KA-SG01A improved gas tappet for Saiga-12 shotgun
This is the KA-SG01A improved gas tappet which is the stainless steel version of the original KA-SG01 unit. This tappet is made from high quality 440C stainless, carefully heat treated to 52-54 HRC, then centerless ground to ensure precise tolerances. This tappet is extremely corrosion-resistant and runs longer without cleaning even in wet environments. It also improves cycling reliability, even with "plinking" loads such as "bulk pack" birdshot. Zero expense is spared on material and manufacturing, unlike the many "discount" knockoffs of this part that are on the market.
NOTE: The KA-SG01A was designed around the OEM gas plug, we recommend using the OEM plug unless your Saiga-12 is "overgassed". Many of the aftermarket plugs will cause an additional increase in initial volume in the gas system and can cause your gun to cycle weaker than it would with the OEM plug in place. Consult Tech Bulletin TB12-001 for more details and for diagnostic help on Saiga-12 shotguns.
