longhunter-CO 0 Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 I looking at the various Saiga model out there. Do none of the .223 receivers have mag well dimples on their sides? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Vick 0 Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 I used the grey neading epoxy. I put a small lump inside the receiver where the dimples would normally be. I then trial fitted, and sanded until my mags fit snug, but easy. I realize that this sounds REALLY half a$$ed, but this was my fix. It has held so far after 600-700 rounds. If you're using the ak-74 mags, the amount you grind the front of the mag also effects the mag wobble. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

squirrely 0 Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 Someone just the other day posted they got a .223 with dimples--that's something new. I just picked it up off gunboards. It's marked .223 (factory), but there's also milling swirls under which it can faintly be made out "7.62x39". -Squirrely Quote Link to post Share on other sites
steve467 0 Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 (edited) Someone just the other day posted they got a .223 with dimples--that's something new. Drool....if I find one it's going to become an AK105 clone. I'd be curious to know what the magwell dimensions are on one of these "reborn" receivers.

Mine's well on its' way to becoming an ak101 clone. Now if only that reamer would arrive in the mail... -Squirrely Quote Link to post Share on other sites
