Sale closed...sold them all OK, we imprinted an order of flashlights and the customer dictated a certain brand of battery, and, of course, the flashlights came with the wrong brand. So, after the swap out, what I have left is a bunch of Energizer brand 123 3 volt batteries. Life span shows 2003 to 2022 and batch number 0512A. These are now loose packed, so I will ship them out wrapped, but no original packaging. Paypal and or money order accepted, no up charge for using Paypal.

All mags sold

Actually they are ProMag Galil mags. The Saiga .223 mags have a taller front lip so you do not need a bullet guide to use them. These are Galil mags and need a bullet guide to work in the Saiga. That is why I had bought them, to work in my Saiga with a bullet guide.

Switched to the AR adapter and getting rid of excess mags. These have not even been shaved yet. I am keeping the ones that I have shaved.

Let's actually answer your question. It will not affect reliabilty. The Saigas are overgassed as it is and the gas port size will not affect the reliability from 21 to 16.5. Shorter than that and maybe. You can rent the recrowning tool from Dinzag and chop the barrel with a hack saw, dremmel, or chop saw. Just go slow.

I typically will wipe down the outside of the gun after each range session. I will use a spray cleaner with out removing the dust cover after 5 to 6 sessions, and will perform a full cleaning around 20 sessions. If it was a particularly heavy range session or 3 gun match I will blow out residue with some canned air. I lub her up with some Gigaloo every couple of sessions.

I've had good experiences with pmags, I'll try to mod some followers. I actually have some pmags that I plastic welded a fron and rear catch onto and have used as range mags. I had to trim the front of the mag body down to clear the two rivets, which caused the follower to tilt upward on the last round, which would jam it into the barrel above the chamber, which by the way is a great indicator that you are out, at least for range mags. Only problem was the severe side to side movement. I've bought a HK composite ar magwell used for airsoft which I am going to mod to fit the saiga. Once I

BlackJack buffers tend to be thinner than other buffers and thus have less of a tendency to cause problems.

OK, I went ahead and ordered 8 of these for my Saiga. I just received them in and it looks like you get a mixed bag of mags. 4 look as if they have only begin inserted in gun and never loaded up or fired. New looking bodies, clean followers and springs, and no sign of dirt or powered burn. The only scratches/marks are at the front catch and the rear latch, as if they have been inserted and removed a few times, there are not even marks on the followers or feed lips as if they have never been loaded. 2 look used, but very lightly. Dusty not dirty, no real deep scratches, and are clean insi

It appears to me you have 3 solutions to this 1) Send it in under warranty if you can find someplace to do it. 2) File down the mag release so it works on all of your mags. 3) File down the mags so they work in your gun. IMO it would be best to make the gun work w/ standard mags, and it's easy enough to get a new mag release if you mangle it, so that would be my answer. Make the gun fit the mags. I am leary of mags which are modified to only fit one gun. J said it best with listing your three options. Sometimes problems like these pop up, canted front sight blocks of example

Buckmeister, Just wondering if you have had the time to play with this conversion?

I actually ended up with one of each, .223, x39, and .308. I started with the x39 and used it for 3 gun, was actually looking for an AR for 3 gun when I found a deal on both the .223 and .308 in 16" for less than a used AR. I am a sucker for the Saigas. What do you want to do with the rifle? That should be your basis for your caliber choice. What do you want the rifle for, where will you shoot it, how will you take care of it? I am going to start using the .223 for 3 gun, it is cheaper for me to get in on the ammo deals with a group buy than it is for me to be the only one shooting x39.
