| Does anyone make good 40rd mags for a M1A1? |
| No.....Might be a little long though. IIRC there are some extended mags that were made up from welding two GI 20rd bodies together, I don't know if they held 40 but probably less. There is also some evidence that a 75rd drum was produced in a very small quantity pre 1994, a modified MG15 drum was mated to a feed tower that would fit into an M14. |
| There are 30's... not the crappy blued pieces of junk that you find at the funshows, but somebody was making GI spec 30rd bodies with welded on rear lug/tab, parked, with a powerful spring to boot. Silly me, I only bought one of these things... works great! It may be a tad long and somewhat heavy, but for rapid fire she's a doozy. |
Sounds like what I'm looking for. Who? Where? |
GREAT SCOTT!! I have to see this! Any more info on the 75 round drum? edit/ Beta C-MAG created these monsters! I want of of these for shits and giggles - only the are 2006 production |
I think gunbroker, or auction arms, but caveat emptor or whatever... there was only one guy selling them at the time and now there's a mass of 'em. For the record mine is a very light gray park, a shade or two lighter than early Colt AR15 park. His add, if he's still around, shows a picture of the rear lug which is almost identical to USGI (size wise it's dead on). I'll get a pic up soon of this thing when I find it amongst me mess. Here we go... side by side: 30rd & BRWs1 20rd.  hiney & lock plates: (phone not for sale)   20 mounted in rifle:  30 mounted in rifle:  one more for glory:  them's it...

Thanks for the info!! looks great! No it is not to be used in the prone position, but was that not why the M1 Grannd did not use a box mag. everyone knew it was useless. |
