gpqueen 545 Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 I spoke to Surefire today and with the holidays, shipping is taking longer than expected. I should start receiving them next week. They also said they ran 2000 rounds through with no problems. The mags are 13.5" long and actually hold 13rds. They are still selling it as a 12rd because with the bolt closed it is hard to get the mag in the gun loaded with 13. With the bolt open it slips in easily loaded with 13. They are still calling it a 12rd mag. They are in full production right now and we will start shipping the early pre-orders out next week and should be caught up on all orders to this point by the first week of Jan. Yes the mag is long at 13.5", but can be cut down easily if you prefer it shorter using the existing floor plate and cutting below another ridge. I will post a picture as soon as I am able to. Anybody that has ordered from me will receive an email when it is your turn for your order to ship. Thanks, Greg Quote Link to post Share on other sites

numbnuts 1 Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 (edited) Good news for all And how about the 10 rounders? Edited December 17, 2008 by numbnuts Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gpqueen 545 Posted December 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Good news for all And how about the 10 rounders? No date yet. I will take some time to fill all of the current orders from distributors on the 12rd mags. Greg Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gpqueen 545 Posted December 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Santa came a little early. I received 2 sample Surefire Saiga 12 mags today. I am really impressed with them. They are very solid and smooth feeding. I inserted them into 6 different Saiga 12's and they fit very tight in 5 of the six. No movement at all. The 6th was extremely tight and after taking it in and out a few times it fit perfect. They actually hold 13 rds. I had no problem inserting them with 13rds loaded on a closed bolt with my stock guns. Some people may have trouble inserting them fully loaded on a closed bolt and that is why they are still calling them a 12rd magazine. They are a little long, but can easily be cut down to 10, 8 or 5 rds if desired. Looks like it will be very easy to modify these to fit a magwell. Here is a picture next to a 10 rd AGP. I will shoot 200 rds through them tomorrow and give a report. Greg Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Prodge 0 Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 (edited) Greg, Just ordered a pair of them on your website! Looking forward to trying them out. So far I am very happy with my x39 Surefire mags, I'm sure these will have similar results! PS. How is it looking for a shipping date on this order I placed today?

topmaul 42 Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Greg, Can you load one of these new mags into your Saiga have the bolt locked back I'd like to see the feed angle, is it the same as OEM mags? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cobra 76 two 2,677 Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 I took some pics earlier. I'll post them here in a minute. Izzy 8rd (loaded with 8) Surefire 12 rd (with 12) John, the top round is aimed a little lower in the surefire, but as you know, the more shells you stack up the lower the front goes on the top shell. Here it is with 8. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
topmaul 42 Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 (edited) Thanks that's what I wanted to see, looks like they should feed fine, not too low or too high that first picture I have had jams where the end of the shell hits the front the guide up top and it sticks the shell. I have also had shells hit the bottom of the barrel and stop dead in their tracts. Looks like the feed angle is a bit lower on the Sure-Fire mags that's fine. I just wanted to see that before I decied to buy a few. Edited December 22, 2008 by topmaul Quote Link to post Share on other sites
