SAIGA 12 GAUGE 10-ROUND MAGAZINE Reviews & Ratings

Lightweight, molded polymer magazine has reinforced steel feed lips to ensure reliable delivery of all 10 rounds to the chamber of your 12 gauge Saiga shotgun. Ideal for the three-gun competition shooter, with deep, “waffle” texturing on the outside for a secure grasp during high-speed mag changes. Extra length ensures that even when fully loaded there’s extra compressibility to the round stack so the magazine can be inserted with the bolt closed.

SPECS: Reinforced injection-molded polymer, black. 10-round capacity. Fits Saiga 12 gauge shotguns only.

Spring failure

I bought two of these as other magazines weren't available. The magazines had to be modified to fit the receiver (small common issue), but worked fine with numerous shells up to 3". This lasted for several range trips, until the follower failed to do it's job. After taking apart the mags, the internal spring had fallen apart in several pieces. I would suggest a better quality magazine than these.

Needs improvement

I bought two of these and fitting them was not a prob but after about 100 rounds shot the spring in one just snapped in two places. I put it back together with ducktape and it works but not reliable anymore. other mag has done great though

Shells jamming

The inside shell feeder, part that pushes the shells up, sticks inside while feeding and the shells jams on the inside end of the barrel (AK-12 shotgun). My investigation has found that the inside piece stops it's sliding, free flow no spring, at the top where it looks like part of the form molding was made. I'm going to file this inside area to see if it helps.
