I love this forum and thought I would throw more &*^% on the wall and see what sticks. Thanks to all you guys for previously educating me. However The Saiga thing can be confusing. Did you know you could shoot a Saiga with your Saiga over in Mongolia? (sorry)

 

PART I

 

My rifle is an SGL24 762x39 Saiga Arsenal Izvesk Izmash Legion sporterized AK. Yah too much info but mostly required to really know what it is.

 

Being a little slow and not knowing about 15 round mags I bought 2 ea 10 round KVAR/Arsenal mags and zap they were installed. After the light went on I bought 2 ea SUREFIRE 15 rounders. NO WAY these would insert!! I observed the differences, did a little cutting/filing and now they go in just fine. The front tab was too big and was blocked out by the bullet guide (which a Saiga does not have, right?) Also the rear corner was too wide to slide in.

 

So tell me you have a "Saiga" and I have no clue what you have. SURFIRE told me that Arsenal jumped on the Saiga name bandwagon very late. So that may be the real source of my confusion. Otherwise you have EAA Saiga, RAA Saiga, WASR's, milsurp mags, factory mags and more.

 

PART II

 

Now I will buy some metal milsurp 15/30 pinned mags. I ASSUME they will fit my SGL.......... without any mods. Here's the question. When the LEO takes me to the Judge, will he love my mags? As in - what pin? they are 30 period - you could put bubble gum in there, or a stick and they are still 30. Reason + logic = 0 in NJ.

 

Dunky Shine to all.

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

This is the FIRST thing that popped into my head.

your post is kind of confusing.. but the mag thing is pretty simple..

 

Saiga magazine =/= AK47 magazine

 

different gun different magazine..

 

to get a Saiga to take AK47 magazines you must correctly install a bullet guide and file down the mag catch ever so slightly..

if you go slow enough you will reach a point where both Saiga and AK47 magazines can be used..

 

as far as I am aware your gun is a Saiga.. it has just been converted already...

Yes but how far is too far ?

And almiz basically what Glen said>>>>

SGL = reg ak mags

Yes understood. Thanks for the input. BUT:

When you buy an SGL they call it a Saiga.

When you read the SGL manual it is called a Saiga.

 

So sometimes a Saiga is not a Saiga.

where did Glenn say that?

SGL is saiga. It's just something they made up to differentiate it from unmodified saiga.

where did Glenn say that?

 

? Saiga magazine =/= AK47 magazine ?

 

Did I misunderstand u ?

I elaborated on what I thought u were trying to say....

I don't get what's so confusing, this was already explained in post #4. Your Saiga rifle is a Saiga rifle. Right now, it is not accepting magazines made for Saiga's because your rifle was modified to take standard AK mags. AK mags and Saiga mags are not the same thing, hence you rifle is not taking Saiga mags.

 

If I modify my Ruger SR9 to take Glock mags, it is still a Ruger but it will likely not take Ruger mags anymore.

Oh crap! Sorry dude!!! Got confused

Yes but how far is too far ?

 

You’ve got to be kidding me. I’ve been further even more decided to use even go need to do look more as anyone can. Can you really be far even as decided half as much to use go wish for that? My guess is that when one really been far even as decided once to use even go want, it is then that he has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like. It’s just common sense.

HAHA sorry I Cudnt help it

I know, don't worry I found it quite funny.

Oh crap! Sorry dude!!! Got confused

 

 

just remember...

 

if you see an AK with a bunch of wood furniture.. it is likely Glenn..

 

if you see an AK with more gear than your entire local police department attached.. it is likely me..
