Could someone do me a favor, and measure how far down the rivet needs to be (as in how far down to the center of the hole I'll need to drill for the rivet) for a functional 5 round mag? I'd still like to repin mine, but will need to know where to pin them. Thanks!
When I get home, I'll try to.
Thanks Dook!
One effective method of limiting any box magazine is exactly as described above, with a pin, rod or fin attached to the bottom of the follower. The box does not have any rivet heads sticking out and potentially blocking a tight magazine well, or weld spots as thoroughly discussed (disgusted?) previously.
Jean Charest after coming a distant second to Pierre Poilievre. “You deserve a clean slate and the opportunity to unite the membership. ... Only Liberals benefit from a divided (Conservative Party).” Will the malcontents listen?
OK, measuring from the top of the block, not top of mag is 1 7/8" to center of the rivet. Stock m14 mag. ( or 47.5mm )
Hope that helps.
Thanks! I'll get myself a rivet set this week and try it.. Fingers crossed! Having to go from 5 to 4 to use the mags is a big deal when your only starting with 5 to begin with! (and spending another $300+ on mags is just dumb..lol)
Wow I'm behind on this one....May 2014....I can't remember what make they are. Fit is excellent, no issues. Only issue I ever had was some fail to feeds. Last time I striped the rifle down I found the op rod spring guide wasn't pined in the proper spot. Put it together the right way and works flawlessly..... (spring guide install was a fail on my part the last time I cleaned it, easy mistake)
Well, an update. I picked up a mastercrappy cheapo hand riveter today. Spent some time this eve installing rivets at 47mm (I found that I could get a 6th round into the mag at 47.5mm, not that it would function that way...). I had to drill out the pressed stops. So now my half price mags all function with 5 rounds in them, even inserting them into the rifle on a closed bolt. I am a happy man! Its pretty obvious what I did to the mags. 3 fairly large holes in the mags, and a rivet. Oh well, a little ugly, but works far better now. Many thanks Dook, for measuring that up for me!
No problem Brother. Glad it worked out for you.
