EDA Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Anyone routinely use a coupler instead of a custom 20+ shell mag for their magfed shotgun? I grabbed a couple Buffer Tech Magcinchs for my VEPR12 to couple 2 factory 10-rounders together. They are solid! A bit slower than a full-extended round mag, but gives an option for transitioning types of rounds quickly and still retaining? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toothandnail Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 I nearly always go with the big stick(24-28 rnds), however I can couple a 5 rnd on the side for slug or buck shot needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiggerJJ Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 (edited) I had a pair of 10s coupled, found that the single mags work better. Plus I didn't have to have that shell stop hanging off the side..it got in the way a lot. Jmho jj Edited May 28, 2016 by RiggerJJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctay Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 They both have their place. Switching between bird shot and slugs are easy with coupled mags but with no slugs long mags work best for me. Hardest part is figuring out how to carry everything. I have a leg holster that I've never really used because it's uncomfortable and doesn't really hold the mags that well.

Tattoo Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Who makes the larger 20-25 round Vepr mags or the best parts to put two together on my own? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeAZ Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 There is a file on u tube.... Shows how to make and were to buy parts. A search for 20 round Vepr mag should work. I'm not able to download it here?????.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug H. Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 (edited) I use both long mags and coupled for my R&R Saiga. I have a 20, a 17, a coupled 12 using Arredondo's coupler and a bunch of 12 singles. Coupled 12 is good for stages where I have to switch from shot to buck or slug.

bmiller Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 (edited) Machined these new couplers this evening. Changed the design to take out and play and line the mags up accurately. The one with the cap on holds 20, the other holds 24. Bolt won't lock back on the 24 rounder. Ran a few rounds through them tonight with no problems.

Flatland Shooter Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Brian, you did exactly what I wanted to do with a Saiga 12 rd magazine on the bottom of a Firebired FP-15 magazine. A company named Maghack indicated they would "soon" offer the Saiga to Saiga coupler, but after watching their site for several years, I don't thing it will be coming out anytime soon. www.maghack.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmiller Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 My "soon" should be much faster than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flatland Shooter Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 You plan on marketing them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskapopo Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 They both have their place. Switching between bird shot and slugs are easy with coupled mags but with no slugs long mags work best for me. Hardest part is figuring out how to carry everything. I have a leg holster that I've never really used because it's uncomfortable and doesn't really hold the mags that well. Right on. I liked coupled mags for switching back and forth. Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VforVandetta Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 I really need to check this forum more often lol. I made the 20 round big stick Vepr 12 video when HigherCapacity was still in business(The makers of the coupler). They seem to have fallen off the face of the earth. Website vanished. If you need a ready to go big stick RIGHT NOW, you can get one from Dissident Arms : http://dissidentarms.com/index.php/store/ I will be beta testing some couplers very soon for a good friend of mine That will be good for people that already have SGM laying around. All you need is the coupler and an R&R 20 round spring, and then you can just follow the instructions in my video: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VforVandetta Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 (edited) Also I have tried the mag cinch couplers and they do work pretty damn well. Very sturdy. And they can sure take some abuse. I keep a couple of OEM 10 rounders on hand as they are just so buttery smooth on the reloads, although I will eventually make the switch to tuned up SGM's. I haven't tried coupled mags for mixing slugs and shot quite yet. I tend to just live on the edge and use the Matt Loganbill strategy - load my big stick with mixed ammo in the order I need to shoot It sucks if you miss. But it is sweet if you don't. The coupled mags might be good if you happen to start in a car or some confined space/etc. Edited August 25, 2016 by VforVandetta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
