Zebra 0 Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 this is a very cool idea. how much are we talking price-wise for the adaptor? also since you designed and tested this adaptor and know how its supposed to fit would you be willing to accept rifles and install the adaptor personally? also maybe i missed it but what is the current releiblity of this conversion? basically here is what i'm saying if the price for the adaptor and installation is sub $250 and functions flawlessly then i'm pretty much sold.

BattleRifleG3 16 Posted June 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 Sub-$250 is right, sub-$150 is almost a certainty. As far as reliability goes, I wouldn't say "flawless" just yet, but I have cycled complete mags without a hiccup. Hopefully the latest improvement will make that the norm. Unfortunately I cannot accept customer's guns and perform this work. That would require an FFL. What I will offer, when time permits, is a DIY kit with instructions.

glitch308 0 Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 Here's one more who's still interested... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
texlurch 0 Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 (edited) IF it is reliable, and IF it is in the mentioned price range, I would still be interested. I have a couple FBMG mags, but probably 50 assorted G3 and CETME mags. For my 16" Saiga/G3, it would be just the ticket. It would be nice to have some interchange between it, my G3 and my CETME's. Not to mention it wouldn't look half bad on the SaiG3... Edited July 5, 2007 by texlurch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jericho 0 Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 BattleRifleG3 - How many of these have you made, and how many rounds have gone through them. I'm willing to do the work for an adapter that will also "do the work". I'm not interested in something that has to be tuned after a few loads. I'm looking for an adapter that will stand up to normal to heavy usage. Will this unit function with some abuse? If so, I'm interested..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
texlurch 0 Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 Would really like to see this come about. Still waiting for the day you decide to make a run of these so I can get one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

texlurch 0 Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 I am actually thinking that I need to study my magwell in the G3 and CETME, and see if I can maybe weld something up. Never know! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Grimjaw 0 Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Is there any update on this. It does not take too many mags to make the price attactive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lbsrdi 1,078 Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 Love the idea. any update? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
N4KVE 14 Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 (edited) In my opinion, this is a dead issue. 4 years later & still nothing. Heavy modification to the gun that could cost hundreds. Not just a simple adapter like using AR mags in a HK93. When this project started there weren't many choices for aftermarket mags. Now there's 3 that I know of. Surefire, Promag, & Uinta. Now these mags cost more than a $1 G3 mag, but considering the expensive mods needed to be done to the gun, how many mags would you have to buy to break even? Obviously the mods to the gun are too involved to be cost effective, or safe because it hasn't come to market yet. If someone can come up with a pop in adapter where the gun stays stock, I'm game, but at this point I don't think it's gonna happen. Looks like a mag order is in the works.

Dander 0 Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Does anybody have a way to contact BattleRifleG3 anymore? He seems to have dropped off the map from every gun board he posted at. I hope for the best but fear the worst. At the very least, I'd like to see his plans for it so I can do it myself. Mag cost is the -ONLY- thing stopping me from selling off my Saiga 7.62x39 and buying a S308. Sorry to raise this thread from the dead again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jojo200517 68 Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 Holy necro thread batman. If I recall the G3 mag adapters and others required a good bit of material be removed from the gun to work. ON the bright side the CSSPECS mags are awesome and they have come down in price a itty bitty bit. They are still pricey but well worth it if you want high cap .308 saiga mags Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BattleRifleG3 16 Posted November 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Fear not the worst. My life is just completely consumed by the most important things. G3 mag adapters were practical when the AWB was in effect. Now, an aftermarket mag makes the most sense, especially since there are many choices. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
unclejake 428 Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 Ditto on the CSSPECS mags.. may cost more than a combloc x39, but one damn fine built mag for the 308 and functions as well as the origional Saiga mag!! Kudos and thanks!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Good to see you can still sneak a peek on occasion, leastwise. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
