PE90 Magazine - Aftermarket?

[imagine_74714]

Like the title suggest, is there any alternative magazine available, other than the factory translucent ones? Perhaps, steel or aluminum one? And if there is, then who manufacture/sell them?

 

[Armament]

Only sig mags work. That is why some were hoping for the 556 lower that took ar mags.

I have been told that a slightly modded AK 223 mag will work. But these will not hold the bolt open if that matters.

Tried modding a .223 AK Norinco mag, Galil orlite mag and also tried modding a bakelite AK74 mag as well. All I managed to do is destroy 3 mags... stick with the factory mags.

 

[CanAm]

Anyone know what polymer compound these for the SIG mags?

SIG 540 works fine

The mags for PE90 are bigger in dimension than, say, AR15 mags, right? So, mag pouches we see being sold isn't gonna hold them in numbers they are intended, is that right? What I mean is, if the pouch is intended to hold 2 AR mags, then can it hold same number of SIG mags?

 

[DAR 701]

If you grind off the nubs that allow you to clip the Swiss Arms mags together they would fit 2 to a pouch, otherwise I think you will only get one mag in with extra room for a cleaning kit or what have you.

Something close to Zytel but stronger and less malleable. I think it's still classified as the material was developed by a federally-owned Swiss lab.

X2!

As for mag pouches, I just cut the interal webbing of standard M-16 mag pouches, letting a couple of SIG mags clipped together fit fine. Maybe not the prettiest, but it'll do until I get Dave Lind at Tiger Tactical make up some sort of custom chest rig/mag carrier for me.

with the studs removed, the SIG-mags are not that much bigger then AR-mags.

But they will not fit (well) in a M4 mag pouch.

I cut the nubbs off my Sig552 mags and they still did not fit well in the M4 pouches -- it made a combat reload basically impossible -- one reason (of many) I got a M4 as soon as I could.

 

[Kampfhamster]

Yeah, depends on the mag pouch, but I'm using a german chestrig and also have a PLCE webbing, in which they fit perfectly. I'm not familiar with other magpouches though.

You can get yourself a M4, but if I show up with an M4 instead of my issued 550 at my next militia course I get a** raped by my CO and the MP.
