They pop up every now and then in the EE. You can call KVAR and ask if they have any left or try gunbroker.

Is it now? While I'll agree paying $25 for a 5 or 10 round mag seems silly.hey_hi_its_me_vlad said:
However, RUINING a perfectly good 30 forever for the sake of making a low cap mag to hunt with or to use at the range seems utterly idiotic.
It's like cutting off your nose to spite your face.
Besides, that's one less 30rnd. mag for the rest of us.
Let saiga keep thier expensive mags. Keep checking gunbroker, the trader forum here, gun shows, gun shops, pawn shops... etc.

The expensive Russian 10-rounders *are* a waste of money, but they are pretty dang nice. It's neat to have the modern Izhmash logo on the bottom and they are built to last forever. It's about all I ever use for 74 bench shooting.
KVAR has them now and again, and they sell out quick.

Well rest assured you wont have to cut the spring or anything. I took apart my 10rnd mag that came with my sgl31 to see how big the spring was, and almost couldnt get it back together.

I didnt compare them side by side but I am 99% sure they do... Ive taken apart every magazine I own to clean them and put in US followers, so Ive seen the springs a few timeskoldwarkid said:

waiting for that VERY momentayfkm said:
As tough as epoxies and resins are, in order to make a sure seal you'd need to weld/melt the mag plastic together. Weld-on can do that, as a few other brands Ive used in the plastics industry. But if you can find a way to keep the molecular integrity whole, then go for that, in which case, finding a way not to glue anything, is preferred.

I deal with the plastic too, that is why I wanted to buy a low cap magazine and not glue the 30 rds mags.Remy1492 said:waiting for that VERY momentayfkm said:
