S12 Magwell Mod

[DarthZed]

Has anyone done the JTE Magwell conversion for the Saiga-12? I've been looking at getting one installed on my gun. An internet search didn't turn up much in the way of negative remarks or problems; but I thought I'd throw this out to the forum and see if anyone had any opinions (positive or negative) about this conversion.

JT makes a quality product and the people using them do seem to like them. Heres the way I look at it: practicing with rock and lock can get you to be very fast...perhaps just a touch slower than the magwell, but still pretty damn fast. You also have to modify the mags to use in this and you can't use any drums. If you are shooting 3gun, then I can see how this would have some usefulness. Otherwise, I vote either saving money or spending it on drums and practicing.

I have a drum, but they really aren't practical (easier to carry two 10 round mags); so I'm not real concerned about losing the ability to run them. I've never liked the way you have to force the loaded mags into the S12, and the magwell conversion is supposed to make mag insertion easier (or so I've read). I figured I'd give it a try, if I don't like it, I can always remove it.

Are you sure the JTE is drum incompatible? I thought that was just the real magwells.

Magwells for competition, rock and lock for the rest of us.
