avnate 335 Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 MSA will not be developing the Saiga .308 mag adapter After months of agonizing pain....... we have "turned every rock" to get the absolute best design possible. In this quest we realized for this to be 100% perfect we had to reinvent the wheel. So after many product meetings and late night design parties we have called it quits on a "Mag Adapter" for the Saiga.308. I know, I know you are all wanting to scream and hurt someone (namely me). In short, Deal With IT! For those of you still with me.............. we went a entirely different direction that is going to change a lot of the the way you look at adapters. While this concept is still in testing, we won't divulge any information about it until final production costs are calculated and testing is concluded. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dmckean44 1 Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Blows.............. Eh. The last posts I read on this subject said the mag adapter was going to require modification to both the rifle and the magazine. That pretty much made me completely uninterested anyway. We have new production metal mags coming soon plus FBMG mags going back into production. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nathan - like I said on the other thread - you are dealing with a lot of pent up emotions here. We 308 folks are feeling like 2nd class citizens y'know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
avnate 335 Posted April 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Ok.... Let me put it this way, if everything keeps going like it is you all will have the cheapest alternative to mag versatility with no modifications to the rifle. Let me highlite the key points again..... Cheapest alternative and no modifications. If that is not something to get happy about I don't know what is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
acercanto 6 Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 I'm very intrigued! This sounds like it could be the big break the S-308 has been waiting for. What AGP did for the S-12. Acer Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JulianH 4 Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Intriguing... hopefully you will be able to divulge what mags we should be stocking up on soon. From your description, it sounds like it will take G3/CETME mags, which would be awesome! Thanks for all your hard work in making this happen. This is the only thing prevent many people from buying a S308 in the first place. Hell, RAA should be paying you for doing this Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ArcFault 4 Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 No mods to the rifle... Hmmmmm, if I'm not mistaken that rules out HK, FAL, DPMS and M14, assuming of course that the mags aren't modded as well... sounds to me like our man has a trick or two up his sleeve. This is worth waiting for IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Believe me, I know how you feel, I too wanted to see a safe and functional adapter. All the time and development put into this so far yielded nothing I was comfortable taking to production. What I like about the current project is the ability to cross over into other rifle platforms is not limited. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
csspecs 1,987 Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 hmmm.... Other rifles? So are you just making an adapter for a current magazine or a line of adapters that takes some sort of modular magazine? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

308SAIGA 55 Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 What adapter are you guys talking about? Is it one that you attach to the Saiga to be able to use AR (223) Mags? If so sounds like a good idea especially since you can get 223 30 round mags for $15 each... Yeah we 308 guys have to pay out the arse for parts......... GL Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pointer55 1 Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Their 223 adapter does not work with the $15 AR mags. It seems it only works with the plastic AR mags (pmags,ect), which kinda defeats the purpose, IMHO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

308SAIGA 55 Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 This is a interesting concept but what I do not understand is what mag would you be using? I mean the only high-cap mag or mag period available is the surefire mag but you do not need an adapter for it, no other mags work with the Saiga 308 rifle... Was this to convert a G3 or FAL mag to use in a Saiga 308? Thanks GL Quote Link to post Share on other sites
avnate 335 Posted April 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 I know there are a ton of questions an as soon as the paperwork is signed of on the pattend I will proably then let the cat out of the bag. Until then our lips are sealed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
