Shame TM will screw it up and there won't be any mags in stock for years (like the AKM).

But I will say I do really like the look of this. I think I'd want a drum mag though.

Theres always mags, you just need to know where to look.

I picked up 4 TM mp5 mags in Osaka in March just walking into a shop. There's so many shops that stock TM stuff IN Japan, that finding things is easy. And as it's easy in Japan, this equates to TM going, "It's OK"

But you can't get on a lot of Japanese websites any more due to law changes. 

Liz truss devalued the pound and made buying from Japan a lot more expensive. 

And a flight to osaka, (it's something I'm really wanting to do) to buy 4 tm mags is not really within everyone's grasp. 

I bought one of the first TM AKMs that arrived in the UK and was stuck with a genuinely good gun that I couldn't get mags for without losing a kidney. One retailer was asking, and getting, 100 quid per mag.

I remember that. I waited until I saw some in stock for a reasonable price on fire support and bought 5 immediately (my friend bought 5 as well, so between us we bought like... half their stock from that wave of mags).

I probably will hold off on the saiga though. I don't do much CQB, so it wouldn't be used that much and it's probably going to end up being about £650 here (could even be £700) looking at the Japanese price, with mags at between £50 - £60 each. That's a lot to spend on a gun I might use a few times.
