  9. WTT FOR A CHAOS TITAN and Magwell (with one mag)

    in Firearm Parts & Accessories (WTS / WTT)

    Posted

    If you want the JTE or Tac47 magwell, it doesn't make sense to trade away your SGM mags...

    Well, I want 12 rounders or ones that are modified 20 round sticks..

     

    The 8 rounder I dont really care for..

     

    Im selling the 10 rounder for money towards the Chaos Titan.

     

    What would be reasonable price to ask for the KVAR quad?? 130 shipped?

     

    I have to get the magwell before I can use it. BUT I just won a 12 round drum from tac-47 today (They kickass) and I might hang on to everything and X out the magwell. Just dont know yet haha.

     

    Most likely take the Tac-47 Magwell then a SGM/JTE

  18. Drums falling out of my Saiga.

    Neph,

     

    So you are saying that when the magazine is locked into place, the JTE/RAM tab sits at an angle against the magazine tab where the OEM would be vertical to the tab? I wasn't aware of this. Why would someone design it not to fit as the oem as far as the catch length goes? Everything JTE makes is supposed to "improve" the function. However, if indeed lengths are different and the extended magazine release doesn't fit like oem, JTE or Carolina Shooters Supply should have addressed this in the video. They make it sound like it is a direct replacement. I feel I just paid $30 to make my gun LESS reliable?! WTH?

     

    I don't think we have been told if the release catch is a JTE or RAM or homemade model...

     

    Both the RAM and JTE extended catches have about three times the metal beyond the pivot pin than the factory part. Means much higher forces due to higher inertia and longer leverage from the pivot. They also change the direction of recoil forces acting on the lever. The factory lever is nearly vertical, whereas these two are horizontal. Recoil impulse may act on the lever even more due to the lever angle with respect to the gun. I would imagine the longer acting component of recoil is the vertical, since the instant impulse into the shoulder is quickly absorbed. The inertia and spring tension of the lever are "slow" to overcome, but the vertical component is "slow" as well. Picture smacking a 100 pound steel ball with a sledge hammer as hard as you can. Not much happens. Then picture pushing against it for five seconds with your finger tips. It moves easily.

     

    I'm sure I am WAAAAAAY overthinking this...

     

    Be careful and use a little discretion when you take advice on a public forum. The majority of the people posting really do not have the experience or knowledge to give advice. Building one or two shotguns does not make them an expert!!!

     

    The JTE Extended Magazine Release was/is exactly the same dimension as the stock release. Three times the materiel????? You gotta be kidding!!!!!

     

    There are literally hundreds of the releases out there with no problems. There is not enough materiel with the extension to cause an inertia/release problem. This was field tested for months and thousands of shells before final design and production.

     

    Common sense would dicate, if both magazines and drums were falling out of the gun, then there would be a problem with too much length on the release, but if only the drum is falling out, then you have not fit the drum properly.

     

    Also if you have a problem or a question about a product, common courtesy would dictate that you contact the manufactuer or the distributor. I stand behind all my products 100%.

  20. MD Arms 20rnd Drum Will Not Fit in Mag Well

    in Saiga-12

    Posted · Edited by travistp

    Oh so your have problems ecen getting it to just slip in at all like sides are to thick on the drum or your magwells dimensions are a little tighter?

     

    Hmm.. if I remember correctly mine was REALLY tight on the sides but slowly the magwell shaved enough plastic to slide in smoothly.
