GGUN 0 Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 I am seeing a lot of these 'new' at gun shows. Are they any good? Is there anything I should look for as far as them being good or bad? They appear to be going for about $55.00 each; and I think they are 20 rounders. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't tried them myself, but why pay $55 for plastic when you can pay $45 for steel? http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?showtopic=36718 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rd99fxdl 17 Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 I use the Surefires in my .308 without any problems. The only thing to really watch for in the higher caps on them is you need to use pointed bullets,then they're good to go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
XXasdf 29 Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 (edited) I got a few surefire mags a while ago to add to my us parts count. At first I mistakenly thought the misfeeds and jams I was experiencing was due to these mags but it turned out to be the terrible ammo I was using at the time. They aren't bad, I'm not a big fan of the LRBHO tho. I would recommend the steel mags over the polymers. Edited May 16, 2009 by XXasdf Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have 4 15-rdrs and 2 10-rdrs - from NJ - and never had any issues with any of them, in fact they r quite dependable and solid. They got lifetime warranty. For better prices look around on the net and at business members of this forum, although with shipping it would never be below $50. But, to be honest, I bought these a year before ccsspecs developed steel mags. Now, I will only buy his. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

vintagedude88 16 Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 I've got the Sureifires. They're the only thing available to me other than the factory mags. I found that they're not all plug and play. For them to work right in my .308, I had to cut down the left side feed lip about .100" at 5/8" - 3/4" from the back. I did this with a hobby knife. Takes a few minutes if you have a sharp blade. Takes a lot if you have quite a few mags like me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
