Yeah, I think I covered that:johann said:So from what I understand from over at saiga-12 is that some of the rear of the magwell needs to be ground away for the bulgarian mags to work?
When you see it, you'll see what needs to be removed.nalioth said:Bulgarian 5.56x45 waffles work great and only need the rear of the mag well cleaned up.
The Bulgarians will fit the .223 with out any mods to the rifledecodeddiesel said:Nalioth, in order to get my Bulgy waffle and my Polish Beryl mags to lock up in my .223 I had to grind a little off the tops of the mags...:neutral:...YMMV
Maybe they changed something in the front trunnion recently? My Saiga is brand spanking new.
My opinion: Don't grind anything until you fit it, and find it needs grinding.vjor said:The Bulgarians will fit the .223 with out any mods to the rifledecodeddiesel said:Nalioth, in order to get my Bulgy waffle and my Polish Beryl mags to lock up in my .223 I had to grind a little off the tops of the mags...:neutral:...YMMV

if you don't want too, just have to grind a little bet on the top
front of the mags as they are for AK74 mag well and the Saiga
have AKM mag well, the Saiga have bigger lugs.

I am not talking about deacts. Every magazine they have offered on that site (page) is meant to be used in a functional rifle(AK/Saiga/SVD/Tigr). I have bought just about every mag type they have offered and they function 100% in all of my rifles. RusMilitary is the only overseas company(Besides that guy in Poland that was selling the Beryl mags on GB) I do buisness with. The only deactivated mags I see on that site are with deactivated rifles. They say (....c-deact_magazines) in the page,but we all here know that isnt the case. They even call the furniture and accessories "deacts".nalioth said:Um, you don't want anything to do with deacts.NACHTJAGER said:There are always these..........

They've got their feed lips cut off and are useless as ammo feeding devices.
The collectors over in the UK collect them for their ink stamps and to go with their deact rifles.
