Legion USA 107 Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 We do have plenty of the 8 rounders in stock, and I have already made a request for the railed lower hand guard along with the GK-01 muzzle brake. All orders that were placed over the weekend have been shipped, and the remaining orders will go out tomorrow. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Thor's Hammer 33 Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 We do have plenty of the 8 rounders in stock, and I have already made a request for the railed lower hand guard along with the GK-01 muzzle brake. All orders that were placed over the weekend have been shipped, and the remaining orders will go out tomorrow. Very cool. A railed gas block would be good too! Welcome to our little corner of the internet. Don't be a stranger, we love to hear about new items in the lineup. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DresNightfire 39 Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 10 rounders have arrived!!! Seems like some rubbery coating to bond the factory 8+ 2 rounds together. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Muffman 54 Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 (edited) That is pretty much all they are. Molot 8's epoxied to the pieces they cut off of all the US 5 rounders they shipped. Each Vepr 12 shipped to US has two in the box, so they have thousands of these left over neutered mag remnants. Waste not, want not...

Jeluvsk 58 Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Hope those 10's hold up looks like they cut the 8's alittle to make the 10. I hope the bottom piece is in a hook fit and not just glued on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
st381 3 Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 For the price of one of these frankensteined Molot 10 rounders I can buy 3 SGM 12 rounders. I have ten of the SGM 12 round mags and have yet to have a problem with any of them. After seeing that pic of a Molot 10 rounder there is no way that thing is worth $119.00.

kwelhand 2 Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Yeah... $119 seems a little steep to me as well. I might pick up some more 5 rounders.... Any source for cheap factory 5 rounders? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
menace667 194 Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 I would say the eight rounders are still the best overall quality and value of the factory mags. Legion has them $89 shipped for 8 rounds. The factory five rounders are about $50 each plus shipping from all the vendors so say $55 which averages $11 per capacity round. I have and use the SGM 10 rounders fine also, but the factory mags are more reliable and if you plan to spend the cash for factory mags at $89 the legion 8 rounders are the way to go.... Assuming you meet legal compliance and such. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Legion USA 107 Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Vepr 5 round magazines available to order now, 20 units of the Vepr 10 rounders still available. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thebuns1 4,323 Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 Id say these will hold up fairly well, but prefer my SGM 12's, or Russian 8's. At least they arent wasting materials. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MAKAK47 21 Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 any word on how well these 10 rounders work? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nexus 0 Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 (edited) I have read a couple times over the years that Russian designed polymer mags are always bonded together. An ordinary polymer 74 mag (or AK-103 mag, for that matter) starts out as two halves which are bonded along the seam that you can plainly see on the back and front of the mag. It sounds like a design flaw, but I think, in practice, the glue or polymer weld, or whatever it is, is probably just as strong or stronger than any other horizon in the polymer. This is just something I have read from lurking in forums like this, it may or may not be correct. I am not sure if a factory Vepr 8 round mag is molded in one piece or two, but it does have the same ground down seam that a 74 mag has. The gluing two halves technique might be something that was adopted to allow for the installation of the steel reinforcements, which wouldn't be necessary in a Vepr mag, but that doesn't say one way or another if they would use the same manufacturing process. Anyway, I have two of these 10 round Vepr mags. Just looking at them, I think that they bond the polymer, grind down some ugly seams on the front and back, and then dip the mag in something like plastidip to clean up the finished product, but that's pure speculation on my part.

DresNightfire 39 Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 I am still waiting on the status of my 2 10-rounders that I sent back to due my reliability issue of not loading a full 10 rounds successfully. I will keep you updated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I will keep you updated. I was able to send the 10-rounders back in for an exchange since they come with a warranty (Legion is very responsive). Swapped out for an original 8-rounder and a 10-rounder. Will follow up with a functionality review of the 10-rounder once it arrives.

PapaZorro 401 Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Just info: Rubber coating (Dupont coating) 10 Round Mags are made by MolotArms not by Molot. These are two different companies, the first one use the production of the second one. Molot are going to start produce Original Molot 10 Round Mag only in the close future. It will be one piece mag as their 8 rounder, not glued two piece mag. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ec4321 113 Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 Awesome info PZ. Wouldn't have a clue about that unless you informed me. My presumption was they were Molot products. Would be interested in a single piece unit when it becomes available. However, the Molot Arms 10rds are great... very happy with them... certainly my go to mags for the vepr for now.

Glueing 2 8 round Molot Mag is a usual practice, one of my friends glued 3 mags to one , and he is not unique. In Germany it is possible to buy 15 Round mag made from two 8 Round. SCHULTZE posted thread how to make compound mag from Molot like above from Germany oneself. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DresNightfire 39 Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 BTW I have tested the 10 round molot arms magazine (dupont coating) while shooting clay a couple weeks ago and it functioned flawlessly with the LRBHO working 100% of the time. I even dropped the mag from hip height onto the ground and it still ran fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tactical_T 6 Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 I would consider buying a factory Molot 1-piece 10 round mag, but not one that was glued together. Not saying it would suck, but a Franken-Mag does not appeal to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
