shootsmuch 9 Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Can 5.45 mags be used or adapted for a Saiga .223? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
liberty -r- death 1,445 Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 99% will not work. The curve is wrong for the rounds to feed up in the magazine properly and they will hang up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
corbin 621 Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Agreed. They might work for the top couple rounds, but they aren't going to do very well otherwise. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pyzik 597 Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 Looks like you have your answer but I can echo you will have a huge headache. You MAY get some rounds to feed well but never the whole mag and will be hit or miss. The price of 5.45 mags are darn near the price of proper mags anyway. Plus Tapco has been making Galil mags on the cheap that will work with light modding. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
