D.C.MORRISON 494 Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 I would purchase 10 and or 12 round mags the very moment they are released. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
csspecs 1,987 Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 I have some R&D time this weekend. Last three weeks have been spent building Saiga and Vepr .308 20 round mags and Saiga 20 gauge 10s. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

csspecs 1,987 Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 The other two partners (Father and brother) voted for black out until after the holidays. I figure I can say this: First run if everything works, will be 8 round. I am interested in what the spring length and pressure is in a factory 8 round, compared to a 5 round. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nephilim7 107 Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Is there a pre-buy or release sale we should know about? Need any beta testers??? I am VERY interested in S12 8's. Thanks CSSSpecs! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gunfun 3,931 Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 It's after the holidays. Do we get presents soon? Or maybe some teaser pics of the prototypes? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

csspecs 1,987 Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 I only have so many arms.. Its kinda bothering me that I can't finish that project right now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
horatio 515 Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 its understandable. seeing as how this is your livlihood, you know more about it then we do. i have zero idea of what is involved in getting this going, but i'm sure as you've noticed, given the current state, there are maybe, just a couple people interested. thank you for considering this project, as well as the time you have invested into it, i for one, am very grateful for your endevours. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gunfun 3,931 Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Well, I wouldn't blame you for using existing dies to crank out your high demand items as fast as you can for the next few weeks. That would give you some working capital right about now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
csspecs 1,987 Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 We use the same mill in production for making front and back lugs that is used to make tooling. My brother operates the mill and I've had him running front and back lugs for the last two weeks. He just started making tooling today and should at least have some progress on it shortly. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And he only raised the price of his mags what, a couple of bucks each? Talk about letting a good crisis go to waste... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nephilim7 107 Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 FANTASTIC! Glad you guys are making headway. Like I said, keep us posted on when to expect to buy. Do we have a certain price point (ballpark) we are aiming for? Man, developing and making things like that is my dream job. If I never work my career around to it, I'll definitely be doing it in retirement. It's the one thing in my engineering schooling I was REALLY passionate about. Jealous of you guys making it happen... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sapper1371usmc 107 Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 I cant wait for these to be made. Ill be in for 6 total. Although probably not in one lump purchase though, depending on price. Ohh, and i vote 8rnd mags Quote Link to post Share on other sites
headshot 52 Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 8 and 10 round rock-lock mags would be nice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
psl sniper 963 Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 why not... 10 rnder please. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gunfun 3,931 Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 He has already said in this thread first batch will be 8 rounders. I want larger magazines, but mostly I look forward to that first batch and I want that first batch to be good, and I want it as soon as practical for CSSpecs. I'd rather keep things simple and get the 8s soon than burden him with troubleshooting several sizes at once. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TxAgSaiga1979 16 Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 I would like 10 round magazines capable of holding both 2-3/4" and 3" shells. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gazpacho 5 Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Well, considering that many people have tried to make a steel S12 magazine, I will take what I can get, and like it. Heck, I bought a Saiga 20 just because Ccspecs made a steel magazine for it. No joke! If he can't make a steel mag for the S12, I seriously might sell mine to finance a second S20.

Nephilim7 107 Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Still waiting for the release... 10 or 8 round is good with me. Leaning toward 10, now. Better to get it right the first time than have to recall a lot to fix. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lbsrdi 1,078 Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Has it been discussed what type of finish these mags will have? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
csspecs 1,987 Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 (edited) Black nitride is probably the best choice. Edited March 27, 2013 by csspecs Spell check misspelled nitride as nitrate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gunfun 3,931 Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 That would look great. Park is pretty classy too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
csspecs 1,987 Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Park does not have as much surface hardness, and its hard to get it done in FL. The environmental impact fee is as much as the finish, none of the big industrial places have it. Black nitride is actually pretty amazing for corrosion resistance.

gunfun 3,931 Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Well, I guess I am looking forward to some nice black nitride then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
