I just picked up a new 7.62. I have one question, Where is the best place to order some 30 rd. mags that will fit it ? I'm sure after I have it a while I will have a lot more questions so I want say thanks for all your help in advance.

Sure Fire has 30 Round Polymer Magazines to fit the Saiga 7.62. They are US Made.

 

I on the other hand would restore it to the correct AK pistol grip configuration, make sure that you have satisfied 922R and then use Commie Military mags.

If I remember the armory had some at a good price a while back.. just search the armory, I'm not sure if I'm allowed to link it..

 

 

But more importantly DO NOT put a high cap mag in it until it is 922r compliant. Illegal otherwise

Just picked mine up yesterday too. And I wandered the same thing. The whole 922r thing confuses the crap out of me, as of now I still don't understand it. I want hi-cap mags now, and the pistol grip sooner or later but don't know exactly what to buy (foreign or USA)

And I know you guys are tired of it. (Ya just have to be...)

Get a US made handguard (like $40) and then buy US made mags (3 USA parts) (Surefire mags first, then maybe Thermolds - I can hear the gasps on the 2nd one).

 

That is 4 US made parts total which in 'stock' form means 922r compliant.

+1 to what ywhic said.

I just bought some 10 rounders (ca. legal) from sportsmen tactical supply cheaper than anywhere else I could find. Didn't post link, cause I'm not sure if they are a proper sponsor.

Here is the simple explanation. It isn't confusing. Your rifle has 14 parts total. If you want to have hi cap mags, 4 of those parts need to be made in the USA. Therefore if you get a Surefire mag that counts as 3 parts, you still need one more part to swap out to get your 4 USA parts. That can be any part you choose. The simplest is the stock.

 

The problem is that a Surefire is $40 and a stock is $40. It will only cost you $150 to convert the whole thing to a standard AK. So the choice is yours.
