Carrying Saiga-12 magazines


Recommended Posts

Hey everyone

I was just wondering how you guys carry your Saiga mags on your LBE or LBV.

I use the a Pistol Belt, with the old Y alice style harness and 4 M16 30 round magazines, with the straps cut out. They will hold 2 Saiga 12, 5 round mags in each pouch the long way. I also carry a butt pouch and two 1 qaurt canteens and carriers.When the mags are empty you can use the butt pouch as a dump pouch, because you dont want to lose Saiga-12mags!!!!!

I would think any mag carrier made to hold .308 battle rifle (ie HK91, FAL, M14) magazines would hold an equal number of Saiga-12 mags just fine, as they appear to be pretty close in size.

 

Personally, I plan to Mag-Cinch a couple of mags together in the gun, and have add a buttstock mag pouch to hold one more. This would be a great setup for 3-gun matches, IMHO, with 2 mags of 00 buck and 1 mag of slugs for "select slug" stages.

I carry for 5rd mags in a SAW pouch, and the 8rd mags are carried in a 4 cell Romanian 40rd AK mag pouch. They need pulls on them to get them out easier. In 3 gun I can reload 5 or 8 round quicker than even the best guys can reload 4. :super:

It is legal for dealers to have them. I am waiting on my gun with the pistol grip and side folding stock to get here as we speak. I am actually considering having a select fire version made when my SOT gets gets here as an LEO sample. THAT one I would take on deployment with me! :super:
