[QUOTE="Dr_Mitch, post: 1491317, member: 7417"] You can have the bolt relieved to eliminate the deformed shotshell issue. Good luck finding a gunsmith that will do it, as Saiga replacement parts are almost non-existent. Otherwise, shooting any high-brass load will function the gun perfectly reliably 100% of the time. You should get a box of dirt cheap AA or other crap-type birdshot, and then compare one physically next to a buckshot shell; there will be many questions answered, especially the nearly 1/8" difference in the length of the two shells. The cheap shotshells don't work well at all in a Saiga. I thought the trigger on mine was excellent, but I had a later model gun with none of the issues of the older generations of Saigas. They are great, and I only sold mine to fund a less-costly 3Gun competition shotty. [/QUOTE]
