hit up ioinc.us they have the 47 round variants for about ~15 and the 30 for 8.99.. unless they screwed up their add in shotgun news..

 

 

Are these Promags the same as the Master Molder?

No.

 

I believe the molder mags are made from a different material.

Will they work like the Master Molder, meaning that you don't need a bullet guide as long as you modify the mag catch?

Just got back from the country visit this weekend and putting some rounds down range for the first time with my new saiga. Needless to say, every round fired without a problem. The skeleton stock had a nice feel to it, and the master molder mags worked (as expected they would) like a champ!! Fixing to stock up on 3 or 4 more!!

Question about the Molder Mags:

 

Do they meet the 922r standards? Or are the factory Saiga mags already made in Russia w/ the rest of the gun?

 

I'm kind of a newbie to rifles and the ATF standards. Thanks!

 

the Moulder Mags count as 3 parts to your 922r. its the floor plate, follower and the body...each count as one part. I'm not sure about the Saiga mags...i don't believe they are 922 compliant. its only compliant if it is a US part...its usually stamped or marked in some way to let you know its made in the US.

So you are implying that the Moulder Mags are made in the USA?

Ok I just got a bunch of new Master Molder mags (10 :-) and I'm having a problem that I can't seem to correct. I was testing them in a 20" 7.62x39 with a flat trunnion and no bullet guide.

 

They seemed to work fine when I cycle the rounds by hand but when I had the mags out on the range to test them out I put 3rnds in each test mag, and what I found was about 80% of the time I would fire the first round and then it would eject the spent casing plus a unused round resulting in no round in the chamber+one round left in the magazine.

 

I lowered the front lip on one of the mags to try to match it to the height of the factory mag and kept getting the same result, and continually lowered the front lip until it was noticeably less high than the factory mags, same symptom no change throughout.

 

So at this point I started to get frustrated and thought maybe these mags are just fckd, so I pulled out my converted 16" (round trunnion w/dinzag's bullet guide) and them fired a series of 3rnds per mags in the mag with the lowered lip and the mags without, zero problems every round fed and fired.

 

I modified the catches on each mag to fit tightly into the weapon not the weapon to fit the mags.

 

Has anyone had these same kind of issues? Or have any idea how to resolve them? Only thing I can think of is install a bullet guide and see if that helps...
