D.C.MORRISON 494 Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 (edited) RAM S12XC (Saiga 12 Extended Magazine Catch)this is the one i'm using. really like it. install is tricky. Edited December 12, 2011 by DANE AXE Quote Link to post Share on other sites
imarangemaster 315 Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 +1 on the RAM speed catch. Wonderful piece of kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Azkamidaka 26 Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 +1 also on the RAM. To be honest though the design is a little poor and needs to be modified slightly to make up for the fact that there is nothing keeping the thing from bending too far forward and possibly snapping off at some point...JB weld? Silver solder? Tack weld? Something....I can bend mine quite easily...and if that bad boy snaps off downrange you are in some deep shit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Foxtail207 23 Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Take a look at the EMA Tactical mag release. It's ambidextrous, looks easy to install, and it's pretty cheap, about $18 at sites I've seen. I'm thinking about getting one after Christmas. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
datrowl 111 Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 (edited) I've seen folks cut a cross bar for the existing mag release and rivet it on... or weld it on... or screw it on.... almost universally looks like hammered ass... if I was going to fiddle with the mag release http://store.carolinashooterssupply.com/servlet/-strse-600/RAMS-SAIGA-AK47-TACTICAL/Detail GREAT kit... I have one on all 7 of my AKs, its one of my standard mods, along with a Krebs safty and a Tromix chargeing handle. Note however, the install can be tricky unless you have 3 hands. and Foxtail, I have one of those EMA ones... they are plastic, torque when you try and use em, and IMHO not worth the cost of the packageing they came in... if you want one PM me bro, i'll send ya this one and save ya the headache of figureing out how bad it is on your own dime. They actually require 2 fingers, one on each mag tab side to release the mag makeing mag changes harder and slower rather than quicker and easier... utter junk with a masters in fail.

HBrebel 5 Posted December 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 I am thinking of putting the dang mag lock on there as well(unless I am ok putting some type of paddle on the dragunov stock) will these work with the mag lock?
