Thor's Hammer 33 Posted December 26, 2013 Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 (edited) I did the math. I need to swap in one more US made part for my folder to be legal. I pitched the product to a short run shop and and got a quote of $15ea, in black, shipped. This post is made solely to guage the consumer interest for an initial run. No frills. Just a plain-jane mag baseplate to fit the Molot magwell-style mags. Anyways, it is a simple to install 922r compliance part that for the life of me I can't find for sale anywhere. I plan to keep the factory handguards, grip, rear stock, AND use Molot mags. Unfortunately, that puts my count at 11 even with my US made GK-01 muzzle brake. Maybe for those of you that have the quad rail handguards or a US grip, this could give you the option to use a genuine GK-01, or whatever. I'm not looking at selling these. I just presented the idea to a fabricator to save myself the time and trouble of making them myself and maybe help some others out. PS: I think these could possibly fit the 030 Saiga if made with a larger retainer hole. Edited December 26, 2013 by Thor's Hammer Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HighPlainsDrifter 466 Posted December 26, 2013 Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 Molot not so much, but I'd be all over base plates for Izzy magwell mags. I believe they are the same as the rock-n-locks but I cannot confirm. I'd need around ten of them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hdskumm 39 Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 I would buy some if they were 5 a piece max. I'd make my own with a dremel before I payed 15 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Billybobf 50 Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 I would buy some if they were 5 a piece max. I'd make my own with a dremel before I payed 15 agreed, I dont need any, but if they are the same as my izzy mags and could be made from a flat sheet of any material, be it plastic, steel, aluminum, polycarbonate. on softer material, you could probably drill the hole in it and have a router with a guide plate that bolts down and knock out cool polycarb ones in less then a minute a peice, material would probably be less then a dollar a peice, to make simple math, sell 60 of them for $10 each, thats $50 an hour, I guess that is about right tho, lol. but 50 an hour with a home made guide and a router table sounds like good money.... maybe I need to start selling US made baseplates out of polycarb?

Thor's Hammer 33 Posted December 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 Thanks for the feedback. Hopefully the guy will move forward on an initial run. I'm with people on keeping prices down. But I would have to say that $5ea shipped would be unrealistic. Shipping and materials alone would likely exceed that amount.

Billybobf 50 Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 I guess for me I just think of CTD (I know there are hard feelings towards them!) but they have 5rd pro mags for 15 each or 10 rd for 20 each, Mod them for mag well an have extra mags, keep them factory ones for later, or in your case swap followers and have two mags for price of one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HighPlainsDrifter 466 Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 I've been waiting to chime in again until I follow up but I will be contacting a fellow local member who makes aluminum base plates for Izzy rock-n-locks and sells them for $6. My idea is to get together and see if they work for police mags. If so, it might be promising that they'll also work in molot mags. This is all speculation but I'll post back if and when he returns my pm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vette447 11 Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 I would be in for some if they were of the same quality as the Molot mag parts Quote Link to post Share on other sites
