That's a rivet to limit the capacity to 10 rounds...I have one somewhere, and offered it to someone in a ban state awhile back, but haven't been able to find the damn thing. Mine's a Colt. Definitely civilian, but factory from what I understand. 1994 BS...
BTW - I doubt the .223 marked floorplate was original to that body. It's too late for such a floorplate. |

So you think it should be 5.56? Funny thing, this came in a box of different mags that came straight from the National Guard. One wouldn't think there would be any civilian mags there. |

You're confusing me. Sounds like you think that only civie mags were marked .223? I think with your mag being a "circle 1" that makes it early enough to carry a floorplate marked .223. I have several circle1 mags and they are all florrplated .223. 5.56 didn't come along until about '64 I blieve. |

I agree with Lou. The floorplate and mag is an early one, so the question arises as to how/why the magazine was modified. Quoted:

Morg........"it's too late for such a floorplate". It's a circle 1 magazine. That would be plenty early for that floorplate, no? I agree with Lou. The floorplate and mag is an early one, so the question arises as to how/why the magazine was modified. how/why? hmmm.......no idea with certainty. You say it came straight from the NG. I don't know why the NG would have modified it to reduce capacity. Seems that would have only been done by a civie, but you don't really know where all that mag may have been. Years ago, I bought a few original AR10 waffle mags. All of them had a rivet to reduce to 10 rounds. Bummed me out. |
