bmanrkg3 0 Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 whats preventing us from using AK style magazines from the 7.62Xxx counterpart? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
grizzlybigbore 0 Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 the 308 is way longer than the standard AK round. it will not fit in the magazine. also, even if you could get a .308 to fit into a regular ak mag(which isnt possible), the magwell on the 308 rifle is also larger than the standard AK.

stokstad 4 Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 If there was a 308 AK made it wouldnt be an issue like the .223. But to my knowledge there isnt a 308 AK besides the Saigas. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

grizzlybigbore 0 Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 Actually there is an AK in 308. its the Yugo AKM90. Unfortunately, the mag well and trunion are way different from saigas so the mags arent interchangeable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TWGLADF 0 Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 there was an auction on gunbroker for 2 of those yugo ak 308 mags but they were going for about $200! wow! it seems people with that gun are in the same boat as us saiga owners. there are mags but go ahead and put your arms and legs on the chopping block. if you want to play, you gotta pay!
