njensen1 0 Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 Hello, I recently was in an E-bay bidding war for ... Steel...10Rnd Magazines... That fit a Saiga .223 Not Converted..... No conversions on the Gun Itself. The Mags are garunteed to fit... I like the Idea of Steel Magazines for My Saiga... and i Would love to get a hold of some..... I want to know if they sell these types RETAIL anywhere...????? Any Help would be wonderfull Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Doerdie 0 Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 They may fit, but will they work, and for how long? I have seen posts of people attepting to make AK mags work, but they all broke after 50-100 rounds. No one is making them for retail sale that I have heard or seen. EAA said they were going to get some, but thats highly unlikely with the current situation. How much did the mag sell for, and do you have an EBAY Item #? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IndyArms 10,186 Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 I saw that myself.... Looks like the cheap/basic 10 round AK mags, to me... They probably did a 30 second dremel work to it, to get it to cycle in a gun, and said good enough... like Ebay posts blisteringly obvious...CAVEAT EMPTOR! I would be leery of those magazines myself... they MIGHT work, but chances are you will need to mess with them some more.. and perhaps install a feedramp to get them to work *RIGHT* all the time.... Just my 2 cents... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
9026543 0 Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 I bought one of those off eBay and mine works just fine. It has a metal feed ramp installed on the mag itself. I ran 100 rounds through it at the range last week without one failure. Just my 2 cents. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just my 2 cents... Hey! I'd like to add my two cents and see if anyone ouyt there has an answer or a suggestion....From all I have read on the forum, I thought it was possible to convert/mod an AK74 5.56 mag to fit the Saiga .223 WITHOUT messing with a bullet ramp or drilling the metal of the gun. I have gotten the Bulgy circle 21 mags and have dremeled them so they lock up, but after days and days, I cannot get the bullet tips to feed high enough to made the chamber opening. Now I have lotsa squashed .223 bullets..... ANYONE---is it possible to make these da-n mags work without a bullet ramp and without changing out the follower??? Am I scrod (skruuued?). Appreciate DETAILS as I'm firearm challenged at this early point. Thankee muchly folks....DOC Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hoser4963 1 Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 (edited) Hey, I was wondering if the 5.45x39 mags would hold .223 shells. Do they? I will install a feed ramp in my .223 Saiga if the 5.45 mags will work. Those things are going for $5. Can't beat it. Thanks Never mind. I found the instructions to modify them so they will work.
