10 Round Magazines

funny that the 10/30 round mags are not approved for .223 but the 10/32 round ones for 9mm are all good

The 10/32, 9mm is a pistol mag ... 10 round .... That's why.

The LAR15 "PISTOL" mags are allowed 10 rounds because they are made for a PISTOL AR15. The LAR. Yes? :D

AR15 mags were made for an AR15 "RIFLE", and so, 5 rounds allowed. ;)

"You're sooo good lookin". :wave: Ciao.

i know that... so design a 10 round mag for the LAR that looks like a 30 rounder, which they did and it didnt get approved, but 10 round 9mm mags that are designed for pistol and look like 32 round mags are fine

see what i was getting at now?
 
Cool, but there's no indication from Mark in this thread that Questar submited a completely new design that was rejected. He just states that one of their first prototypes was rejected. That could have been a conventional AR mag pinned to 10 rounds. I can see that would be a big NO from the RCMP. That would set a precedent and everybody would be pinning every AR mag to 10.

Maybe Mark can chime in here. I'd like to know if their prototype was a completely different design and specifically labelled mag for the LAR15. ... and just so happens to fit AR15s.

...and Beater, nice try, :) For some reason, I don't think that would float.

Regards.

I'm sure I read on here somewhere that the AIA mags wouldn't work right or something in the M14:confused:

But I may be wrong...in fact I kinda hope I am ;)

I wonder if a sleeker solution might be to epoxy the two mags, I suspect it would look fairly seemless from a distance.

One might make the argument that by epoxying them together you're effectively manufacturing a new magazine that is able to hold more than 10 rounds, making it a prohibited device.
 
It would also make spring maintenance, and cleaning difficult.
One could fashion a sleeve that both magazines would slip into, locking them together at the base. You could then remove them when you wanted to.
Make it tight so you might even have to heat it up a little to release.

Nope, this is why mag binders are legal. It's still two separate magazines, even if the modification is somewhat permanent. I have an idea to rivet two floor plates together with a metal spacer in between when I get around to ordering some of those LAR mags.
 
Hi guys

There is a new Lar-15 mag coupler out there! It couples two of the Lar-15 mag together to give it the blocked 30rds look. Go to " Black and green rifles" and click on "Lar-15 coupler." Check out the pic, thanks.

I have heard while they "go in" the mag well of an M14 they don't actually "click" into the mag well like an M14 magazine does. They are more "wedged in" than anything else. I would actually like to see someone cycle 10 rounds through their M14 with an AIA magazine without it not falling to the ground or misfeading before the 10th round was deployed. Seems the only way to by AIA mags is attached to an $800.00 AIA Enfield rifle right now and that would be a lot of money to spend just to have it not work properly.

They work fine, I've shot hundreds of rounds without a hitch through my 3 mags. Good luck finding the mags though.
