ar 15 mag question

[Redtbird]

I have an MTM rest, Backwards it clears the 30 round mag.

O.M.G.!!! ^^^^^^^^^^^

Thanks for this! I never thought of turning my MTM rest around when shooting my AR with 20-round mags.

Obviously shooting for the big 5-0! (But not likely to get there with this kind of "quality" post.)

It was a joke but anyway, ive newer seen mags with a weird capacity like that. If you need an 8 rounder you can go to new york though!

A 20 doesn't stick out that far.

Why not custom build your own magazines? Take any 20 or 30 rounder, and trim it from the bottom up, bending your own little tabs to hold the base plate open. Over at arfcom, there was a subject of NY, who made his own 7 round mags this way.

If you need 10+1, then just use 10round mags, and top them off after you chamber a round. Or, manually insert the first round, close the bolt, and insert the mag.

Yeah... why not just go 10+1 ??

I used to know a guy with a machine shop in his garage that could probably cut a 20 down to any length you wanted, Re-bend the mag bottom, cut the spring and replace the floor plate further up.

Unfortunately he and all his equipment just moved to cali. But that is the only thing I can think of.

You know anyone with a machine shop and a brake? It really should not be that hard.

Notice I did NOT say that cheap. He would have charge you "200-500" bones for it. But that would have included modeling, CNC programing, and labor.
