Any info on Saiga .308 magazine conversions?

Vintovki · 01-13-2007, 06:43 PM

I just received a SAIGA .308 with a 16.3"bbl, it came with one 8 round magazine. Can anyone direct me to any info that will show me the best way to convert another magazine to fit the Saiga. I've seen that the M-14 is a decent fit but will the G-3 or FAL mags work? perhaps others? I have access to a machine shop and welding equipment. Thanks

There are now 20rd polymer mags out for the S-308.

I developed a G3 mag conversion for it a while back.

BRG3,
I too would like to see some pics and or drawings of your conversion. The G3 mags are very affordable and durable. How did they feed and fit in your SAIGA? TIA
