Paulyski 2,227 Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 (edited) If you want the utmost reliability & versatility, from a MIL-SPEC mag to bring your gun to the level it was intended to be at.... You gotta pay to play. The Russian mags are what all the other stick-mags wish they could be, but if you clip a wall while running through your house with your US stick mags, the polymer front tab may break off & leave you with a single-shot shotgun that's a bitch to quickly reload. Same if you slip in the mud while running. The Russian 8s are steel reinforced in the front for this very reason. So, my question is, how much are your family's & your lives worth??? $130.00 is chump-change to me, when compared to my GF's, or even dog's life. Customs has made these a bitch to import in mass, so you gotta pay the extra cash. There's a reason that although I have many capacities, I keep a Russian-8 locked & loaded with 3" 15 pellet magnum .00 buck at all times. (of course I keep a 3" slug as the second round, or top mag-round that rests against the bolt, to prevent deformation over the long-term) The MD-20 is also steel reinforced & has NEVER hicuped on me, so that would be my second grab, but it only takes 2 3/4". Everything else is range use only as far as I'm concerned.... Until MD's double-stacks come out, that is.... He IS reinforcing the front lips on those, right?

Paulyski 2,227 Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 why cant US make the same design mag ? or similar ? It's much more expensive to make a tool & process to mold steel reinforcement parts into polymer. MD spent the extra, The Russians did also, but none of the 3 US S-12 stick manufacturers did.

psl sniper 963 Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 well for the price of the one russian mag, you could get 2 of mikes drums on sale right now. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

wired 27 Posted September 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 well for the price of the one russian mag, you could get 2 of mikes drums on sale right now. Not everyone is in love with the drums. They make the gun difficult to move and shoulder and they don't take magnum shells. Do you want to be the guy in court when the attorney pulls out a converted Saiga 12 with a 20 round drum hanging from the bottom for the jury to see? Gonna feel kinda silly arent you? 9 rounds of 3 inch #4 are more than enough to finish the job in a HD situation. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shades_of_grey 1,092 Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 (edited) im not saying its not nice, hell id love to own one myself. i just feel the price is way to steep. Same here. If I could ever find a deal on em, (3 for $270-$290 or similar), I'd love to pick some up. But for ~$130+ apiece, I'd rather put the money toward more ammo or firearms. I can't wait for Mike's double-stacks, (btw Pauly, iirc, they will have steel-reinforced front lugs). I think they'll dominate the market. Better than Russian 8's... and a lot less expensive, (reasonably priced). ymmv. Edited September 19, 2010 by post-apocalyptic Quote Link to post Share on other sites
