Keyholing Saiga Issue Solved

Recommended Posts

My Saiga variant started keyholing. Tier One finally diagnosed it as a brake issue after a new brake was put on and the old one could be carefully inspected. By Process of elimination,  ammo switched ,  barrel inspection indicated barrel was ok.  So, what else could it be---the brake. Turns out the pinned but non welded brake was moving all so slightly, probably thousands of an inch when the rifle was being fired, just enough to effect bullet spin. Put on a brake recommended by AKOU and sold by them--BD2, (great brake and good price)- Tier One pinned and welded the new brake.  Problem solved. If you rifle develops keyholding, go through the steps before you spend the $ for a rebarrel. Sometimes a non welded pin can start to walk out and you might not even realize it.
