I did a search on poor cycling in Saiga 12's and found a few threads, but nothing definitive on how to get my saiga 12 to cycle. Please don't flame me if I didn't find "the thread" on how to tune these in.
I tried shooting some bird shot of all types yesterday at Burro Canyon. At first the Saiga worked fine, but eventually it stopped working. We single fed it and it would eject shells, but as soon as the mag was inserted it would slow down. I know high brass 00 buck works, but I'd lke to shoot it on birdshot.
What do I need to check to see if I got a Vodka Special unit, and whats the fix? When I took out the gas plug and examined the gas ports I was surprised to find only one port, not the three or four that others describe as standard on the saiga 12. Perhaps they are hidden and not located TDC.
I really liked how the gun did on trap, it was almost as nice as my athena and Citori, actually better from a recoil point of view, just a pain to load..
Are there any other add on options I could buy to make the gun work more reliably?
