I am thinking M261 but only 99% confident. (yes I know they are the chairfoce mags)
Does that make it different than the std M261 or ?

Brief disctription is they are White 10rd mags with a feed ramp built in.



FOUND THE KIT WILL POST RANGE REPORT WHEN I BUILD AN UPPER FOR IT

I believe those are Air Force M261 Mags.

Air Force conversion.

ETA:  Will not work with Army 261 conversions - completely different magazines.

USAF conversion mags are the only conversion mags with a bolt hold open feature (In my experience the hold open feature does not work - others have reported cutting mag catch springs and/or stretching the mag springs in the white AF mags to get the bolt to hold open on the last shot.)

I can confirm that those mags go with the Air Force (aka Rodman) conversion kit, and will not work with the M261.

OK so where can I find a kit to work with this?

For two hard to find mags.. I would not bother... Get a standard Ceiner kit and the BDM mags and you will have a much more common kit that can us 30 rd mags vs 10 that you can buy as many as you want for a very good price....

Don't go by a Model T just cause you have two doors for one...

I actually like the Air Force units and mags.  But finding an Air Force unit will be difficult.  Watch the EE - that's where I found mine.  The mags feed well but they are now rather old and the nylon/plastic is getting brittle - several of my mags have developed cracks.

 Actually these things are super easy to load. I actually perfer them to my ceiner mags for just that reason.

BTW this thread is not a how should I abandon the mags. I just want the kit they work with.

 


Your right.. My apologies for attempting to steer you in a different direction.. good luck with your search.
