What is a magwell dimple, why do people want them and what do they look like? louielouie it's a rectangular indent about .75x1.5" on each side of where the magazine inserts into the receiver. newer saiga 7.62x39's have them, older ones do not. it just means your gun is closer to the military AK if you have them. it may also work a little better with military style mags (after you get a bullet guide of course) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well, I know now for sure that my 7.62 is an older one, but I got it for $100 less and it was NEW, so I think I am okay that it doesn't have dimples. Since I don't have dimples on the receiver will I not need to install a bullet guide if I want to shoot AK mags or ? louielouie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scoutjoe 276 Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Louie, you'll still need the bullet guide as long as it is a stock saiga. the dimples are asthetic, like say a boob job on a playmate Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KySoldier 2 Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Some of those ordering Saigas from Gilberts Guns were requesting dimpled receivers so they went through their inventory and marked which ones had them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
