Guys,

I'm heading down to the US for a business trip, and wanted to pick up some MecGar mags for my P16. Prices down there are CRAZY cheap for hi-caps.

I'm wondering, what is the best method for pinning 16 round mags to 10 rounds? Obviously, I'll need to pin them while I'm down there, so I'm trying to get ideas of a good way to pin them with minimal drilling/machining, as all materials I need to pin them will need to go in my luggage!

Anyone have some MecGar mags and know a good way to pin them?

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
 
Take note I spoke with a Canadian immigration officer about bringing in pinned hi-caps and he pointed out their policy for how they want them done, which didn't include pop-riveting even though it's generally accepted by other authorities. You may want to confirm and get a name from the border crossing before coming back with them just so you don't end up with possible hassles.
