Ayounglee87 0 Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 Looking for opinion on highest quality 30 round magazine for saiga 7.62x39 with BG installed. Also inform where to purchase please. You guys ever buy ak47 magazines at gun shows? I live in MI and often people are selling metal ak47 mags... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You've started 3 thread's now when everything has been answered in the first thread. Now you're just crowding up the page... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I saw your hacksaw mag mod pic and from the looks of it you shouldn't be given any advice. When there are 3 thread's in 12 hours asking the same questions that have been answered it's a little much. Nothing wrong with him being new and asking questions but he keeps asking the same questions over and over. Apparently you go for pretty looking mags, my "hacksaw" job work's perfectly fine for me. I use my mag not look at how pretty (or in my case how ugly) it is. BTW, if you read the first thread and my advice wasn't valid then why didn't you offer any advice? Thought they were dumb questions that have been gone over a bazillion times and it wasn't worth your time? But it's worth your time to regulate other members posts?

IBut it's worth your time to regulate other members posts? You're the first one in this thread to start regulating other members post. Give the newbie a break hacksaw. As for answering the question which mag is the best, its all a matter of personnel preference. Kind of like an oil thread for hot rods or motorcycles. There are no correct answer to his question, just opinions BTW,,,,my modified mags look great and work flawlessly. Edited February 23, 2013 by Jetmech Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I sent him a PM hacksaw Sent Today, 12:08 PM Most metal surplus mags will work great, as do most polymer mags. Just make sure there are no dents in the mag body and the spring moves freely.BTW....fvck Dubya Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lbsrdi 1,078 Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 best mag....izzy 103I have one of these and I was going to say the same thing. Anyone who owns one of these will agree. If you can't find one then most metal mags are fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sport Rescue 245 Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 Personally, the East German mags are really nice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mostholycerebus 415 Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 The bulgarian circle 10 mags are probably the 'best' because they work flawlessly and are among the lightest. The steel comblo mags are the 'best' mags if you are looking for solidly built and dead reliable boat anchors. The US Palm are the 'best' if you need 922r parts and are concerned with weight. The tapco slab-sides are the 'best' if you have a very loose magwell, are concerned with 922r or weight, and are on a budget. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LuPiN8oR 333 Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 I dont know much but from personal experience id have to say the original saiga 10 rounder modified for a bullet guide is my failsafe mag. The tapco mags i have work but sometimes seem to hiccup in terms of rocking n locking (might be wear related). The promags really like to double fire (take that for what its worth ) and the Bulgarian 40 rounder... well if it fails it doubles as a club lmao! Oh and its never failed me lolz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tool_of_Society 15 Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 I run tapcos at the range because of their cheap price and light weight. Fortunately over the years I've not had any problems with them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gunfun 3,931 Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 Here is an interesting thread: http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?/topic/58082-us-palm-ak30-magazine/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dubya 198 Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 Good link GF. I like the Palm mags the best of any I've tried so far. A local store has them for $25/mag (they were $20) and a limit of 1 per day. I've picked up 9 so far. Dont really need that many but whatever. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gunfun 3,931 Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 BigSal lives near me and we shoot together from time to time. He prefers the circle 10s, and he has a strong bias against anything US made compared to combloc military issue. I thought this particular test was pretty impressive though for thoroughness. What he says is essentially that dollar for dollar, cicle tens are stronger and a nicer shape than US palm, both work well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
richUK 90 Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 For what its worth I find Izhmash and Tula bakelites to be very good.In both my Saiga 104 and Romanian AKM they have the least amount of "wobble" compared to all my steel mags (Chicom, E German, Russian etc).

dubya 198 Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 (edited) Id like to try some circle 10 mags but haven't found any locally. I haven't tried a mag that hasn't worked perfect yet, so far i have 40 round Bulgarian slab sides, 30 round US Palm mags, 30 round Tapco waffle mags, and just picked up two 30 round polymer Bulgarian mags with little bullet shaped markings on the side. I assume they'll work just as flawlessly as the others polymer Bulgarian mags i have. They all work equally well (except the Tapco follower binds up while loading it) but i prefer the Palm mags. They feel the strongest of the poly mags I've tried and they fit the best in my rifle, hardly any play or wobble at all. Edited February 24, 2013 by dubya Quote Link to post Share on other sites
breid1970 327 Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 wow, and I thought I was doing well with my five mags. I received two metal mags of unknown origin with the rifle, and I have been picking up 30 Bulgarian poly mags at a local store for 12 bucks for the 30 rounders. Looks like Im going to have to step up my magazine buying here. On a side note, I have 4 aluminum 30 round milspec 5.56 AR mags. They are in decent to good shape, springs work well. Willing to trade them for said same AK mags. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dubya 198 Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Im paying $20 for the same 30 rd poly Bulgarian mags. The 40 rd one's were also $20 but haven't seen any for a few week's. There's two stores within 5 miles both selling Palm mags, one store (an actual gun shop) for $37.99 and the other for $25. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
breid1970 327 Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Dang, fleet farm has the 30 round bulgarians poly for 12 and the 40 rounders for 20. They are also selling the metal korean ones for 25 i think. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wtjosaas 72 Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 The Fleet Farm in Rochester didn't have much for any mags that I saw yesterday but they do have 5.45 ammo spam cans for 219.99/1080. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dubya 198 Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Yeah im buying mine from FF too. Im going to ask them why they're $20 up here and $12 by you. The Fleet Farm in Rochester didn't have much for any mags that I saw yesterday but they do have 5.45 ammo spam cans for 219.99/1080.Shhh don't say that on a public forum! Then i won't be able to get any lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
breid1970 327 Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Uh right. fleet farm doesnt have any mags at all. No sir. Never saw one there...Ever... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mullet Man 2,114 Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 I wish the other brother that runs Farm & Fleet would stock magazines. All we get is a small selection of ammo, clay pigeons and low end "safes" ;( Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dubya 198 Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Is that the relation? It's two brother's that own Fleet Farm & Farm and Fleet? Fleet Farm is the best store around, they've got EVERYTHING a guy could need. Even stocking Kimbers now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mullet Man 2,114 Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 (edited) Story is they ran Farm & Fleet together but had a family fued and split up. The one that left opened the Fleet Farm chain out of spite.ess the hearsay Edit; I guess the hearsay about the feud is not true.
