| I have two .223 AK's that run on bulgy .223 mags so I have about 15 mags and was thinking about picking up a SAR3. However, I don't really want to buy the weiger mags if possible. Can the SAR3 be modified to reliably run on bulgy .223 mags? If so, what kind of work is involved? |

I have a bulgy .223 krink kit built up on a GT 1.0mm reciever and a 102 (.223) bulgy kit built up on a GT 1.0mm reciever...well that is not 100% true the 102 is being built right now so I don't have that one in hand yet. I want to use the SAR3 as a range beater, but don't want to have to buy all new mags if possible. |

Damn - you do have a problem. Guys with Krinks shouldn't complain about $50 worth of Weiger mags from Interordnance. I'll help you. Sell me your Krink cheap and I'll mail my SAR-3 and a small box of Weigers and East German bakelites to feed your new pair of SAR-3s! Next, I'll help you with that bad gas mileage problem on your Porsche.

Since the very straight .223 round is fussy about feed angle, mods that make a mag work in one may kill it for the other. Mags may be filed under the front of the feed lips to help rounds exit at a higher angle. Feedramps can also be used/changed; see Saiga conversion info in the Russian forum for good samples of this. But $15 Weigers are sooo easy. |
