It seems like there are 30rd mags for EVERY OTHER system out there, including the VZ-22...



Has anyone tried any of these to see if they fit the DPMS unit?



I'm thinking the VZ mags *might* because the 2 kits look very similar...



10rds is just too SMALL...

My understanding is that the DPMS is similar to the Colt. Not enough demand for
making aftermarket mags. Some one posted a while back that they had modified
one of the Black Dog Mags to work with a Colt.
Good Luck,

Mags for the Colt/DPMS are reportedly a back burner project at BDM.

Way Back Burner. Kevin can't justify the investment for the numbers he would sell.

VZ will not work.  I have both and the VZ-22 mag will not work.  The DPMS/Colt mags have the ejector on the left feed lip of the mag.  I think that's what makes it hard to duplicate.  

The conversion unit can be modded (machining required) to accept the BDM Ciener mags but the mag has to have a ejector rigged up too.  Someone posted a modded unit and mag a while back.  Colt/DPMS modification to use BDM magsYMMV

BDM may have the Colt/DPMS mags out this fall:  BDM post on Colt/DPMS mags  Sadly - I can't order the hi-caps.

Funny thing is - he is working on a metal feed lip .22 AR mag.  Depending on how he does that, it may lend itself well to the creation of a metal feed lip insert that will have an ejector built in just like the DPMS mags.

Just an FYI for those with DPMS kits - it is possible to convert a Ciener bolt to work in a DPMS upper and some here have done that - maybe not the ideal solution as it would probably end up costing another $150-200, but better than nothing if you want hi-cap capability.
