hartzpad 0 Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 (edited) http://www.eaacorp.com/parts/Magazines/smag.shtmlbut for $45/each, I'm not going to buy a .308 now. RAPE!!!!! Edited October 12, 2004 by hartzpad Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TEXASAK73 13 Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 and they have .223 and 7.62 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RooK 0 Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 $45? HAHAHA!!! Comparing to 8rnd price, thats probably $10 more than actual retail, but I still ain't paying over $20 for a normal capacity mags. They can sit on them until they the plastic becomes brittle and they fall apart. Considering the price of 8 mags, I'd be willing to let any decent gunsmith cut my trunion for a M14, FAL or G3 mag conversion. Screw you EAA. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dman 0 Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 Well I guess I will just have to think of all of you while I continue on to rounds 9,10,11 ect. ( I already feel a puffy shoulder coming on ! ). Besides I feel that I saved enough on the gun that I would have to spend a considerable amount on it to be in a cost to value upsidedown scenario. $70 for two mags I can live with!

KySoldier 2 Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 Well, I'm excited, I wasn't going to buy a 16in 308 until they started carrying the mags, I guess I'll be getting the Saiga 308 this week! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joltash 0 Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 I'd love to buy a pair, but big brother says I'm not allowed. I HATE MASSACHUSETTS! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jtoddellis 2 Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 I ordered one this morning. I know there way to high, but I had to do it. The only problem is now I may have to talk myself into converting to pistol grip. I bet that will get some funny looks when I go deer hunting with my buddies. It's a shame I cant use that 20 round clip for deer hunting just to see how people react. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
screaming eagle 0 Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 Move to Texas, no limits on mag capicity! AK 47s w/30 rounders, FALs w/ 20 rounders!.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gandalf 0 Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 So do you have to have your US compliance parts to be able to use these? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jtoddellis 2 Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 I'm sure someone will correct me if I am wrong, but if you do no mods to the gun, I believe the 20 round mag is leagle because you only have one "evil" feature which is the detachable mag. When you ad a pistol grip you have 2 "evil" features which means you have to comply with the parts count. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joltash 0 Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 (edited) I don't think you have to do an mods because you're trading one foreign part for the same foreirn part. But don't take my word for it. This is just my opinion. Edited October 13, 2004 by joltash Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jtoddellis 2 Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 I went to the ATF sight to see if I could back up my statement, but found no clear answer. I guess it depends on their interpretation of the law. You still canot manufacture a non-sporting firearm from imported parts. If adding a 20 round mag to a stock .308 is considered manufacturing a non-sporting firearm from foreign parts I guess you will have to put in the U.S. parts. Maybe someone else can clear this up or give a link to a thread where this has already been discussed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KySoldier 2 Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 I don't think it's an "evil feature" issue anymore...unless you are talking about your state's law like in NY. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RooK 0 Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 922r import laws is what you have to look at. They don't follow the 'evil feature' simplicity that the AWB did, instead they rely on 'points.' For each feature they designate, you gain points if it's sporting. If you total a certain amount, it's importable. Since the Saiga is imported with a standard stock, it has enough 'points' left over to let it use hicaps without changing out US parts. Now, if you place a foreign or US made thumbhole stock on the weapon (like F4Ds) and you use hicaps, it's unimportable (illegal). This is why WASRs are imported with 10rnd single stack mags and a thumbhole stock. Otherwise they could use hicaps as well. I have no idea where this sporting feature list is, though I've seen it at one time. You guys might want to look it up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jtoddellis 2 Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 I tried to find the 922r law on the ATF sight but had no success. Does any one know where to find it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CFII 0 Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 They are on a 30 day or so backorder. I hate that. I hate backorders. I wish they would say that on thier website.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
screaming eagle 0 Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 hi caps were always a seperate issue from the "ugly gun" restrictions. The law only listed "detatchable mag" as 1 feature. Capicity is/was mostly a state's law issue. When l bought my AKs & FAL they all came with at least one hi cap each. , Tex hunting regs place no restrictions on mag capacity except migritory birds & that's federal.

BattleRifleG3 16 Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 Wait and see how long that 30 day back order stretches into. Remember the VEPR Pioneer and Hunter? Remember how they promise the Saiga 100 every few months? Until you see actual people getting hi-caps from EAA, save your money for my G3 mag conversions (I hope to release a couple this winter). In fact with the price of G3 mags compared to Saigas, Might want to do that anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jtoddellis 2 Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 Move to Texas, no limits on mag capicity! AK 47s w/30 rounders, FALs w/ 20 rounders!....

screaming eagle 0 Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 "I found out there is no limit here in mississippi on capacity for deer hunting" That's why the south is gonna rise again! Northern gun grabbing liberals keep passing all their damned disarmament laws & fanning the flames in the culture war. Hmmmm How will they fight a war w/o guns?

The Boss 0 Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 What do you mean they don't exist? that they are not in the U.S. or that the are still on the drawing board? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TWGLADF 0 Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 i heard that they haven't even made the equipment to fabricate the mags yet. no earlier than mid 2005 before they start production of the mags. my 8 rounders will hold me over til then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Doerdie 0 Posted December 18, 2004 Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 They have been made for quite a while. Don't forget, Saigas are not only sold in the USA. 7.62 30rds were here a week after the sunset. Its all in the shipping, slow boats and our Customs service. Unlimited capacity for hunting?, I can't even hunt with a semi in PA, even with a 1 round clip! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BattleRifleG3 16 Posted December 18, 2004 Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 The X39 hi-cap mags were already made, but not the 308 ones. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I would still like to know if anyone has a pic or a link other then EAA. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BattleRifleG3 16 Posted December 18, 2004 Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 Last Iknew even EAA didn't have a pic. They have pics of the mythical Saiga 100s, but not the 308 hi-caps. I really don't believe they exist yet, unlike the Saiga 100s, which just aren't here yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
