A poke to the Canadian businesses and dealers

[mrsmitty]

Zero issues with my 8 LAR mags loaded to 10 here. There were reports of an early batch with issues when loaded to 10. Don't remember the details (?spring tension) since mine work perfectly.

A possible contributing factor to my lack of problems is the carbine I stuff them into.

I don't think its the carbines that they are being stuffed into. Pretty sure its the mags.

You may have some from the early shipments that were problematic. Questar has a new shipment at $30 each in bulk if you want to try again.

Plastic couplers are $6 each. I only have experience with the aluminum ones.

I like plastic mags too,

but unless you're shooting prone off the mag the LAR15s have a lot to recommend for Canadian civilians assuming the mag/gun combo is reliable.

Hook 2 ten rounders together. Add a dust cover to the bottom mag - leave it empty. Tape the dust cover on. Tape the 2 mags together at the middle.

There you go.

And, to really accessorize the creation suggested by John above, pick up this cutting-edge handsfree device for your cellular phone:

It also incorporates many of the engineering principles John has laid out in his mag-taping suggestion.

Like this?

I made up my own last year with old non working bodies.

I like that

Good use of the tacpulls. Better than a dust cover.

How do they hold up if you shoot off them when you are prone?

Yes, and i have 3 of these coupled LAR's (total of 6 LAR15 mags).
However, problem is shooting prone on an outside range... crap (grass,mud,etc..) will get onto your bottom rounds and clog the feedlips.

The tactipul was only on for the photo. I use Magpuls on them. They've got 4 rivits in them so ther's very little play. They're great.

[Goonsquad]

why would that be?

they dont work in any good Mag pouches (fast mag,Tenspeed, etc etc)

I suppose you could always place an appropiate length spacer in the bottom of your mag pouch to work with your magazine.

Outside the box, rather than tacking onto the magazine, you could temporarily "shorten" the depth of the magazine pouch. Not all tacticool but it would likely work well.

Wood or styrofoam blocks can work for this. In my experience blocks usually mess with the retention system, or place the mags in the wrong part of the pouch for the retention to work. I second the OP that some kind of full size adapter/mega baseplate would be great.

I spent the winter hacking apart old mag bodies to build my own 'baseplates' similar to the post above.

It's not just about fitting in the pouches. In service rifle and many other shooting scenarios where you are required to shoot prone, the magazine acts as a mono pod and is quite helpful.
