schultze13 354 Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 It depends on alot of things AGP's 10rd'ers are my favorite for rock-n-lock because they have a steel feed lip but it you want to run a magwell I would use a R and R target magwell with 12rd surefire mags, no steel feed lips but they seem to have no problems. Check out there web site and there post on this forum if you are wanting to get into 3-gun. As for mag pouches although he is no longer a forum business member and I can't give you a link search "The vest guy" if he does not have it contact him and he can make it. Hope this helps.

Mephis 82 Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 If you're going to use a magwell the AGPs will work out great for you. In a stock gun using rock-n-lock loading, the front lug on the magazines will bust off pretty easily as with pretty much all non-reinforced poly mags. Unless you're using 3" magnums the surefire mags will work great either way, they seem to be a little more robust with their front lug in my experiences. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know about that I just got two 12rd Surefire mags and both FTF on the eleventh round every time. I think I saw a post where people were adding material to the follower to keep it from tilting too much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

psl sniper 963 Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 the ar15 pouch you mentioned will hold a 5rnd mag. anything else is too long. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
steveb327 13 Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 (edited) You didn't say if your vest was modular or had fixed pockets, but take a look here for a bunch of mag pouches: http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?/topic/3426-mag-pouches-for-saiga-12/page__hl__%2BmaG+%2Bpouches Edited June 2, 2011 by steveb327 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TO THE FLOOR IN A 63 121 Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 My favorite are the surefire mags. I probably bought twelve 12 rounders for $25 each. I am not crazy about the length so I cut many of them down to 8 rounders. Takes about 5 minutes. The $25 each deal is gone now but I have found a place to get surefire 10 round mags for $30 each...and they will cut down to 8 too. BTW I don't have problems with my promags either but I shoot silicone down them before I first use them. I only have one AGP so I won't comment on that. The MD20 are great but the 12 round promag drums and the 8 round surefires are really my favorite and although the the russian mags are considered the most reliable I don't have any.

SaigaNoobie 66 Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 The best mags imo are the 10rd AGP. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
