These are the last of the FBMG US made high cap bodies. I only have a handful that I have not decided to keep myself. I am asking $15 each for them. All you have to do is drop the internals from your 10rd mag into them and away you go.
PM me with questions if you have any.
-
This notice is for the pre-orders. Simply call the store. At the rate we are getting phone calls I am anticipating selling out before we get the internals finished and delivered!
-
Once the initial run of 2000 is done I will have extras, cheap for those that want to replace the aluminum ones Tromix did for us.
As for NJ, what if they were blocked by us? Would that cut it or do they have to be originally less than the 20?

After a long awaited delivery from the Russians on internals for the 308 mags, we are still waiting on them. So, we decided fuck em. FBMG is having the new internals cut into a mold right now and they should have the first batch out to us in 10 weeks. This will make them 100% American made. Stick that in your parts count ATF!!!!
To commemorate this wonderous occasion we are doing them 3 for $100 shipped to your door. You can buy as many of them as you like (dealers do get dealer pricing). There are 2000 scheduled in the first run. Once the first 2000 are gone they go to individual sales and $35 each.
The followers have been trimmed down a bit to reduce drag, and the spring is a thicker material than before for more pressure. There is no doubt that these will be the best 308 mags on the market. We were the first, have had the least issues with reliability and WILL be the best.
There were some initial issues with our first pre-order, No doubt about it. We now have a new accountant (Larry is long gone), we have a new sales system to track the orders and we have a new GM. He or myself take total and complete responsibility for everything that goes on here, so if you had a bad experience before and decide to give us another chance you know who to call with questions or concerns.
To place an order, please just call the store and a salesman will take your order. We anticipate the mag parts to be delivered the first of July, give us a week or ten days for assembly and we will ship them out.
Thanks for everyones support over the years, and look for another product to be announced soon!

FBMG is out until the Russians get their shit together or we finish cutting the mplds for the parts we need. Inn the mean time please go to Atlantic or ORF and support those guys.
Thanks!

Well, I do have 350 stashed away for dealers. So when I run out of retail mags I will have to crack that open.
The issue is the base plates and followers. But since we know the Russians fuck everyone they deal with (ask Aklex Robinson and now RAAC) we have been planning for this eventuality. The springs are US made, and so will the other parts very soon. Who knows.....with the CNC machines we are getting as part of another partnership, and the two plastic injection machines we may have a few new and very exciting things in the works.
Dont count us out of the race too soon my friends. We are doing lots of fun things right now that will lead to bigger things for the Saiga community.

This is news because Blain and I took the Russian rep around the SHOT show a few years ago in FL and ask them to do this very thing. At first the Russians did not get the hype and RAAC flatly said they could not import them like this. Maybe the Russians finally caught on and figured if RAAC would not do it they would get someone who would.... Maybe RAAC did not ask the right people the right way or ask for help from ATF as to how to get it done. Who knows but either way the Russians probably should not have gone around RAAC and in talking to Clyde today he was plenty pissed off about it.

We ask the Russians to being in guns that we could easily convert a few years ago. We even took them over and showed the the Arsenal guns and explained why they were so popular. I guess we fucked up on that one. It appears that the Russians have gone around the backs of RAAC and decided to sell these to the Bulgarians instead. I hope thats the case and that RAAC wasn't shortsighted enough to tell them no thanks we dont want them!
Honestly it would not suprise me if the Russians did that. They have done this kind of thing in the past.....
-
By hard to get meaning you have to call the store (801.571.1160) or shoot one f us an email and give us you r credit card, then yeah I guess they are hard to get.
Dude, just call us and order them, we have hundreds in stock.

I think the more likely possibility is that their reputaion caught up with them. Their site was filled with items for sale but nothing was in stock. I have not heard of a satisfied customer of theirs in some time. Probably moved on to something else. Let us know if you find out.
Not bloody likely. One or two people does not make for a bunch of upset customers, and we always try to make it right for them. Yes, some people got caught up in the move but they got their product.
Our site is down because we are building the new interactive shopping cart. It will have real time inventory, shipment confimation and delivery tracking information. That way, when you place an order and dont have it the next day you can look online and see where it is.
That is not the place holder that was supposed to go up.... Oh well. We will be back in about 2 1/2 weeks.
-
If they will not work, we will encourage you to play with them as much as you want to to see if they will wear in or work. Short of destroying them, we will swap them right away or when ever you are done playing with them. We dealt with some more issues with this batch, some got to cool a few seconds longer than others and hence the follower drag. If you send them back, we will swap them. We take those back to the plastic company and they give us credit towards the next batch.
To solve the problem in the next run, regardless of cooling time we have opened up the insert 4 thousandths of an inch. That should do it.

If the email does not work (and it appears it has not been, but I have not checked the junk box yet) there is always the phone. It works all the time.
As for your package, it went out over a week ago, priority mail. You can thank the USPS for the delays. According to the tracking and delivery confirmation number, it is still in Austin.

I am sorry guys, but with the holidays you are going to have to expect delays in the postal service. And as always, we are here Tuesday thru Saturday 1000-1900 MST. Calling is much, much faster in getting your answers to you.
I ordered 2 of these mags on Dec. 5th, my card was charged and I'm still waiting. I emailed FBMG twice and haven't received a reply to either one. I sure would like to know where my mags are. FBMG, I see you're replying to these threads so I figured maybe I could get a response by posting this here.Ben

Funny how things improved when surefire got in the game...
Sorry, they have jack squat to do with ANYTHING we do.

On an estabilished product, figure less than half. On a product new to market, figure less than 1/3rd.
-
LOL. I am pretty sure we got it. When it is convenient for you give me a ring and I can look it up for you.
These are going to be an instock item from now on, so there should be really no delays in shipping.
If you do not get your order in the next two weeks, PLEASE do not email me or post it here. Just give me a simple phone call and I will sort it out for you and make sure we get you taken care of. None of us come around here much, so posting here would really do no good to get the issue resolved. As usual, we will take care of any defective mags directly.
Thanks for everyone patience.
-
Just an update, several hundred mags, about 150 orders are going out tomorrow.
-
No, the mags are down to waiting on parts from Russia and they will be ready. This is an entirely different project.
-
No man, I understand that you are (rightfully) fustrated! It is just that the message boards are the worst way to reach us and the phone is the best. I want to get you taken care of, I just need to know there is a problem.
No, that's not my real name, but you can ask for me that way!

OK, I could not even type that with a straight face.
FBMG has had some ral growing pains and customer service issues over the last year. I make no excuses for it, I take full responsibility for it. Not many of you know it but we are for the most part a very small operation that is completely self funded. Funny how when ever any of you call you always got me huh? Until very recently anyway I have been the man behind the counter. In addition to that I also do the LEO armor sales, design and build the majority of the custom guns, and fill orders. We now have a couple of part time guys in the store and Larry will come aboard full time in Oct.As some of you know, we also have had some issues with our web site. Honestly I hate the fucking thing. It has been known to drop orders and time out at the worst time. If you place an order and do not get a confirmation email, please call me. That means I did not get an email with your order in it as well. As part of the expansion we are trying to get the damned thing redone professionally so that it ties into the new point of sale and inventory system. You will be able to track orders online and check real time inventory in the store before you order.
And finally, we are working on a new project that is not Saiga related per say..... but it is gun related and everyone who shoots will hopefully benefit from it around March of next year at the latest. We had been owrking on the US made follower and base plates for the 308, and we got the Russian drawings for their 8rd 12ga mags and had the computer work done so we could cut the molds for that. Both of those will have to wait so that we can finalize this other project. It really is that cool. I will try to drop by here more often and post updates. As soon as we get the contracts in place I will post the announcement and what kind of shipping times we will be looking for.
I hope this explains a bit more about us and where we have come from. But I want to say thank you for everyones patronage and especially their patience with us. Without all of you we would not have made it thru a critical time in out companies life.
Thanks again!

I appologise again for the mix up. We had several new guys trying to help out around the store and they took many of the mag body orders and dropped them into the same file as the complete mags. So I was not aware that there were outstanding orders for the bodies. I take full responsibility for the mix up and appologise again to you and the others that got caught up in the error. I am glad you are satisfied!
-
I better get mine by Sept. 15th or I'm cancelling my order. It's been almost 6 weeks and they did say middle of September. Well, they've got four days.
Ummm, have you tried to call the store? We had several order that got the empty mag bodies moved into the complete mag file. This what may have happened to yours. But either way, the phone number has been the same for some time now and we are there 10-7 Teusday thru Friday. Please feel free to call me and just like the others, I will make it right or give you a refund. But instead of just complaining about it, please give us a call and the oportunity to work it out.
-
Yes you can. There are plenty of bare bodies.
-
No, there will not be a price increase.
But here IS what is going on with the mags. We have had some setbacks with the molds. Until we can get it sorted out, we are going to ship the mags with Russian parts. We just ordered a few thousand each of the followers, baseplates and retainers from Russia. We have planety of mag bodies and as soon as the other parts get here we will get them out to you. (yes, that means the base plates will be black plastic, and no we will not have any extras to sell as replacements for the aluminum ones.)
IF you want to wait for the US made parts, send us an email. We do not know how long they will be, our mold cutter type guys are backed way the hell up and we are looking for another one who can get us in and get it done sooner.
WTB, Trunions and hand guards, and Stocks
in Want To Buy (WTB)
Posted
I need to find a few pieces to finish projects I have going.
1 RPK hand guard retainer for the fat handguards.
I need 20 folding rear trunions for Yugo rifles.
I need 10 solid stock trunions for the Yugo rifles.
I a few folding stocks and hardware, country of origin is irrelevant.
I also need a bunch of solid stocks for the Yugo rifles. Condition is irrelevant, in fact the worse they are the better. As long as they are functional, thats all I care about. Carvings on them are even better.......
