I am (still) preparing to do my pistol grip saiga conversion, and have a major decision to make: What mags to use. My Saiga is in .223, hence the problem. sure, 7.62 mags are a dime a dozen, so the mag conversion makes sense, but the only .223 mags I have found at all are old norinco models that cost $30 anyway, so if I can get 30 rd Saiga mags from EAA, why should I do the feed ramp thingy?
I know my options are to convert 5.45 mags to .223 with new folowers but with 5,35 mags costing $15 and then the followers costing a few bucks, and then they are that ugly yellow/brown color. doesnt seem worth it.
Galil mage I have heard work with the conversion, but they fit loosly and rattle around.
Right now I am leaning toward just sticking with saiga mags and my one norinco mag (that works without the feed ramp mod).
Tell me what y'all do.
