I looked every where on the net and every site I came across were sold out!! Can some one help me out or does anyone have any they are willing to part with at a reasonable price. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
22_Shooter 1,560 Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Bad timing. You just missed a smoking deal in the WTS section here, for factory 8 rounders. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gkcf 8 Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 (edited) reasonable price Last time I saw them on sale they were $150 per. Now, I know they're the best of the best and hard to find and especially to import but... thats a lot of money for an 8 round mag. I suppose if I had a bit more in the bank I could find it a bit more reasonable. Edited August 10, 2009 by gkcf Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oldandslow 3 Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Put your order in at rusmilitary.com. They will arrive within 6 months. It is interesting to me that the Russians haven't figured out how to take advantage of this. Instead they dribble a few magazines to rusmilitary in UK. Or, I don't know what I'm talking about and rusmilitary smuggles the magazines into UK. It took me a couple of years to acquire the ones I have. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I looked every where on the net and every site I came across were sold out!! Can some one help me out or does anyone have any they are willing to part with at a reasonable price. Thanks It depends on what amount you consider reasonable. Here in the U.S. the current going rate for an Izhmash factory 8 rounder is in the $120-$150 range. The only place where I have seen them less expesnive is at One Source Tactical, who when they have them in stock ( http://www.onesourcetactical.com/index.asp...amp;ProdID=1677 ) have Izhmash factory 8 rounders cheaper (three for $300) than anywhere else I have seen in years. Problem is they sell out so quickly anytime they get any of these mags in that they almost never have any in stock. I think they have a waitlist you can get on though. Other than them and Rusmilitary the only other thing is to periodically check the auction sights or the for sale sections on web forums that deal in AK or Saiga parts and accessories.

Seeing how they operate I think we'd all be better off in grave danger. Anyway...don't wait for me guys. I'd love to say they are coming, but I am out several hundred $$$ and have no idea where the magazines are now. Sadly, I don't think OST will be able to fill those orders any time soon. The folks who ordered have not had their cards charged. If you can find 'em elsewhere, do so. In the meatime, the ONLY magazine I think is worth having other than the Izhmash 8 rounder is the Izhmash 5 rounder. that sucks for Gabe. Also sucks for those on that list. I tried emailing rusmilitary.com a few months ago about placing an order but never heard anything back. Anyone actually get an order for these mags fulfilled by them?

Nuts, so it looks like Rusmilitary is once again the only semi-regular source for the Izhmash 8 rounders. I tried emailing rusmilitary.com a few months ago about placing an order but never heard anything back. Anyone actually get an order for these mags fulfilled by them? Rusmilitary is very reliable. I have ordered multiple times from them in the past, and as long as it was something they had in stock my order was always delivered within a month or less. My last order with them from earlier this year was held up in customs for a couple of weeks, but of course customs delays are not something Rusmilitary or any other shipper has any control of. Rusmilitary had 8 rounders in stock a few weeks ago, but they are out again. If you want to order something from Rusmilitary that is currently listed as being out of stock on their website, there are two ways to go about it. The first is you just place an order like normal through their website for the out of stock item, and they will then ship it whenever they have that item back in stock. These days they seem to get the Saiga 12 Izhmash factory 8 rounders back in stock at least every 4 months or so. Alternatively you can just keep checking their website periodically and order the items once it is listed as being back in stock. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

aresv 49 Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 What about customs? It's for personal consumption, so send them through the mail and keep it under $200 to avoid duty. No extra paperwork required. https://help.cbp.gov/cgi-bin/customs.cfg/ph...amp;p_topview=1 If importing for commercial purposes, however, you'd need to have a 4587 on file with the ATF, plus a form 6 for each shipment.

So no more than 1 mag per order, multiple mag orders would start to add up in shipping I suppose but at the lower per mag cost it evens out in the end to just under $150.00. Gun City sounds interesting also, I would suppose the same import rules apply ? Edited August 13, 2009 by gmorgan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't ordered from Gun City before, but I am sure they know how to handle shipping (including dealing with customs requirements) to the U.S. just like Rusmilitary does, and if you ordered multiple mags I don't see why they would need to ship the mags individually. I would just contact Gun City and ask them how they handle shipping quantities greater than one. Edited August 13, 2009 by Frogfoot Quote Link to post Share on other sites
raidersfan_5544 57 Posted August 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Well I must have bad luck or the worst timing ever. Just got an email back from Gun City and they told me that they are all sold out of their russian hi cap mags. I'm always too late. The search continues!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
McDuck 0 Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Why hasn't a manufacturer stepped up and made a 1:1 copy of the Russian 8 rounders yet? They can't be THAT hard to copy in terms of dimensions and materials used. The question of sufficient community demand is moot at this point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gkcf 8 Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 I'd like to know that myself. I'd gladly pay $40 or $50, even $60 for a perfect facsimile of the Russian 8. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lilguy 0 Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 (edited) They just broke the news to me also. And why can't some one do a direct knockoff of the Rusky mags? Edited August 17, 2009 by lilguy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sudaevpps43 31 Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Anyone else have any more ideas. One source=sold out. Russmilitary=sold out. Gun city=sold out. All you can do is be patient. I don't know about One Source Tacitcal since Gabe Suarez himself doesn't know if he will ever be able to get more in, but Rusmilitary and Gun City will definitely get them back in stock eventually (though it might take up to several months). If you absolutely can't wait and no russian 8 rounders show up anywhere else in the meantime (like in the for sale section here or on any auction sites), the only other possible alternative is to 'frankenmag' a couple of russian 5 rounders together. People don't do this much (if at all) any more, but it was done by some back in the old days before there were any U.S. made magazines around. If this is something you are interested in but aren't sure you can pull off yourself, check with Shannon. I know he made a few frankenmags back in those old days, and he may still offer it as a service. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KROSS FA 14 Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Just be patient and check the for sale section here often as well as gun broker for listings. They pop up here and there every now and then. Zach KROSS FA Quote Link to post Share on other sites
raidersfan_5544 57 Posted August 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 (edited) Thanks guys I will try and be patient . Along with one source saying they might not get them anymore I talked with gun city and they said the same. I guess my only hope to get any soon will be on gunbroker or this site.
