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.

Hi, welcome to my blog! This blog is dedicated to all things firearms related. I hope you enjoy it.
I’m thinking about buying a Saiga-12 Shotgun next year to ad to my collection.
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.
gyrfalcon, You don’t get out much do you!
