the 223 vepr mags look like a good match...anyone know?

I cant really tell by that pic, but it looks like the mag doesnt have the little lip on it to act as the feed ramp (since the saiga doesnt have a feedramp built in to it). Also the little mag-catch lip looks too thick.

All in all, the vepr mag looks just like any regualr ak mag meaning that you would still need to do the same modifications (install a feed ramp, grind the mag catch) to get it to function properly in your saiga.
 
I am wondering if the Saiga rifles accept the regular AK mags?? They are so cheap if they take the AK mags I am going to buy one for sure.
 
The Saiga doesn't come equipped to take standard AK mags, but the modification to allow it to do so is quick, easy and cheap. You can do it yourself if you're a home handyman, or a gunsmith can do it for a few bucks.
 
No, it is not legal.

The rifle must have a certain number of american made parts (its 4 or 5, i think) before you can modify it to accept the hi-caps.

Although I dont think anyone has ever been prosecuted for breaking the import law (922?), I sure dont want to be the first to find out what the punishment will be!
