    2016 SHOT Show: New one-hand duckbill mag for the SKS - one which could perform well

    Stopped by the Archangel booth, and saw a new product which is just coming off the assembly line.

    Everyone who has an SKS has tried the duckbill mags, and they can be a bit of a pain to remove with the factory mag release. Archangel came up with what I would describe as a genuinely clever design. They've added a metal lever on the mag, and this lever, actuated by the shooter's thumb, pushes back on the factory mag release. Apparently there are a few importers in Canada which are just anxiously waiting to get their hands on this one.

    That looks sweet!
    Gun control must have failed in the UK.
    Why else would they try to ban kitchen knives?
    It's too bad you can't fix stupid.

    Interesting how its one the mag ... might be a PITA, but no modification needed, is nice.

    That's a brilliant idea.

    It's one of those things where everyone looks at it and says; "Why didn't I think of that."

    Any word on that M1A stock that Springfield is putting on their new Socom? Looks like they make it...

    Hmm....looks like a pistol mag to me.

    On a serious note, would be nice to have a dedicated 5 for use here in Canada. Hate the look of 5/30 on the CZ/VZ. Actually...just the "5" part.

    Problem- putting them in a chest rig, if you run mags upside down in one they wouldn't work, they'd get stuck when you try and pull it out. Guess you could just put them bottom side in the pouch
