Since 12/24/08 we have sent out several hundred mags. We have been receiving 100 every 3 days or so. All orders placed up to 12/10/08 have shipped. The next shipment is expected on Monday 1/5/09 and we will be able to ship all orders placed from 12/10/08 and most of 12/11/08. Production will start moving much faster with the holidays over and the shipment sizes will increase. We will start catching up quickly on all pre-orders after next week. I am going to extend the $47.95 pre-order price until every pre-order is filled. We had originally planned on being caught up by the 1/1/09, but t

No problem. Thanks, Greg

The mags are designed to fit tight. Make sure your gun and Magazine are unloaded. Place the front hook in its correct place and grab the front bottom of the mag and pull very firmly back towards you. You will not break it. It should lock into place. You may have to tap on the mag release to release the mag. Do this 10 times or so and it should be perfect. You can also file the bottom of the tab a little at a time until it fits. It will NOT void the warranty. These mags are very strong and are made to fit tight. Some guns will be tighter than others. Please call me if you are still havi

That is a extremely nice, I can't wait to get some. Greg

Looks great. How does it attach?

I shot both mags in 3 different guns. My Tromix(mag well removed) and 2 NIB unfired 19" and 24". I shot around 250 rounds total. Federal #7.5 Walmart bulk pack, Remington OO buck, slugs, #6 and #8. Winchester 7.5 and 3" #4. All worked perfect with no issues at all and cycled very fast. I think these are outstanding mags. I see zero wear on the feed lips, just made them shiny and fed faster. I have left my 308 25 rd mags loaded for a year now and they work perfect. I would think Surefire and Dupont have been in the business long enough to create a polymer that will not creep under the pressure

If everything ships in the way they are telling me, I should be caught up by the first week of Jan. You will get an email notice when it's your turn. Thanks, Greg

We will start receiving them later in the week. It will take a few weeks to catch up on the pre-orders. The best way to get them is to pre-order from our website. Greg

Not sure which mag well you have, looks like any easy mod to make it fit the factory one. After I finsh shooting them tomorrow I am going to modify one for my mag well. Greg

Is this open to the public?

Actually you would want to cut it just below the second rib from the bottom, for an 8 rounder. You gotta leave plenty of room for the spring and follower. Yeah they're long alright! Not really much different to scale than a x39 with a 40 rdr maybe? Hell I think they're badass! You can cut them back if you want to ( like Greg said, I'll be more than happy to cut them back for you for cheap). That's the beauty of the design. In loading and hand cycling the mag, at least with this one, it would not load on a closed bolt at all, but was very easy to load with 12 rds. All the rounds cy

we need 8 round mags not 10 , 12 or 13 I have no projected delivery date for the 8's or 10's. I am sure Cobra would be willing to modify as many of these as you would like to an 8rd if you do not want to do it yourself. Greg

Santa came a little early. I received 2 sample Surefire Saiga 12 mags today. I am really impressed with them. They are very solid and smooth feeding. I inserted them into 6 different Saiga 12's and they fit very tight in 5 of the six. No movement at all. The 6th was extremely tight and after taking it in and out a few times it fit perfect. They actually hold 13 rds. I had no problem inserting them with 13rds loaded on a closed bolt with my stock guns. Some people may have trouble inserting them fully loaded on a closed bolt and that is why they are still calling them a 12rd magazine. The

It is an adjustable choke. Allows you to go from extra full to slugs by rotating the sleeve. I shot a 3 gun match a few weeks ago and we had a stage that started with 4 IPSC targets for slugs at 45 yrds. 4 for 4 with my polychoke. Greg

It uses the factory outside thread. Unscrew the thread protector and screw this is on tight. You can use a little loctite if you wish. http://www.saiga-12.com/proddetail.asp?pro...DPolyChoke%2DII Makc has them in the store above. Great item. Greg

I voted with you Top. I fell some people are turned away from the matches because it puts their inexpensive shotgun in a class that requires (usually) much more money for them to set up their pistol and rifle to compete in Open. Greg

No date yet. I will take some time to fill all of the current orders from distributors on the 12rd mags. Greg

Comparing the two I would say they are different materials. The forearm resin appears to be loaded up with glass fiber and is very hard with zero gloss. The mags look like a more convention unreinforced resin . . . my guess anyway. Same exact material. All products have 33% glass blended with Dupont Zytel polymer. The forearm mold had been sand blasted to remove gloss on the finish. It is very hard because the material is thicker. Greg I had heard they were using a 50% glass filled high temp nylon because of barrel heat. They do sound like the material is harder when they get dro

The rifle Tri-rails are all Gen 2. For use with all accessories. The shotgun versions are all Gen 1 and are only for accessories that are attached by fixed hardware.(allen bolts,etc.) The throw lever/quick connect attachments are a little loose on the rails. The folding grip will work great if it is attached with allen bolt or any other screw type hardware. Greg

I spoke to Surefire today and with the holidays, shipping is taking longer than expected. I should start receiving them next week. They also said they ran 2000 rounds through with no problems. The mags are 13.5" long and actually hold 13rds. They are still selling it as a 12rd because with the bolt closed it is hard to get the mag in the gun loaded with 13. With the bolt open it slips in easily loaded with 13. They are still calling it a 12rd mag. They are in full production right now and we will start shipping the early pre-orders out next week and should be caught up on all order

You can slide the floor plate off and remove the spring and follower easily for cleaning, Greg
