WTS one original Saiga 10 round mag for 5.45x39. Condition is excellent, with the only wear visible being minor insertion marks. Functions 100% reliably, I just now got around to drilling and tapping my trunnion and don't want to screw up the OEM mag. All markings (both molded plastic markings and silver ink paint markings) are clearly visible with little or no wear. These are California and as far as I know other ban state legal, I will ship intact to any state. Price is $50 shipped CONUS . . . and before you say that's steep, try and find a spare OEM 5.45 mag ANYWHERE, or take a look

They're not quite identical ftr. Circle 10's were made with a little better attention to detail. This is mostly evident in their width being more consistent. Every Circle 10 I've ever handled is exactly in spec, whereas the width of Circle 21's vary quite a bit, to the point that some won't fit in my Saiga's magwell. I will buy Circle 10's sight unseen, but will only buy Circle 21's or 25's if I have test fitted them first.

I use carb cleaner all the time, doesn't damage my paint. Just baked on rustoleum.

Yeah, I went to a fixed stock on my Saiga 12 as well. I just don't think the Beryl is on optimal solution for a shotgun, although I LOVE it on my rifle. Super high quality build and solid lockup. Bonesteel or OST with a Magpul stock would be better on a shotgun IMO.

Aerosol carburetor cleaner is my #1 solvent. Spray it down good, barrel and gas tube, rinse with water, scrub the barrel a little, patch dry and done. Carb cleaner is specially designed to remove carbon fouling and doesn't mess up paint finishes like brake cleaner does.

We are going to test the crap out of them before any get sold. Robert is at the High Plains Shotgun Match and then next week we are both going to the Rockcastle Shotgun Match in Kentucky. I hope to have one to test soon. I got about 2000 rounds of AAs that need to get made into hulls! Robert makes both long and short gas systems for his Saigas so he would have had to make 2 different carriers to make both work. This way it can fit all different Saiga variations. The left side bolt handle option is being built into all the bolts as you can see from the picture. Right side bolt

I was kinda thinking that. Better than WalMart #8 anyway.

Yeah can we please not get into this? Birdshot at close range will most likely make a horrible, awful wound that will usually put most people down and out of any confrontation. Statistically, though, it doesn't have the reliability and depth of penetration of heavier shot. If you disagree, great, but please do so elsewhere.

I'll look into the wax slugs more. Any tests been done and videotaped about their penetration through drywall?

I'll look into those. Are there any particular videos showing speed of fragmentation on impact?

They definitely won't feed. You don't feed them. As for wax slugs . . . not a bad idea, but would take some experimenting. I live in Kentucky, we have very good legal protections for self defense, and in my city at least law enforcement who are generally friendly to self defense. The problem would be, finding a bonding agent (and it may well not be wax) that would both hold the mass of shot together through firing and flight, but disintegrate upon impact with drywall. That may be an impossible task, although my walls are made of real old style plaster that's significantly more solid th

The reason why, in my case, is for the safety of the other people who live in my apartment building. What I want to do is simulate the monolithic hitting power of a slug with a fragmented projectile. Sure, shoot a zombie with birdshot and it'll dig out a lot of meat, but if you're talking about a fat or super muscular zombie, it might not dig far enough to reach vital organs (er, brains). Most well done in-meat tests of birdshot I've seen show that it tends to make a massive 4" hole, and we all know zombies don't bleed to death (quickly enough that those darn smart zombies might not shoot y

Ah ok cool. Any other opinions?

Where you cut part ways around a load of birdshot so the shot and plastic hull shoot out together unopened to make an improvised slug equivalent. Don't try it without looking up better instructions how to do it.

Search, search, I know this has probably been talked about 1000+ times, but this forum doesn't let you search for strings that include two character words . . . thus, sorry, but I can't search for MD Arms. Are these g2g? Are they better than DPH? Is there some reason I should buy one or the other, or a third product? Tac47? Gunfixers? I don't really know what all is out there, but not interested in the auto adjust plugs.
