Awhile back I bought a bunch of really nice 20 round mags from Corwin Arms and I really like them... haven't seen those in a while but I'm hoping they come in a 5 round version... unfortunately all the stubby 5 rounders look like they're made out of that crappy pot metal - even the one I got from Springfield. Can any of you fellas help me out?
Does Anybody Make A Good 5 Round Mag For The M14?

I have a couple of 5 rounders that came with the gun when I bought it second hand. Couldn't tell you the make of the mags, but they have a parkerized finish, so not the ones you'd be looking for.
I have numerous 5/20 round magazines, and those are the only ones I use. The 5 rounders are a pain in the keester with the rock-and-lock mechanism. Not enough mag showing beneath the magwell the really grab onto. Not horrible to insert, but sucks balls to try and remove.
Stick with the 5/20 rounders. Save you a lot of cursing and swearing in the long run. Especially if you ever want to remove a mag in -20 wearing thick gloves.

Check the local gun shows and the Equipment Exchange here, usually some old Norinco ones can be found. We sell an end to end coupler which helps with the rocking the mag in and out issue, and will add an extra 5 rounds of ammo in close proximity.
