[And don't worry, I am not doing anything illegal. I got a non-official word from an ATF guy that I can mod them and put a block in to only accept 10 rounds. NON_OFFICIAL!!!! No one can say 'but i heard from chapperjoe'. My problem is the price of the saiga mags, not their capacity.]

You have to lower the front of the Weiger mag lips to match the profile of your original mag, then you have to modify the catch lip at the rear on three surfaces. You can read about how to do it on my Saiga web page on the page for Step 10.

 

I you do not want to install a bullet guide, I recommend you get a good pair of calipers and be as accurate as possible with your modifications.

 

Or you can look for some Galil mags (30-round steel, 35-round plastic, or 50-round steel). They fit pretty much without any mods whatsoever. The 50-rounders are currently available in used but good condition for $20.
