csspecs 1,987 Posted March 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 We've been planning on making a set of longer followers that will stop the mags at 20. I like the slack space for seating the mag but I understand the need for one that only holds 20. We will adjust the note on the page to say "if you require an exact 20 round mag email us" when we have them ready. The price went to 50 from 45 due in a large part to more smoothing work, and because the new run have more welds around 70-74 on the 20s. We have the kits to make the factory mag a ten while getting 2 US parts, in production now. Should be ready to ship early next week. They will be stamped "Made in USA" just like the new mags.

Rhodes1968 1,638 Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Did you guys ever get any 15 rd mags made up? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
csspecs 1,987 Posted April 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 I'm welding them together tomorrow actually, they got pushed back due to demand for the 20s being kinda high. We have been having delays from our suppliers as well, which has been slowing our production down a little. They will be ready fairly soon, at the same time we will have 5s and the exact 20 round mags that I've been promising for some time now. Sorry for the delay, I know its been like a month longer then I originally stated. They are being made now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

csspecs 1,987 Posted April 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Little update I have the bodies for the fives and fifteens done other then final clean up, we are still making a few little parts and I'm trying to get a few other prototypes finished to go for black oxide Wednesday. I'll likely have them back middle of next week. We have a new floor plate retainer design on the 5s and 15s. It is to prevent the follower from binding on the spring, it makes locking in a full mag smoother. One of the prototypes is a limiter that will go with our 10 round mags, it will limit them to 5 rounds for hunting use (for states with such laws). So you would be able to switch from 10 to 5 rounds and back again by swapping out one part. EDIT: Correct they will show up on the website when ready. They are ready to be black oxide finished right now, so its just how long they will take. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rhodes1968 1,638 Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 Thanks you still taking orders over the web site so I assume it will be updated also, just like to have a couple of these. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dunedain 44 Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Will you continue making the regular 20 round magazines (that can hold 22 rounds)? It's nice to have the option for the extra couple rounds, and like you said, it's also good to have some slack when seating a magazine with a 20 round load. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
csspecs 1,987 Posted April 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 I probably won't make any more of the 22s just because its annoying to keep all the different parts. But I have a pretty good stock of them right now. I have all the plans saved, so in the event it was something everyone wanted, it would not be a problem to make them again. The new ones will have plenty of slack, but instead of bottoming out on the floor plate they will stop at an exact spot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
csspecs 1,987 Posted April 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Thanks you still taking orders over the web site so I assume it will be updated also, just like to have a couple of these. fives and fifteens came back from the black oxide shop today. Website has been updated. Also have the correct 20s and 10/20s ready. I dropped the price down a little on the rebuild kits. Came up with a few ways to save money making and shipping them, so I'm reflecting the savings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Geezer 0 Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 I just ordered 2 of the 20's. Update us when you get the vepr mags ready. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dunedain 44 Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 Wondering how the springs are holding up after heavy use, I'm sure the tough steel magazine can take just about anything. Any plans for maybe a 25 rounder to match the surefire? Would be nice to have the extra ammo, and it wouldn't affect the size that much, and on certain training courses of fire it would mean not having to reload in the middle.

I have spare springs available, however in testing neither leaving loaded for a year, or cycling more then 2000 times caused a measurable amount of change. We may make a 25 or 30 round at some point, just not yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

t165 30 Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 I purchased a couple of the twenty round 308 magazines from you several weeks ago. I like the magazines so much better than the 25 round Surefires I had I went ahead and sold the Surefires on Gunbroker.com. I had planned to buy some more magazines from you but I remember hearing mention that you are coming out with a stamped version for the Saiga 308. Could you advise of a time line when the stamped 308 magazines will be available for purchase? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
csspecs 1,987 Posted August 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Stamped will be about 60-90 days out. I have a non-firearm project that is taking 40+ days of shop time. We are gearing everything around making stamped only in the future. So hopefully everyone likes them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Possible to post photos of both side by side? GARY N4KVE Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dunedain 44 Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 I'm also wondering how that will affect the appearance. Comparison pictures would be cool. Also, are there any functional or other advantages to going stamped on the metal? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TxAgSaiga1979 16 Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 I have to say I love mine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
esminbritt 16 Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 I have 1 of your 20 rounders. I had no idea when got them 4 months ago, that you were so new to this game. Kuddos. I love my mag and I just got the great news the 2 I backordered have shipped. I'm psyched! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
