Great site! Quick Q please on Saiga to standard AK Mag


Recommended Posts

Hello all,

 

Im considering a Saiga 7.62 to standard AK type rifle. One concern is standardizing mags.

 

Can Saiga mags (whether factory or aftermarket) be converted to fit a standard AK type rifle?

 

If they are - Id convert the Saiga to take normal AK mags.... also convert the Saiga mag to Ak .... being able to share AK mags in both rifles.

 

Thanks! !

You can convert the gun to accept normal AK magazines by filing down the mag catch a little and installing a bullet guide. As far as using a saiga mag in an AK goes, you're gonna have to file off the ramp on the front of the magazine that acts like a bullet guide. The thing is, the saiga mag is gonna fit a little loose in the ak. It will work though. You've just got to be careful about violating 922R by sticking that foreign made saiga mag in a rifle.

But...I thought 'regular' AK mags were foreign made too?

You'd have to convert enough other parts to get it 922r compliant.
