dragon 0 Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 We've been burned before, but I may have found a source for 308 mags. I was looking for 8 round mags, but the fellow I've been talking to says he might be able to get 12 round mags. I'll keep you posted. He says that He would sell the mags for $40 - 45. This looks like it will be a small order of about 500 mags to test the waters of demand. If this works out, I've already asked for 4 mags. BIG BIG IF, it might help if I was able to tell him about the amount of interest in these mags. Also, if there is interest in the 8 round mags. I think any factory mag is better than the one that I have right now! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Crosshair 1 Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 Be carefull don't get peoples hopes up, cause they will impale you let them down. That issue aside, nice to hear that people are still trying to import mags for these fine rifles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dragon 0 Posted September 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 I do not want to get any hopes up, The fellow that I'm talking to did not think there was a big enough market for the 308 mags. A small demand would cause either a big $$$ cost for mags or no mags at all, while a greater demand would lower the price. Again BIG BIG IF, IF these mags (12 Rounders) became available, would you be interested? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jtoddellis 2 Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 There is no need to ask that question. Of course there are many here who are intrested. Everyone is just gunshy of promises. If you can produce proof of availability I'm sure people would buy. I still only have one 8 rounder for my .308. If it were to brake I would be screwed.

Macx 2 Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 I bought 8 rounders from some joint over in england. Cost me 44 gbp apiece and I had to do a little fitting work when they arrived, but they have run perfectly on the two range visits since they arrived. They came in an ammount of time I felt was quick considering they are gunparts from outside U.S. I don't think 4 extra rounds is enough a reason to pursue something other than stock. Give me at least seven extra rounds (I really want 12 over stock) capacity otherwise it probably isn't going to be worth the hassle to get something other than stock 8 rounders. Besides, if ya can't hit it in one. . .. well my daddy always said ya didn't deserve to pull the trigger. Extra capacity is just something to have laying around for SHTF, engaging multiple gungrabbers or what have ya. Hunting or plinking, just like the old T.V. show, eight is enough. I do want Hi-caps, but I don't NEED them. A reliable importer in the U.S. sure would be nice, not that the Brits weren't a pleasure to do business with. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dragon 0 Posted September 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 I simply would like more than one mag. 8 rounders are fine by me, but if 12 rounders are available that would be my choice. All I do with my saiga is target shooting. I have found that I can hit a 1" circle (Quarter) at 100 yards pretty much at will. I am not trying to raise hopes, I am trying to demonstrate a viable demand while working with a possible supplier (who is already selling Saiga mags) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

G O B 3,516 Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 If anyone wants to know what kind of intrest there would be for .308 mags only needs to look at the old posts. If you build it they will come. G O B Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pointer 21 Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 Honestly at this point any mag would sell because there is none available.I have only one eight rd mag and personaly will wait until the day 20rd+ mags show up.We all know the 20+rd mags will be the Holy Grail,12rd mags will fill the void only untill then.The eight rd mags should be available once the Saigas start being imported again soon.

monomonk 0 Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 Dragon, you are wrong. There is no such source and no such mags. It would be better for people to keep quiet about hi-caps for the Saiga .308 unless and until the mags have been tested and produced. One working mag is worth more than all the baseless promises and claims. Monomonk We've been burned before, but I may have found a source for 308 mags.I was looking for 8 round mags, but the fellow I've been talking to says he might be able to get 12 round mags.

Macx 2 Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 8 rounders are available, you just have to order from England. They are expensive, but I like having three magazines & now feel I have enough 8's and anxiously await larger cap magazines. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It would be better for people to keep quiet about hi-caps for the Saiga .308 unless and until the mags have been tested and produced. One working mag is worth more than all the baseless promises and claims. Monomonk I said I may have found a source, I do not know if there are 12 round mags, I do know there are 8 round mags. If they can be had here a lower prices, that would be good. Don't try to flame me for letting everyone know about the possibility. I have not made a baseless claim, as I have not made a claim at all. I have not given the possible source name, because as burned as some of us have been in the past, I did not want this person flamed before the proverbial ball gets rolling. I am like others who are just waiting to see if this works out. If it works, Great, if not, then I for one will be in the same boat I started in. No harm and no foul. Like I said before I do not want to raise false hopes, just testing the waters of demand hoping to demonstrate that there is a market for 308 mags. I found this fellow because He was already bringing in saiga mags for 223, X39, and shotguns. I asked and was told that he did not get these because the demand would not support the price that would be charged for the mags. dragon Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dragon 0 Posted October 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 Not wanting to raise hopes, I will put out any info as soon as I know it. 8 rounds are cool for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dragon 0 Posted October 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 My possible source is not sending any replies to my questions, I do not know if He is still working on getting mags or not. I waiting, but losing hope. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
