So what's the deal here? I thought it was illegal to use magazines of more than 10-rd capacity without legally altering the weapon by adding several US-made parts.
But, I'm seeing 30-rd mags from Surefire and Pro-mag, that are designed to fit factory-original Saigas, that haven't had any other midifications.
Also, (this is the one that really throws me) I was just looking at an ad in a statewide classified site, and a guy selling a stock saiga is including a 30-rd magazine, that comes in packaging that says: "Saiga rifle mag/ 30-rd hi-cap/ E. Euro steel mags modified in USA."
I know lots of folks want their Saigas to be as visually close to an standard AK as possible, and this is part of the incentive to do the conversion, but as i always understood, the primary reason for doing the conversion was to keep the rifle legal, and in conformity to usc922r, which required the substitution of foreign-made parts for US-made parts.
So how are any of these mags legal (especially that converted East Bloc steel 30-rounder) ?
