imschur Posted January 10, 2012 Report Posted January 10, 2012 If enough people show their support for the need of the AR-10 to be compatible with Magpul PMAGS I will forward the info to Uncle Armalite. Sound off! <munch>
Robocop1051 Posted January 10, 2012 Report Posted January 10, 2012 At the very least, maybe it'll inspire Armalite to build a polymer mag.
mrraley Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 Might want to read the new catalog realllll closely.
imschur Posted January 11, 2012 Author Report Posted January 11, 2012 Might want to read the new catalog realllll closely.Your spoiling my fun <laughs>
Retired JM Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 Having a Magpul or TangoDown mag for the AR10 would rock! Especially if they bring it in at the same price point as the KAC-pattern .308 mags.
RayGun19 Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 As I don't have the new catalog, anyone care to elaborate?
RayGun19 Posted January 11, 2012 Report Posted January 11, 2012 On the cover, but no where inside. WTF? I don't know. I think I'll stick with what I have. It would be nice. I mean, I'd just buy a lower and change my stuff over. But then I've got a lower an 11 magazines with no home.
98Z5V Posted January 12, 2012 Report Posted January 12, 2012 I mean, I'd just buy a lower and change my stuff over. That won't work.
RayGun19 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Posted January 12, 2012 There is that much of a difference between how one magazine feeds and the other?
Retired JM Posted January 12, 2012 Report Posted January 12, 2012 It's not so much how they feed, it's mainly due to the price of a pmag in comparison to that of an Armalite OEM mag.
imschur Posted January 12, 2012 Author Report Posted January 12, 2012 guys read the tech note in the other thread. It spells out everything
pdc Posted January 23, 2012 Report Posted January 23, 2012 Man! And I just finished building a Mega MA-10. I even contacted Armalite a year and a half ago about producing a more affordable mag. I'd have bought one of these if they'd existed when I was in the market. I was fun and educational to build though.
mineralman55 Posted April 19, 2012 Report Posted April 19, 2012 All along Armalite has said the AR10 magazines are "modified" M14 magazines. Exactly how are they modified? What is done to them to make them fit an AR10?
Robocop1051 Posted April 19, 2012 Report Posted April 19, 2012 Cut a slot for the magazine catch.Cut back the feed lips a bit.Get an AR10 follower.Modify the top of the mag spring to match the follower.Once you convert to AR10, you cannot convert back to M1A/M14
Retired JM Posted April 20, 2012 Report Posted April 20, 2012 The follower in the mag has been modified to allow the BCG to hold open after the last shot in the mag has been fired. Also an opening has been cut into the right side of the mag to allow the magazine catch to engage the magazine.
