  14. Different Factory 10 round Magazines?

    in Saiga 7.62 X 39

    Posted

    I have a SGL-20 that accepts both the 30 round polymer magazines and steel AK mags without a problem. I purchased an older 2002 factory 10 round magazine (no caliber markings like my .223 magazine) and it is barely too wide to be inserted.

     

    Are the newer factory magazines different?

     

    If so, how can one tell the difference between old model and new (do the say the caliber on the side of the magazine?)

     

    A picture of a new manufactered one would be most kind.

     

    Thank you!

  17. Arsenal Customer Service Nightmare!!!!

    It all started last November. The new Arsenal SGL10s were out. Called Arsenal to ask why they didnt convert them all the way. They gave some BS answer but said there probably werent going to get any more of the rifles from Russia. Got an okay deal on one and arrived in about three weeks. No target paper and misformed rear sight block. Damn! Called Arsenal, got an RMA number, they got my rifle beginning of January.

     

    About a month later, the SGL20 model is out. Called Arsenal, spoke with Nadia. They havent even gotten to my rifle yet. I guess they were to busy converting rifles that they werent expecting to get from Russia. I asked to speak to a manager. None available, the supervisor (no names would be given) will call you back tommorrow. No Call.

     

    A month later called again, spoke with Nadia. No status on my rifle. I asked to speak to a manager. None available, the supervisor (no names would be given) will call you back tommorrow. No Call.

     

    Three weeks later I called again, spoke with Nadia. No status on my rifle. I asked to speak to a manager. None available, the supervisor (no names would be given) will call you back tommorrow. I asked if Arsenal was doing the conversions in house. She replied telling me that would be like giving out the secret recipe for Coke.

     

    DID receive a call from the owner the next day! He said that there was nothing they could do to fix the sight block. I asked like I did before if I could pay extra and get a SGL-20 then. After a long debate, he said he would pick out a nice one with black furniture, 30 round magazine and compensator. He said they only had the Warsaw Stock in black. They had 5 black ones in stock, and they would pick out a nice one for me. I said great. He would call me in a couple weeks and let me know the additional cost.

     

    A week later they called and asked me to send all the accessories that went with the SGL10. I sent them in. A couple weeks later they informed me the additional price was $250 dollars....and to send in a money order. I did.

     

    Got the rifle yesterday and was all excited. Open it up and what do I find.......green furniture, muzzle nut, five round magazine, no accessories. Damn!

     

    Called today, spoke with Nadia. She said they were out of black by the time they got around to picking one out for me. She said if I wanted to I could take off the furniture and send it in, they would send me replacement furniture.....damn. I informed her that the owner said it would be black, and come with a muzzle brake and 30 round mag. She then had the nerve to tell me that she was next to the owner when he spoke with me, and that he never said that. For the "deal" of only $250, that cant possibly include a muzzle compensator and a 30-round magazine. There was nothing else she could do, and hung up on me.

     

    Five months later and Im worse off than I started. I could have sold my SGL10 and bought a new, black SGL20 with a compensator, for less time and money. It is amazing when you call, you can only talk to Nadia....or should I say Nada!!!

     

    Thought you might want to know.
