Squidly 0 Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 Hey gang, Like I mentioned above, I'm getting a little tired of getting stock mags only to find out after the fact that a mag will fit one S12 and not the other; especially when the mag is sealed new in a package that was sent from afar. It's not like I can just roll down to any gun shop, gun show, or sporting goods store to try the mags out like an AK owner could (mags are plentiful for them). I just spent more than I probably should have for a 2 round mag recently, only to find out that the damn thing would not sit in the S12 that I bought it for (it did fit in the 24" BBL, and not the 19" like I wanted). This has also happened to me before with 5 rounders as well. I even posted on a certain problem I had with a 5 rnd mag awhile ago. Now I know from reading here in the forum and from my own experience owning five of these otherwise fine weapons that Russian quality control is somewhat different than Western standards, but dammit, I hate having to mess with modifying mags (successfully or not) seemingly all of the time!!!!! OK, I feel better now....... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BobAsh 582 Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 It's all too true. I've seen hundreds of em pass thru, and they all work a little different. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kmoore 3 Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 Most mags I've had have fit several Saiga 12's, but I did have one or two that I needed to file a bit to make seat fully. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
