dodgeturbointerceptor 1 Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 (edited) Hello everybody, I just bought my very first Saiga and I was wondering where is the best place to get 30rd cartridges? you looking for magazines? Are You looking for stock Saiga 30 rounders for an un-converted Saiga? Or metal 30 round mags? These You need a bullet guide to direct the projectile of each round in the non-stock mag into the chamber. Sorry If You didn't understand what I meant. Anyways. You can occasionaly get stock Izhmash factory Saiga mags from Oleg. He works at www.Rusmilitary.com Here is what the rare saiga mags look like. As You see here...I have "a couple"....hee hee So. Only 2 paths here. 1.) Convert and use a bullet guide(use search button with that term bullet guide for info). Which lets You use many different affordable 30rd mags 2.) Use Saiga 5rd, 10rd, and the 30rd rare ones if You find em. Edited January 23, 2008 by dodgeturbointerceptor Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BullShark012 1 Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Xplicit - There IS ONE More Path....to using 30 rd. mags - this one doesn't require the 'conversion' Turbo was talking about: http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?showtopic=22054 scroll down to about post #5 on that page. (shows how to legally use 30 rd. mags (U.S. mags - 3 parts count) And, If you don't have the bucks for the ACE Folder just yet - then all you'll need is 1 (one) more part to be changed out to a U.S. one (Like a US Foregrip, or US Buttstock, or (US Gas Piston - alittle harder). But to be legal w/ 30 rd mags, you'll need to get to only 10 'Foriegn Countable Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cellsworth 21 Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 (edited) Saigastock.com now has a modified Tapco collapsible stock/pistol grip combination unit that they claim will fit an unmodified Saiga. The cost is about $90. I prefer the ACE folder myself, but the modified Tapco provides another, less expensive, option. Of course, you still have to be careful to swap out another 3 foreign parts for US parts, as BullShark has outlined. I'm not a big fan of using magazine components to achieve compliance, but it is a good option for some people. For one thing, it is incredibly fast and easy. Also, while most conversions work out fine, some don't. Therefore, some people may feel more comfortable retaining the factory internals. I have both converted and unconverted Saigas, and I see merits in both. Edited January 24, 2008 by hogdog Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ironhead7544 35 Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 How many of the rare 30 stock Saiga magazines were imported? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dodgeturbointerceptor 1 Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 How many of the rare 30 stock Saiga magazines were imported? 3 months worth only from EAA. Dec 2004-Feb 2005. Stopped quick. Which also were farmed out to CDNN for 1 week, and stanleys for a month. Maybe a few others. But I was all over em....lol Everybody claimed to have em. Turned out to be surefires, or other. Big Bear never did. B-west never did. K-USA never did. RAA hasn't yet......umm...hello guys....( sporting weapon my ass) lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ghostface1 0 Posted January 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 WOW I looked at Saigastock website and really liked the Tapco collapsible stock. Are those good stocks? I am looking for a PG so I am looking for different stocks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jgillaspy 24 Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 I have the T6 and the SAW grip from Tapco on my converted x39 and I really like them. With the setup at SaigaStock.com you will need the "adjustability" to get a decent LOP. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ghostface1 0 Posted January 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 what do u mean by "adjustability?" I am looking for the AR type PG stock. http://www.saigastock.com/index.php?main_p...products_id=176 is this simply a bolt on or am I going to have to convert anything?
