faststang90 18 Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 any one making magazines that works on the 20 gauge. I ordered the metal one but I had to make it fit so I sold it. I have some 10 round plastic ones and I have 4 of them but only 2 work good. I have a few 5 round ones that work great but I just want more rounds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JonWienke 131 Posted April 30, 2016 Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 All mags have to be fitted to the gun, due to loose tolerances. Getting rid of a mag because it requires fitting is just stupid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
faststang90 18 Posted April 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 I had the 13 round ones and did not have to do any thing to them. they all worked good. they just broke. If I buy something new I should not have to work on it to make it work. I found they have some coming out in a few months so I guess I'll wait. every other gun I have I never had to work on it to make it work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Heartbreaker 1,085 Posted April 30, 2016 Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 (edited) The Russian weapons don't have very good tolerance consistency, you can't just expect perfection. I have to modify mags for my S12. It is not an AR15 level of manufacturing. "They all worked good. They just broke." Ummm....what? That is logically illogical.

JonWienke 131 Posted April 30, 2016 Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 Because of the tolerance variations in Saigas, custom fitting magazines to the gun is pretty much mandatory. Discarding a brand-new mag because it doesn't fit perfectly out of the box is totally idiotic on your part. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
faststang90 18 Posted May 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 they broke when I installed the slide fire. guess it was just to much of a shock. the part on the front side of the magazine that goes into the gun is what broke. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madjack 0 Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 Saiga 20 mags have always been hard to find. The batch from Carolina shooters were all duds and they should have been sued for selling faulty products. The ones from Mississpi auto worked awesome and the CSSpecs mags have worked decently Quote Link to post Share on other sites
saltydecimator 482 Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 Any available anywhere else?. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AcezHi 7 Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 (edited) From the CSSPECS website. There is a page to put your name on a list. I am checking back almost daily. I did buy a few 5 round 76mm mags at http://www.saigastock.com/buy-2-saiga-20ga-3-inch-2-rd-magazines-get-1-free-p-6749.html (buy 2 for $49.95 and get one free) to get me by. We expect this item to be avalible again in September of 2016. We expect this updated item to be lighter, stronger and more reliable.

csspecs 1,987 Posted September 29, 2016 Report Share Posted September 29, 2016 Oh I need to fix that.. The Vepr-54r took much longer than it was projected to. 20 gauge will likely be early next year or so. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
saiga20will 0 Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 Thank you azesHi that is the First time I have found a site with mags not sold out. Csspecs keep us informed would love to have some of those metal 10 rounders Quote Link to post Share on other sites
faststang90 18 Posted February 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 i found the problem when i got the gun i was told it used 2 3/4 shells and it came with 20x70 (2- 2 3/4) 5 round magazines. so i have been trying 2 3/4 shells. I looked at the gun and it has 20x76 on the gun so I have the wrong magazines. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
targetshooter77 0 Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 so is there any prognosis on when or if 20 ga mags will be available? thanks, Ron Quote Link to post Share on other sites
adam36 3 Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 I have been told the cspecs 10 rounders are sapose to be coming in at the beginning of the year. But it's almost April and still nothing as far as I know Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AcezHi 7 Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 March 13 got the following about the coming csspecs 10 rounders. Still a ways off.. But we are still intending on making them. I am also waiting for a few. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
faststang90 18 Posted May 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2020 this is why I sold it. I sold every thing I had and I think I had to pay 50.00 or 100.00 more for the new KS12. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deussdeuce 0 Posted January 18, 2021 Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 So it looks like this thread is kinda slow, but I have a question. I bought a 10 round cspec mag for a saiga 20 I picked up from a buddy for cheap. It didnt have a mag with it bought i was told you can find them online. Please keep in mind this was a couple of years ago. So the first ammo I bought was some remington target loads and they fit in the mag perfectly. Well I decided to order some NSI buchshot loads i found for a good price and when I tried to load them in the mag they wont fit. So I go back to cspecs website and I notice some fine print about variations in 20ga ammo and they recommend Remington ammo. I noticed that the high brass on the buckshot is where the extra length is coming from. So my questions are do they make a mag that isnt so round fussy and is this a normal problem with these mags. Do Remington buckshot and slugs fit in this mag or will I have the same problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
csspecs 1,987 Posted January 20, 2021 Report Share Posted January 20, 2021 A few things. First shells come in different lengths, you have 2 3/4" and 3", the 20ga saiga uses two lengths of magazine to handle this. Most common shells are 2 3/4 and you can get defensive and hunting grade buck and slugs in 2 3/4" so 3" are not super necessary. Then there are two styles of crimp, roll crimp which is longer, and star crimps or fold crimps which are more common. The length of the brass does not change the length of the shell.
