SinistralRifleman Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 I've tried one recently, until high caps are readily available you'll be at a disadvantage against tube feds on courses of fire less than 20+ rounds. And you will definitely be at a disadvantage against someone using an open tube fed gun with speed loaders if you don't have 10 round magazines.

Topmaul Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 A lot of people do but your going to need a lot of magazines! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfmaster Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 The wait is almost over. The 10 round magazines are almost here.... http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?showtopic=12747 Now those with pistol- and stock-converted Saiga 12s can have 10 in the mag and one in the pipe for open class shotgunning.

SinistralRifleman Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Friday I received 2 prototype magazines from AGP Arms in Tempe, AZ to beta-test before they commence a full production run. Saturday I tested the magazines and submitted a detailed report to AGP Arms. AGP Arms will be making several modifications to the magazines based on my feedback, and that of the other testers before commencing a production run. We are getting very close to having the capability to use our Saigas to their full potential. I will keep you all posted on further developements.

Sako92S Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Why use Saiga when you can get Molot VEPR instead? Basic Saiga is missing all these great features of Molot VEPR Picatinny top rail, 2 lower rails Automatic last round bolt hold open Extended magazine release Magazine well 2 sided safety Folding stock Flash hider Magazines available from 2rd to 15rd at Germany Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakal Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Ah...because Saiga are 207 Euro ($249) vice 1,049 Euro ($1,300)? And because Saiga are available all over America and VEPR are not being imported? Although the bling factor is pretty high with the VEPR!

Sako92S Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Alex Saiga is here in Finland around 700 euros and Molot Vepr is 1150 euros. We are lucky that we don't have those funny sporterizing systems/laws We can even use drum magazines and 15 round sticks in our shotguns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinistralRifleman Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 more screwing around with 5 rounders until the 10s are ready... http://www.cavalryarms.com/vids/saiga-2.wmv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superfly Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 (edited) The Photo of Merlin Orr is my saiga with a 10 round mag, Tony did his thing to my shot gun and I love it. Edited October 29, 2006 by superfly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfmaster Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 AGP Turbo send us an e-mail asking whether we still want the 10-round mags. I replied yes and asked when they will be shipped. They said in one week. Can't wait for my Saiga 12 to have a full 10-rounds in the tube and one in the pipe for 11. Yahoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
