txn 0 Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 I sent this letter to EAA on Sunday: Hello, With the sunset of the Assault Weapons Ban, will you be importing high-capacity magazines for the Saiga .308? If so, can you please tell me when, how many rounds they will hold, and how much they will be? Thanks. And their response was: on order with russia I can't wait!

Vrotate 0 Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 They added them to their catalog on October 11th. I ordered a 2 pack for $70 today... but another forum post said they are all on backorder. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BattleRifleG3 16 Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 I'm betting 2005 at the absolute earliest. Hats off to them if I'm wrong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jtoddellis 2 Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 I sent them an e-mail before the ban ended and they said they would have them mid-2005. I went ahead and ordered one when I saw them on their web sight and of course they are back ordered. I'm sure when they actually get them they will become available at a few other places, hopefully at a little cheaper price. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BattleRifleG3 16 Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 What'd I tell ya... Realistically, 2005 would be good considering their track record. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vrotate 0 Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 They sent me an email today: Your order has been placed on a b/o, I do not have an eta at this time , But I hope to see them in 30 days or so. If you would like to cancel please call 1-800-536-4442 x 226 Thank you Sharon Bell CS Manager Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BattleRifleG3 16 Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 Please post, anyone who is not on Back Order. I'll bet the mags aren'e even in the country. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vrotate 0 Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 Yeah......... I like the "OR SO" part. I ordered 2 G-3 mags just to play with. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RichardW 0 Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 Are you going to modify the rifle at all or just the mags? I started a mag project but wasn't sure if the G3 mag springs would hang up on the front of the now narrowed front of the mag. Also, how to narrow the front of the mag follower, weld it back up, and not wind up with a piece of twisted metal. I got the mag itself to fit the opening though, and lock in.

screaming eagle 0 Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 Tapco often has FAL mag springs perhaps these can be used as subs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
