Hello, I bought a new saiga 7.62 last October new in box from registered dealer. It came with manual, Russian certification, 10 rd. Mag and gun lock. Had my first chance to try to shoot it today, but it didn't chamber a round.
I thought okay strange, so I pulled back slowly on retracting mechanism and looked between the gap that's created by it and the safety.
I noticed the tip of the fmj round was pointing down, and was located about 1/8-1/4 inch away from the chamber, under the trunnion. The back of the round was just a froghair away from the bolt, but just enough it wouldn't catch or feed the round. What's going on?
P.S. I'm relatively new to the saiga's, but it seems like the wrong magazine, but it came with the gun. Many thanks in advance!
