I purchased a converted 5.45. It does not have a bullet guide. Does the 5.45 need one, or is that only a problem in the larger calibers? Help greatly appreciated.

Some say yes some say no. Mine needed one. It had a lot of FTfeeds without one. If you are using the 30rd saiga mags then no. Military issue then yes.

Thanks for the quick reply, goota give Dinzag a holler. Where are you in OH? I live by Toledo.

Have owned two 5.45mm Saigas and used surplus 30 rounders in 'em. Never had a ftf, or any issues but others have. You could always just shoot the gun to find out if it needs the fix.

Same here, never a problem without one. Shoot first then buy if needed.

I never had issues either, but I still installed. I do only because I figure the Russians who have been building these things a lot longer than I have should know what they're doing. Plus it just looks kinda empty in there w/o it.

Mine needed one, wouldn't feel reliably without. FTF with every magazine, its a pretty simple inexpensive install for some peace of mind.
