Attention Saiga12 owners!
High quality & reliable steel mags, that are 'Made In The USA' for the S-12 are a reality.
Manufactured by CSSPECS, http://stores.csspecs.com/
Saiga 12g, 8rd, steel magazine, http://stores.csspecs.com/saiga-12-gauge/
I've waited a long time to see reliable steel mags... Heck, any steel mags, for the S12 to become a reality. Well, here is my reality slap!
I now have six of these mags and let me sing their praises to you.
They are fantastic, from the fit, finish & function, to the aesthetics.
Lets unwrap one.
They are well packaged, paper wrapper around a plastic bag, the mag within wrapped in a anti-corrosion paper an lightly oiled.
This is what CSSPECS has to say about their product.
Some pics showing the robust construction of these mags.
The Black Nitride finish is very tough.
When fitting the mag to the gun, just getting through the finish takes several swipes of the file.
Fitting if needed, is very easy and is done on the rear lug. Five minutes is all it took me to fit each mag.
The only Con I could find on these is the rib on the back.
It is very pronounced an can bite into the webbing of your hand during mag changes.
A strip of automotive door trim solves this issue.
2.75" Buck & Slugs
3" Magnum Buck.

Long awaited stamped steel magazine for saiga 12 shotgun.
Magazine is all metal. Extra thick welded feed lips for long service life.
Finish is black nitride on magazine body, floor plate and spring guide.
Finish of follower is black oxide.
Magazine can be loaded with 9 shells on an open bolt. Or 8 rounds on a closed bolt.
Magazine is made for both 2 3/4" & 3" shells.
Some of the longer roll crimped 3" may not be compatible.
Magazine is slightly smaller than a 40 round AK magazine,
and could be compatible with web gear for RPKs.
Follower and feedlip assembly is not compatible
with factory LRBHO mechinisims.
And we have no information about function/alteration with magwells.
We are working on a fix for this for future batches.
Fitting is highly likely. Expect to file these to fit your shotgun.
