gunfighteruk 6 Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Ok so who saw anything new for the Saiga 12 at the Shot Show ??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jmacken37 4 Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 I saw a couple new drums from Promag for the S12. One was a 20 rounder that looked very similar to MDArms' drum and another was a 12 rounder. Dealer pricing was suprisingly inexpensive. The 20 rounder had a thumb latch to bring the follower down a bit to aid in loading. Rear cover was clear on both drums. Jake Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mscottrogers 56 Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 I'm not excited about anything from progag Quote Link to post Share on other sites
billyjoebob 10 Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 I don't know if I have a pot big enough to fit a pro-mag drum in boiling water... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gibbles 23 Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 All of the effort that promag seems to put into putting out crap... why can't they just spend a bit longer and come out with something that works for once... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bigcraig 0 Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 ATI is supposedly bringing an AR12 to market soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wade Pruetz 103 Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Does Promag make anything worth a crap? I am on the AR15 forum all the time and crappy Promag magazines are a always a hot button topic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

schultze13 354 Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 My S-12 10rd promags work now after fixing, my 30rd ak-74 promags work after fitting them, my 8rd 1911 mag doesn't hold the slide back or drop free, BUT my 40rd 1911 drum 400rds and counting and has been flawless. So when I can get one I will at least try one and will go from there. Still think MDarms drums are the best hands down. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

VanKiller 322 Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 I had a good conversation with Mr Smith of Pro-Mag. He owns a 12 inch conversion, and was pretty pissed when the complaints stated rolling in about the mags not fitting current production guns. I can only think of my old Drill Sgt when I think of the conversation with his engineer.."What do you mean these 10,000 mags only fit my gun" They got caught in the Izhmash lack of QC last year too.

jimdigriz 580 Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Does Promag make anything worth a crap? I am on the AR15 forum all the time and crappy Promag magazines are a always a hot button topic. Their consistent lack of quality leads me to believe that it's not so much shoddy workmanship, as a deliberate scam. And they stay in business because people say to themselves "Well, maybe it will work for me (since it reportedly works well for some others), and it is cheaper/easier/has a larger capacity..." And that's what they're counting on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fxhart 14 Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Hey guys, I've been off the forum for a while but I did see this nice video from the Shot Show (I hope it's not a dupe!). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q69lNr4C25U&feature=sdig&et=1264544166.64 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oldandslow 3 Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 My buddy was at the shot show. Went to the R&R Targets display. Bought a R&R Saiga. $3200. Wheeeeee..... He reports that at the time of his order, a dozen were sold to other shot show participants. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fxhart 14 Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 Who is that "NutnFancy" guy? He reviews a lot of guns, gear, knives, etc on YouTube. He has hundreds of videos up and they are quite good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dirt Diver 0 Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 (edited) Who is that "NutnFancy" guy? He reviews a lot of guns, gear, knives, etc on YouTube. He has hundreds of videos up and they are quite good. That guy has TONS of great info vids. He is, right now, under a full frontal vid attack by the biggest bunch of jackass, weenie, whineie, dip-dunk, prattling girly-girl armchair elitists that I've ever seen. A bunch of in-the-basement, one hand on the keyboard and the other on....well, I'll leave it at that, inbread mama give me $20 for Pizze Hut limp wristed, no nothing weebles. The guy ain't perfect, just like everyone of us. But, Frack me, he's helped me immeasurably and his videos are Sweet!! and very detailed with many talking points. He has a whole series on Shot Show 2010 Edited January 27, 2010 by Dirt Diver Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IronRonin 19 Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 Great vid! The interviewer asks good questions to help inform saiga noobs. The anti-saiga comments below the video sent me into rage, haha. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
