redsoldier 7 Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Does anyone know do the SAIGA factory mags have the metal reinforcement in the feedlips? Metal front and/or rear catch/lugs? Metal reinforcement down the front and/or back? A proper AK mags has all of these, but I am unsure if the SAIGA mag has any of hem. In such a short mag, they are probably not needed, but I'm just mildly curious if they are. I sold my only stock mag when I switched mags so I don't have one to cut up to find out or I would. Anyone got any info? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paulyski 2,227 Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 (edited) Yes. FACTORY Saiga mags have steel in the front feed-lip. Not at the rear. Member/contributor: "DistalRadius" did a topic where he x-rayed them & posted a but-load of pics MD-20s also have steel in the front feed lip. None of the other after-market mags he x-rayed had the reinforcement. Here's the thread: http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?showtopic=37889 Edited August 27, 2009 by Paulyski Quote Link to post Share on other sites
redsoldier 7 Posted August 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Does this hold true for the 7.62 and .223 mags as well I wonder? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
