Does the Saiga 12 factory 5rd mag support roll crimped shells? If so, where can I find them online?

[Shandlanos 1,470]

Yes, they do. I've purchased Rio Royal crimped 00 buck from ammotogo a few times. Inexpensive.

Do you have a link? I found Remington slugs at http://www.ammunitiontogo.com/product_info.php/pName/100rds-12-gauge-remington-buckhammer-2-34-1-14oz-slug-ammo, but no RIO rolled crimp 00 buckshot.

I've used Sellier & Bellot 3" 15pellet OOB with no problems in those KOS mags or SGM Mags. SGammo has some good deals right now. I think the only problem people have with roll crimped shells is with drums as 2/34" roll crimped shells are often longer than the same thing in star crimp.

 

Ditto for B&P slugs except they weren't hot enough to cycle properly. They fed fine as far as the mag was concerned though.

Thanks.

 

The SAAMI standard can be very helpful when shell length is of significance:

I have run a bunch of 3" Remington slugs, which are roll crimped, through mine. No problems whatsoever.
