tsawy93 19 Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 I would be happy to take the other two off your hands. If I am too late, just put me in line in case someone fails to pay or if you happen to get any "extra" extras... Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paulyski 2,227 Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 (edited) You guys WON'T be disappointed with the Russian 8s & that's 10.00 cheaper than buying them from the UK. Edited July 4, 2010 by Paulyski Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tiny 2 Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 A Big+1 For Biglumber. Fast shipping and great communication. My two Russian 8rd mag's I bought from him arrived better than described. Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shades_of_grey 1,092 Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 I'd really love to have at least one Izzy 8, but with MD hinting that his double-stacks are just around the corner, I can't justify the frankly ricockulous price the Izzies sell for, (due to BATFE-caused rarity, I know). I'm sure they're fantastic, (as reliable as the factory 5's), but, assuming the design works as well as I've heard, I think Mike's double-stack mags will dominate the market once they're released, (for good reason). We'll see... soon, I hope. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KROSS FA 14 Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 The doublestacks will be neat, no doubt about it however, although the two markets will slightly overlap, I don't see them having much affect on each other at all. The Russian production Izzy 8's have consistently maintained and even increased in value over the years despite the domestic production of 8, 10 (remember how big of a deal these were!), and 12 round stick mags as well as 20 and 30 round drums, and even now mini-drums. I don't see that pattern changing in the future either. They offer a combination of aesthetics, performance, and context that just can't be diminished. Whether used as a best choice home defense magazine or just to finish off that perfect look for a converted Saiga, every S12 owner should have at least one in their collection, IMO. It's just a shame there aren't more available. Zach Kross, LLC 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We'll see... soon, I hope. I wouldn't hold my breath just yet. Those mags were announced almost a year ago. The pistol grips were announced about the same time and it was March before they were actually available. When the product page went live it said (as it still does) "At this time we don't have a Tromix ready version of this grip available....We should have this ironed out in the coming week". It's four months later and still no Tromix version. If you want an Izmash mag by all means get one now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Surefire sticks and MD-20's will do well enough in the meantime. ymmv. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
