Yes. I used a flat face jewelers file to slowly remove material until it attained a solid lock up. Takes about 5 minutes to get it right. Not a big deal.
Wow, how about that. Seems everything needs a little work done anymore. I'm getting it but thought it was a simple lock it in and go. Which did you go with (black, smoke, or clear)? Besides the 20, they also make 10 and (11?) 12's too, I believe. Then there's the 30 (another mfg I think). Saw the YouTube of full auto using the 30 rounder. The expression on the guys face afterwards was priceless.Yes. I used a flat face jewelers file to slowly remove material until it attained a solid lock up. Takes about 5 minutes to get it right.

Right, I didn't think that it's because the drum. Good to hear that it doesn't take that much work also. But as the guy says in the video, be careful and don't take too much off.The reason the drum needs fitting is not the build quality of the drum, but because of the variations and loose tolerances of the Saigas themselves. MDArms builds them to be fitted to your gun. My drum needed a little fitting; took 5 minutes with an emery board. My stick mags didn't need fitting
I know it must be. I'll find out soon as I get one. I'm deciding between the smoke and clear. However, if it's the clear, I wouldn't want anyone ever seeing what's leftGet used to anything with an AK taking some "fitting". Lol!
I got the smoke it was what my gun shop had. Nice to be able to count shells.
20 rds in about 20 seconds is a Blast, or several...
Ahh! Well that makes sense and I must not have any . . lol. Thanks and it'll still be between the two.Business side is black. Translucent side is towards you. Will try to take a pic Later on.
I've been there some too, but haven't gone to all of the topics. Everywhere else that I've been, the owners like them . . . enough to buy um anyway. I got mine because of the so-called fear factor that they may not ship into the US any longer (evidently seems not to be the case now) and of course it'sAlthough I don't own a saiga, I have heard some negatives over at saiga forum.
With that said, they are selling Mac 11 uppers that seem to be the cat's meow. When he releases the M10 9mm version, I am seriously considering getting one.
I know this is only about half way thread related, but they have been prompt at answering questions and emails from my limited experience.
