HMCIDC 0 Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 I picked up a 10 round mag on gunbroker.com from bddill78. The price was high ($150) but as hard as they are to come by I paid it. The problem I am having is that I have to fiddle around with it for 5 minutes to get it to lock into place. I took the gun to the range yesterday and was only able to get the 10 rounder to lock-in once and after screwing around with it for 10 minutes or so I finally gave up, tossed it in the bag and just used the 4 rounders (which don't have a problem at all). Has anyone else experienced these issues with the 10 rounders and if so, any ideas how I can fix it? Thanks in advance! Doc Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's exactly what's happening. It just won't latch in. I was planning to hit it with a file but I am a little concerned that will make it unsafe. I will just file a little at a time and keep trying it till it catches regularly and see how it goes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cobra 76 two 2,677 Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 It is common to have to do a little filing on a Saiga mag sometimes. They actually say that in the paperwork on imported mags. Just a little at a time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
