I just picked up an NIB Saiga in .223 for $375. It came with one mag and I'm wondering what fits and what works?

SGM mags will work with no mods. Weigers and Beryls will work with a bullet guide  and minor mods to the mags. You might check out the Saiga forum for more info.

Beryl - black, the clear ones crack. My Saiga .223 runs reliably with Beryls (the front side lips must be reduced to fit) without a bullet guide thousands of rounds through with maybe a handful of ftf. In addition to reducing the front lips I also slightly reduced the tab at the rear of the magwell. Some people remove it. I found taking it about 50% was sufficient for the mags to lock in tight.
