Saiga 10rd Foreign Magazines

[Texasred]

I have 2 Saigas in sporter configuration, I want to convert one to ban style but I kinda would like to keep one in stock format to hunt and to keep a less threatening appearance as maybe a trunk gun or something.

I was wondering if I bought imported magazines of 10 rd and filed them down to fit. Would this be more cost effective than buying standard Saiga 10rd magazines? Is this violation of the law?

Stick to factory mags. They will work.

2 10 rounder for 25 bucks. Can't beat that. They are good people, too.

Yes that is a good deal, thank you.

also, I believe you can get 5 rounders as well, and they are american made, or russian made. But either way it won't matter, as long as it is not a high cap, it doesn't add to the foreign made parts, any more than the factory 10 rounder they send with it. I have seen the 5 rounders at gunshows, and you may wanna ask over here;http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?http://forum.saiga-12.com/

If you cut your Saiga to accept non-Saiga-specific mags, you're in violation of the 922r.

It only has to be able to "accept" 11+ round magazines to be subject to 922r.
