The spring was used as-is, not modified. I emailed detail info to Richard-776.

Why is mag curved?? The curve positions the top-most round properly to feed into the barrel chamber. Rimmed cartridges, tapered rifle rounds, shotgun shells stack in a magazine with the heads adding to the height of the stack, greater at the head end, leaving the front or bullet end either unsupported by the mag spring or tending to be lower than the desired feed angle.

I finally got around to shooting with my 8 round converted mag. Worked perfectly!

Some people have shown interest in getting wood stocks for their Saiga .410s. Here is the result of my little project in refinishing the original stock to look like wood.

I joined two 4 round mags to make an 8 round. Had to do quite a bit of experimenting to get it so it would feed properly. Mags are joined using fiber glass cloth and epoxy glue. Feeds fine manually.

Life is 10% what you make and 90% how you take it!
