djt1991 1 Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Recently just got a chaos tri tail and went to the range to test it. The first Mag of buckshot and some birdshot went threw like nothing but then I load up the md20 and it's just a jam fest til like the tenth round then it doesn't act up. My saiga is a 09 with I know forsure three holes( might be 4 never checked!) and she's always ran like a champ even with the drum. Has any one else experienced this?

mscottrogers 56 Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 take the rail off and see if it binds up, i bet its on too tight. either that or the gas plug is fouled Quote Link to post Share on other sites
djt1991 1 Posted October 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 How could I tell if it binds? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PLUMBER 6 Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 go shoot it,I have a chaos tri rail on mine with a 20rd drum it feeds fine and ejects fine i not sure what your is doing but i wouldn't think the rail would cause the problem but I am not a gun smith.

mscottrogers 56 Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 take the rail off and shoot it, ,see if it cycles, just a few shots so it doesn't heat up or wear gloves, then put it back on and slowly tighten and shoot, it may have compressed the gas tube binding up the bolt carrier. how does it hand cycle with tthe rail tightened down all the way, if you have trouble cycling it by hand then it may be bound up. loosen the screws and keep hand cycling it. obviously while empty or using snap caps for saftey 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Black Russian 1 Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Ive never heard of that with any tri-rail. How far up does it go? I have a Chaos Quad Rail but only use the bottom section. No issues for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChileRelleno 7,071 Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 There is a vent hole on the side of the gas block, is it blocked? If blocked it has led to some issues. Solution, drill a hole to clear it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
djt1991 1 Posted October 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Im pretty sure that it Is the top slot that goes on the rail.the vent hole is almost all the way up against the top part. I remember now to when I first got my saiga I tried putting a Tapco infuse rail on it and it was even worse I couldn't go through a mag. Atleast now mags run its just the drum now! I'm going to try shooting it with no rail then just the bottom piece of the rail then if anything drill a hole for the vent!! thanks for the quick reply guys hopefully I get it working because I love the md 20. I Also had it tightend all the way so I could be that also Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pedal2alloy 206 Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Malfunctions with tri rails have been discussed a lot. Like was suggested, take it off, but my further suggestion is to leave it off. http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?/topic/79383-quad-rails/#entry790380 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
