PvtPyle 0 Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 But what about the 8rd mags? If say someone were to get line drawings for those from the Russians and put them into a cad drawing to make here in the US, would anyone have a hissy fit about those? They would not be exactly the same, they would have a different set of ribs running down the side, not unlike the 20rd 308 mags..... Anyway, does anyone see a problem there? Does anyone see a market for them in the $50 price range? Dont waste your time and ours with an "I'll take XX number!" post, just a simple comment on the market will do.

I prepaid on S-308 20 rounders and the S-12 10 rounders. I'd be just as happy to do the same on S-12 8 rounders if the 10 rounders aren't going to happen. Whatever it takes.

KySoldier 2 Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 I imagine that most would agree with me that whoever gets out the high caps first in sufficient quantity will sell a bunch, whether 10 or 8 rounds. People are just tired of payig $100+ for overseas mags. US made mags would be so much better anyway with faster shipping, lower price, and parts for 922r compliance.

kmoore 3 Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 I'll take 20 of these .... J/K If I understand your question, it is ... Given a supply of 10 round mags, would folks be interested in 8 round mags for a few dollars yes. I'm answering you as one who uses mine in competitions. I'm already set with a number of factory 8's, and have numerous 10 round mags on order. I would buy a couple because I believe in supporting your type of efforts, but likely only 1 or 2. Factors that would make me buy more .... 10 rounders are finicky (doubt it), 10 rounders are too bulky (doubt it, and I have factory 8's even if they occasionally are). What would NOT be a factor is fear of being classified as a destructive device. If someone was to start competing and your mags are available, I could imagine that they could sell better. Also, I think you'll take a chunk of business from the factory 8 sellors (some will always want factory). In fact one poster said factory 8's are getting harder to find in Russia as they go to the new style mags. If Factory 8's dry up, that will elevate business. I'm guessing that there is a huge chunk of owners that don't have 8's due to cost, or hassle, or ??? You'd be able to tap that market too. Moore than you wanted, simple answer is in the 5th paragraph Main problem will be competing with 10 round mags, IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bayoupiper 738 Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 I would take either 10 or 8 round mags. Especially if US produced as I cannot bring myself to pay $100+ for a factory 8 rnd. I have said before, this S 12 is no good to me if I can't get decently priced magazines.

headshot 52 Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 (edited) I would buy them over the ten rounders. I really don't like all that weight in the mag anyway. I would be especially interested if they were made from the factory spec drawing. Edited October 18, 2006 by headshot Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This may be jumping the gun and sorry if it is, but would there be a pre order discout like the .308 mag IF this goes foreward? Doug Quote Link to post Share on other sites
762minigun 1 Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Quit talking and get on it. All this talk is just killing me. Someone make one already I will buy atleast 10. I would prefer an eight round mag as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Berszerk 0 Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 The price sounds great, and yes 8 will do fine, I would buy several. That said, make it so James. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
S-12inWV 1 Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 I'd love to see some domestic 8rd mags on the Market.... The 10s would be nice, but I thinking they may end up extending too long and be a little cumbersome. I have several of the Russian 8rds as it is and am perfectly happy with them. How about making the 8rds and then a 2 rd extension for the people that will piss and moan... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jrance@iacwds.com 716 Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 In the $50 neighborhood you should sell a butt-load of them. Last four Ebay 8 rounders went for $150+. Somebody had the bright idea to list one for $189.00 plus shipping and insurance. 8 or 10 round is irrelevant to me as either works for my needs. Hope that answers your question.

topmaul 42 Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 I am going to buy factory 8s if and when I can find some regardless of price Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sousa 0 Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 I would definitely be in for 8 rounders. I have 3 five rounders and would much rather have 8 rounders. Make it happen for the price quoted and you should sell quite a few. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

v188 5 Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 In 8 round mags, I would buy at least 5. I'm also interested in picking up 2-4 10 round mags. Make them, and they WILL sell at your listed price. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

neubert500 11 Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 My preference would be for 8 rounders that are affordable as you prepose. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
topmaul 42 Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Pvt Pyle, Yes I would buy magazines from you, 8+1 are fine with me, Like I posted above right now I'm going to buy some mags as soon as I can find some. Like KMoore and some of the others here I use them in competition, unlike most of the other competitors I share them with my son, so I really need to break down and get some more mags as soon as I can. I figure we need at least 3 more 8 rd mags. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zundfolge 0 Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 (edited) Anything is better than the single 5 rounder I have (and not having to pay $100+ would be a big bonus). Edited October 18, 2006 by Zundfolge Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ctown 0 Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 8 round mags are fine with me, and at half the price($50....). I would buy some if the quality is sufficient. Later. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Crow 2 Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 I personally would rather have 8 rounders than 10. I'm actually not even interested in the 10 rounders, too bulky for my non-competition application. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
buckmeister 11 Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 I would purchase a quantity if you made them. US made eight round magazines would be welcomed. buckmeister Quote Link to post Share on other sites
screaming eagle 0 Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Would definately be up for a few. Truly appreciate the efforts of those making US normal capacity mags. (these wpns weren't intended to be fed starvation level rations) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
epsylum 0 Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 I would buy some to go with my five and 10 round mags. I like to have verstility. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

uzitiger 193 Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 (edited) I would prefer the eight rounders to ten rounders because of the monopod effect when you have a longer magazine. Look at the 50 round magazines on the Galil rifles for example. I also prefer American made magazines over the Russian ones. Let's keep the firearm related jobs here in the US.

surfmaster 5 Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 The 10 rounders are preferred by USPSA three-gun shotgun competitors because the Saiga 12 automatically puts you into open class because it's a magazine-fed shotgun. Many shotgunners have extended magazine tubes that make their Remingtons and Benelli's hold 10 in the mag tube and one in the pipe for a maximum of 11 rounds in open class. In competition, having one or two extra rounds may mean the difference between winning or losing. If this wasn't the case, I would gladly just get the eight-rounders. It's not just about getting 10 rounders because I want 10 rounders. It's about the ability to load 10 plus 1 in USPSA competition. Can't wait to see 'em. Yahoo!

kahrak 2 Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 I'd definitely want some 8 rounders. I preordered some 10 rounders but I'd buy some 8's as well since they're a little less bulky and you can never have too many mags. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
