So I thought I'd share a quick thing with other owners.
As some owners are noticing that some of the magazines are hard to drop, I wondered if I could get a Magpul magazine pull onto the mags.
Of course 5.56/.223 is way too small, but maybe 7.62 would fit?
At first try, even 7.62 was slightly too small. The plate at the bottom of the magazine was just too large... but could I get the magpul to stretch?
After letting the magpul soak in super hot water for 5 minutes, and a bit of grip strength, it was no problem at all.
You might make it easier if you took a bench grinder and *carefully* removed some of the plastic around the baseplate... but at $45 per magazine, I'm not willing to mess with it.
Looking forward to see how others customize their 15SA!
