We can differentiate Saiga 12 magazines by their material, size & capacity.

By Material:

• Polymer Magazines: Saiga 12 gauge polymer mags are constructed to ensure a long service life. The spring is made from heat-treated Chrome-silicon wire for maximum reliability and smooth feeding.
• Polymer Body with Steel Reinforcements: These mags combine the lightweight polymer with steel-reinforced feed lips and locking lugs for added durability.

By Size (Shell Length Compatibility):

• 2¾-inch Shell Magazines: The 2¾-inch shell is the most common and widely used 12-gauge shotgun shell. Magazines designed for 2¾-inch shells typically offer more rounds.
• 3-inch Shell Magazines: 3-inch shells are longer and more powerful. Because of its longer size, 3-inch shells take up more space & have lower rounds count.
