Guyfromtx 0 Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Hey guys , Ive not asked many questions on this forum because most have been easy fixes. I just bought my first MD Arms 20 rd drum and unpack it and to my dismay the darn thing wont even fit in the magwell of my unmodified saiga 12. (except for gas puck for 922). All the SGM and factory mags fit with no problems. To be clear im not talking about the "A" and "B" fittings that Mike covers in the video on his web site. The feed tower to drum is simply to wide to even fit in the gun much less worry about it being able to lock in. I asked this question here because questions usually come quickly. Thanks for your time and I apologize if this has been covered somewhere else but I couldnt find it. (My plan is to LIGHTLY file on the sides of polymer on the feed tower as it seems to be where it hangs up) Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Marc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nailbomb 10,221 Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 I think you've got a good plan of action. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guyfromtx 0 Posted February 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Yeah I kinda feel stupid asking cause it seems like a no brainer. Better to ask than to jump in a screw up a 100 dollar drum . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nailbomb 10,221 Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Might be worthwhile to contact Mike and ask him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akwatercraft 0 Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 i have thre of the md 20 drums and they were all a snug fit the firsst few times i used them,,,,, filing would be a last resort. ditto calling them maybe they can walk you through fitting them. just sayin mine had to be gently convinced to fit! good luck Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Marc Yeah I had the same problem, I had to file that surface too to get into fit into the bottom of the receiver... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DogMan 2,343 Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 It's just the nature of the beast that these guns are manufactured with varying degrees of tolerance. I'm sure that's why Mike designed the drums so that they would be a little tight on the guns with the narrower mag ports so that there wouldn't be too much slop on ones that were a little wide. The good thing about your situation is that with just a bit of filing you can make yours fit perfectly. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
