Can anyone comment if they are riveted or welded with tab?


thanks much

Also, did I understand that the floor-plate are now welded?

A tab welded to the follower.

I have recently seen some M14 mags for sale with the floorplate welded to the mag box - so they can't be opened. Anyone know the story on that?

Cant be opened = can't be properly cleaned = not on my buying list.

Welds are to keep you from changing long mags to 20 rounds from 5. Any of that can be over come. I would suggest contacting P&D enterprises in Edmonton and see what they have. They HAD exellent mags.

I know what welds are.

I also know that the existing methods on the 18+ mags I've purchased commercially over the last 5 years have all been legally acceptable. All the welded base plates are preventing me from is properly cleaning mags.

I do not want to go defeating welds intended to keep people out of the magazines. I see great potential for that action to be legally compromising.

The current 'generation' of Norinco mags all seem to have welded base plates. Irritating.
