, until now. I was showing it to a friend of mine and he noticed something.... Rounds that have sat in the chamber have a pretty decent indentation on the primer from the firing pin. If i just chamber it, then eject it the indentation is not so deep, but it is still there. RIght now I am a little worried as this seems to be a safety issue. is this normal? I can see the gun having light marks on the primers form chambering a round as the firing pin is free floating, but the deeper ones (sorry no pics, not at a place I can take and load them for the next couple weeks). do I need to worry about it going off when I chamber a round? or if I dropped the gun?

Shandlanos 1,470 Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 Floating fire pin will do that - inertia causes the firing pin to lightly tap the primer of every round that is chambered. So, if you want to be really safe - don't chamber a round you don't intend to fire. Yes, it's normal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
