I have a few straight Magpul 20’s I’ve acquired over the years. One was rescued from a restricted state and I removed the rivet, converting it back to it’s original capacity. I used a ranger band to cover the hole. Is there a more permanent fix or is this pretty much the best way to keep debris from entering the magazine? It’s just a range mag, so not a big deal as is, just curious if there’s another option.

Could do a dab of epoxy or silicone...

Just hot-glue a raccoon tail to it.

take a top cover of same color and plastic melt it shut file and media blast for texture
or mount a green laser inside zeroed at 50. with a pressure switch on the side which activates on inserting in magwell. mount battery below laser for easy replacement. |

Thanks for the replies. I took a closer look and the follower goes below the hole when loaded and the rear of the follower would drag on anything that protrudes into the mag body. I think the ranger band will have to suffice. Thanks again for the advice.

Or don’t worry about it. I’ve seen many floor plates with drain holes in them. On Lancer .308 mags there is actually a switch inside the mag, on the floor plate, that opens or blocks a drain hole. Just consider this a drain hole. You said it was a range mag anyway so why sweat it?

You said it was a range mag anyway so why sweat it? Yeah, I decided to just leave it as is. I started looking at how close the follower rides in the channel and figure doing anything to try and fill the hole will probably interfere with the follower, so the ranger band will remain as the solution to keep debris out. |
