Trigger_Puller 0 Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 Last Friday (11/19), I order two Saiga 5 round mags from KeepShooting website for $11.95 each (total w/shipping $31.90). I figured for that price that if they were crap it wouldn't be an expensive lesson. To my pleasent surprise they arrived in today's mail. If you watch thier "proper seating of Saiga mags" video, they explain that you should apply pressure to the rear of the mag for it to seat and lock up properly. They were right! After applying slight preassure to the rear of the mage it click into place. Being the type of person who will not leave well enough alone, I whipped out the Dremmel and shaved off a little bit of plastic under the front alignment lip. Now they both lock into place like the factory mag without the need to apply pressure. Over all, they are great mags for the price and would highly recommend them.

RichardC1967 81 Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 I have 4 and am extremely happy with them...although the plastic is a bit slick and I took some sandpaper to them to give them better grip Quote Link to post Share on other sites

esswun 1 Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 I heard about this mag just a couple days ago, so I just bought a couple to compare against a ProMag(which I heard sucks), a Surefire, and the stock Izhmash. Hopefully these work well. $11.95?! Can't beat that price. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
psl sniper 963 Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 went ahead and ordered one. if i like it ill get more. i already have 3 factory 5 rnders. i like the 5 rnders because they fit very nicely in my pockets, which makes it great for a last ditch when my drums run empty. id like to have 8 total. ill still keep looking for cheap factory mags in the mean time. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
farmdog 12 Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 I bought a couple and they have worked really well, no issues. I took one of those green scouring pads and went over the finish to take the shine off and imho look more natural. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
