MD-20: 20 round drum magazine for Saiga-12 shotgun

MD Arms have just started shipping their new 20 round drum magazines for the Siaga 12 shotgun. They cost $215 (+ $3 handling fee).

It look like they have only made enough to satisfy pre-orders and are now taking pre-orders for the second batch.

    You would think they would make a drum with more than 20rd capacity considering 10rd magazines cost $50.

    Who would want a 20rd Drum when you can get 40rd’s of magazine capacity for the same cost?

    gyrfalcon, it is a limited market. They are being made in the USA not imported. There would not very much overseas demand. The initial design costs would be a big percentage of the cost.

    “…There would not very much overseas demand. The initial design costs would be a big percentage of the cost.”

    I don’t see any demand for a 20rd Drum with a $200 price tag unless you’re just dealing with full auto ammo eating folks who can’t take a moment to change 10rd mags.

    A better name for this contraption would be a “rolled magazine”. A drum of this size should hold at least 30 rounds.

    I think they are to big and have seen them jam alot, unlike my new wraithmaker 20 rounder that never jams and is almost an inch smaller around
