Has anyone tried to use a Galil .223 12rd IMI Steel Magazine in their saiga .223? Any modifications necessary? Do they fight tightly?

I've got two (from CDNN ;>) that work great, but they did need some modifications. For more info, first click on the following link, and then look for the link under "4) Magazine modifications possibly required to use .223/5.56 steel Galil mags in your .223 Saiga:"

They lock in tight in my Saiga - but then, my Saiga is kind of unique. I left my front trigger guard tang 'long,' so my Orlites would lock in rock-solid. Which meant I actually had to file a little material off the steel Galil mags, so they would rotate up far enough to latch.
