Cracker7 2 Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 What's going on guys? I just got a new saiga rifle. Went to the range this past weekend and love it. I want to get some more mags but living in New York this task is fustrating. So many crazy rules here. 10 round mags are all i can get. I really like the look of the 30 round mags. Was wondering if the US Palm 30/10 mag will work in the saiga? My rifle is stock. Thanks in advance. Cracker7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
imarangemaster 315 Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 It will work with modifications to the rifle. You need to add a bullet guide to the trunnion and trim the magazine catch slightly. 30 rounders look cool, but if you are stuck with 10 rounders, get an SKS chest pouch and a stack of Saiga factory 10 rounders. They are really much handier. 30s are a pain in the but when using it as a house PDW. I keep a factory 10 in my restored Saiga, with a loaded 30 on the shelf next to it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nailbomb 10,221 Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Honestly your best bet is to do a bare bones conversion with bullet guide. 922r will be easy that way, and you can take advantage of the large amount of pre-ban comblock steel mags. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cracker7 2 Posted January 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Thanks for the help. For now I'll stick to the ten rounders. I guess? P,S. I'm in NY Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Makc 64 Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Well, if you are in NY, then the dealer that you bought the gun from should have done a bit better job explaing you that the reason that you cannot find the 30-rounders in any store is not due to the fact that all the stores are "out-of-stock" because Santa snagged most of them before Christmas and loving wives got the rest before New Years during the "blowout sales", but due to the fact the one of those "many crazy rules" limits you to only legally possessing 10-round magazines in the state of New York (unless you are a LEO).

Cracker7 2 Posted January 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 I guess my question was not understood. I know that i can only get 10 round mags in NY. Without moding the rifle for the pre ban mags. But US Palm makes a 10 round mag that looks like a 30 round mag. Was just wondering if anyone knows if it would work in a stock rifle?

KevininPa 8 Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 "30 rounders look cool, but if you are stuck with 10 rounders, get an SKS chest pouch and a stack of Saiga factory 10 rounders. They are really much handier" Agreed. I have the wood sporter stock and I'm happy with it. Why add the bulk without the benefit of the additional ammo? Eventually I'll change out my FCG and then I can run some American thirty rounders, but it's not a priority right now. Got other Saiga issues at the moment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Once you do your conversion, Copes sells pre ban Chinese 30 round mags and KY Impoerts sells Hugarian 20 round mags to NY residents. Also any gun show in upstate NY will have LOADS of pre ban 30 round AK mags in the $15 range. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nailbomb 10,221 Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Still INCREDIBLY pleased with the Copes "Rusty Mag" sale they had. picked up 10 30 round mags that had barely a blemish on them! still blasted them, and had them duracoated anyway! Never had a hiccup! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
