Yeah who cares buy stuff that's not what you want and alter it to work. The picture of the couplers on the website is with flat bottom mags. Damn right if I order couplers and mags pictured one way and when I get them they don't work as advertised I'd be pissed. What would you do if you bought a new car and the doors didn't close right without modification?
+1 on flipping it. that looks off

Sorry, is firesout your buddy? You should read his post before you comment about mine...and btw, I was a door fitter at Chrysler for 3 years, it would take me about 2 minutes to adjust 4 doors, the hood and liftgate on a minivan...slightly longer on any other vehicle...lol
In regards to using a black tape to hold the reversed mag coupler, in a minute I thought it was okay, but then again I thought it looks kinda ghetto too. I am a bit turned off with the thought of taping magazines to make it look better. That is just my personal preference. I was going to order a bunch of these mags, but after I realized that they are with angled bottom I changed my mind. I don't know why they company who make them thought that we want angled bottom instead of flat straight.
I went through the same process a short while ago and this thread as well. I've tried it both ways with lining up the coupler backwards to give it a more straighter PMAG style vs installing it the correct way which gives more of a AK banana clip style with the angled bottoms. In the end I decided to go with the banana clip style for 2 reasons; it installs the correct way so the set screw keeps the coupler nice and tight (vs. if you install backwards you can't use the set screw so it remains loose and requires heat shrink, tape, etc to keep it together). Second, with it installed this way I can get just enough clearance to use the clips for 10+10 rounds while shooting on a bench rest (difficult to do if the clips were straight/longer).
When I originally saw the pics on this thread I agreed it looked a bit strange with it angled but after installing it on the XCR it doesn't really look all that bad IMHO. To each his own I guess...

I didn't use tape, I used electronic shrink tube. There is no sticky stuff or a seam.

LOL...good idea that would work. Now I can have one of each style
Just to be clear these 10 round LAR-15 mags are totally legal to run in my Colt AR-15 with 10 rounds in them....I am sure this has been asked before so please don't flame me out....Just want a answer on the legalities of this before I buy a few....THANKS!!!

That actually looks good, AWOL. Care to share the step by step for people who is not that handy?
It's easier to do than it is to explain but I'll do my best...
Get 2 LAR Mags and connect them together with the wedge shaped coupler on backwards. Remove the little screw from the coupler. Cut a small strip of metal from the bottom of a soup can or metal duct scrap. It needs to be as wide as possible while still fitting in the slot of the mag. It needs to be long enough to span between the 2 coupled mags. Put a small hole in the middle. Now the tricky part: slide the metal strip into the small slot on one magazine & then push flush against the coupler and slide it up under the other mag so that it is spanning both mags with the hole in the center in front of the threaded hole in the coupler and put the screw back in.
Maybe if more ppl like me voiced there opinion on ppl eating up threads with complaining they would start to realize how ungrateful and constantly I satisfied they sound.
Not mention there was a suggestion for a simple fix yet ppl still complain.
The simple fix was flipping the coupler around. A simple fix for whining customers is better investigate your purchases instead of impulse buying everything because e wry one else has one.
The mags work fine I own many of them including the the grey ones I picked up 3 years ago.
Let look at it this way. They look a hell mod a lot more intimidating curved than a hardly noticeable 5 rounder
