My Saiga has all 4 holes in a diamond pattern. I checked it when I first got it. I've polished up the carrier, the bolt, the hammer and trigger.
I should emphasize that it works when fired from the shoulder at less than 3 shots a second with the #8 shot Wally World value pack ammo. It's just when I hold it below my armpit and start shooting 5 or 6 shots a second that it messes up using those. If I put #6 loads with a tad more drams of powder, it eats it up like Rosie at a dounut shop.
If/when they get put on a list, replacement parts would depend on if they regulate those too or not. Obviously, receivers would be the same as the gun itself. Parts like bolts and such SHOULDN'T be affected, I don't think. That's not to say Saiga parts are easy to get NOW. LOL
