d3ceased 0 Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Just received a "brand new" Saiga 12, not sure if this is normal - but i noticed that when i tilt the gun back and forth, something is sliding back and forth in the foregrip or something. I know its not in the barrel or gas tube.... Also, does the gun get factory tested? I noticed there was a little bit of residue from an obvious use of at least 1 shell down the barrel. (Bought it ftf trade, didn't get the best look at it as it was pitch black outside in the middle of bfe - he said it was brand new but who knows right?) It seems like a minor thing, im overall happy i got it and can't wait to do conversion/mods Quote Link to post Share on other sites
corbin 621 Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Welcome to the forum. What you're hearing is the puck moving inside the gas block. That's normal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mullet Man 2,114 Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 (edited) It's the gas puck in the gas block. Shoot it enuf and carbon build up will keep it from rattling. It's normal.

Big John! 2,062 Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 It must be broken if parts are rattling inside. I'll take one for the team and give you $500 for it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sean8642 77 Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 You can unscrew the gas regulator at the front and see the little part move if you are really curious. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

M49907 3 Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 I don't think they test fire them. I would take a guess and say there was just a little crud inside your barrel from when it was assembled at the factory. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Big John! 2,062 Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 That joke is getting way too old. Which joke? The one where you put a ball bearing in the gas tube when you sell a gun to freak the new owner out? FWIW… My offer of $500 to take the broken gun was no joke. Now I have to give him $551 dammit.
