Saiga & Mag Questions

[Marlin94ss 0]

I'm taking a hard look at the Saiga 308. First, what is the difference between the Saiga 100 series and the other Saiga 308's. What about 5 round magazines - are these available (I live in Maine and you can't use > than 5 rounds for hunting with a semi-auto).

 

I see 8 rounders and I see that there are 20 rounders available, but I can't find 5 round magazines. However, if one looks up the Saiga 100 series, they supposedly come with two three round magazines. What gives?

The mags for the 100 series are not interchangeable with the regular .308 mags and as far as I know there is only one size of mag for the 100's.

To the best of my knowledge, there is no 5 rd mag for a saiga 308. You would likely have to "block" the 8 rd mag to make it legal (if you can do this in maine).

 

The Saiga 100 uses a different receiver shape, different stock and handgaurds, and is not easy to convert to the AK look that we all love.

What would be the best way to block an 8 round magazine to reduce it to five? I suppose yu could put a piece of wood or even styrofoam in it.

Have heard of wooden block, wood dowels, or an inverted wire "U" inserted.

wooden block would be the easiest and stay put

drill two holes in the wood for the floor plate posts, and it would stay put for sure.
