looking for saiga 20 gauge accessories

[willis20]

I recently bought a saiga 20 gauge and this five round clip is weak. The 12 gauge has a ten round clip and a drum... does anyone know where(or who)might be able to find one. I heard about one through my old man, but he couldnt remeber the site where he found it.

Mississippi Auto Arms. Google them, they have the best selection of Saiga accessories I have found and they ship fast.

The 20 is not as prevalent as the 12... not a ton of stuff for them.

centerfire systems also has some neat stuff.

thanks... will try it out. The 12 guage is next on my list. the 20 gauge fell in my lap 4 dirt cheap. couldnt pass it up.

Yeah the 20's can be found for a bit cheaper..

Still fun to own.

The 10 and 12 round magazines are crap. The feed angle is so steep that dented brass is often the result.

Stick to the 5 rounders, and learn to reload quicker. What's "weak" is when your shotgun jams up because you wanted to play Rambo and have a giant magazine.

Wow, you've got a clip-fed Saiga? I bet those things are bulky as all hell.

I have several APG ten rounders that run great. I know many people that run them sans problem as well.

Does Saiga make a semi-auto in 20 gauge?

Too funny! My Saiga 20 is an out-of-the-box, single shot, semi-auto too!

I've use AKs before and I was very impressed with their reliability, so I thought that a shotgun built on a similar action might be as reliable too. I couldn't believe that a gun dealer would sell me a brand new semi-auto for $200 (Summer of 2003) and now I know why!

In all fairness, the Saiga 20 is a different animal than its big brother in 12 gauge. I'm a tinkerer and it's working better even though I'm plodding through it, but from my experience so far this will be a work-in-progress for some time...:banghead:

ALL the Saigas are built on the same fixtures EXCEPT the 12 gauge.

The 12 gauge is different in many areas, while all the other Saigas are (aside from chambering-related differences) compatible with any standard Kalashnikov accessory.
