csspecs 1,987 Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 These have been under development for some time. We are currently waiting on the blanks to be laser cut. For size comparison there is a 30 round AK-47 mag under the 10 round S-20 mag. Its even with the top rear feed lip, and you can see the bottom corners near the base Magazines have been finished and tested. Now available on our website. www.csspecs.com Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ThirtyAughtSix 101 Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 As always very nice man! Have you ever thought of doing anything for a .410? The 15 rounds SGM mags just seem so flimsy because of how thin they are. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
garnaz 215 Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Talk to Mike and Cameron about doing something with the s-12 stuff they have and see if you can get the double stack and compact drum out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
csspecs 1,987 Posted August 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Talk to Mike and Cameron about doing something with the s-12 stuff they have and see if you can get the double stack and compact drum out. Both of those products are past my technology level. But we do have a full list of products coming out over the next 12 months that should have people fairly pleased. We are making changes to keeps costs down on new projects, and to hopefully be more competitive in pricing while still making the same end product. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

csspecs 1,987 Posted September 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Alright. Yet another update. First run is done, still needs to go in for black oxide. We tested several of the production models with our Saiga 20 guage. All fit and functioned with Remington ammo, federal ammo failed to eject 1 out of 3 rounds on average, compared with 1 out of 2 with the factory mag. Our shotgun HATES federal ammo, so I was not surprised. Fail to ejects are not a magazine problem. Otherwise switching shells would not fix it. Odds are one of the gas adjustment knobs will fix it. Picture is not the entire batch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

garandman 11 Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 This is great news indeed. Glad the S20 folks finally get some respect, and the S12 guys don't get to have all the fun. Sent you a reply IM. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bartertownshakedown 1 Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 Any update on these? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
csspecs 1,987 Posted September 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 Still working on doing all our home work on these. I don't want a product out without having a pretty good feeling on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
junior1 0 Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 That doesn't sound good.Hope the parkerizing didn't mess things up. Let us know were ALL DIEING TO GET THESE! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
csspecs 1,987 Posted September 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 Nothing like that... I have not finished my own part of the testing due to shotgun issues. I'm having a problem with my shotgun not ejecting with other brands of bulk ammo. It functions fine with Remington sport loads, everything else short strokes either leaving a empty in the chamber or a stove pipe. This is with the factory magazine not mine. I'd probably have them selling already but I'm working 12-14 hour days on another project. I'm going to get back with the testers and see what their final opinion is. I'd really like to sell them, it would be a nice to have part of my investment back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
junior1 0 Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 Sorry to here about gun troubles. I here ya on the work thing too, no rest for the wicked! Taking any pre orders??? Could help get that investment money coming back quick . Either way sounds like our itchy little fingers will be stuffin ammo in them soon enough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
csspecs 1,987 Posted October 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 Figured it out. Covered gas port, so its under gassed. Slow motion showed it when compared to other videos. So that is solved. I'm still waiting on a couple of replies but I may release them shortly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
going12220 125 Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 At one point I was dealing with 3 Saiga 20s, 1st would pick up shells off the ground and cycle anything (this is the gun we all hope to buy), 2nd might run high brass shells on Tuesday at 12:15 if you had made an appointment (found it had interference between the ejector on the frame and the slot on the bolt that had to be polished down), 3rd as it turned out was more or less normal functioning (it was the one I should have been listening to, but I really wanted it to be the 1st one that was right). Trying to figure out what if anything worked or didn’t work wasn’t any easier to figure out with 3 test guns than apparently it was with one. Glad to read about the ongoing progress looking forward to trying your mags. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
csspecs 1,987 Posted October 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 Mags are up for sale. We think they are good to go, but this is first run so we are suggesting to buy one to try them in your gun. http://stores.csspec...-8rd/Detail.bok Quote Link to post Share on other sites

going12220 125 Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 Mine came today, looks good, had to trim a little / round off the top of the front locking lug to get it into the gun and locked, loaded 8 rounds OK, hand cycled OK, reloaded 8 rounds OK, fired 8 rounds with out any issues, so far everything about it looks good to me.
