I've seen a few pictures and YouTube videos of guys that appear to be using some kind of magazine adapter on their SKS's that allow them to use what looks like 10 round XCR 7.62x39 pistol mags.
Anyone have any idea if there is a write-up or thread anywhere on it?

We fully understand your desire to spend your money with a Canadian concern. However, we own the patent with International patent protection. We are also negotiating with a Canadian Company to manufacturer them under license to us so our friends to the north can indeed spend their money with a Canadian Company. Stay tuned.

if you get any kick backs then its not a 100% Canadian company like Colt Canada

So Antique, I guess we guys here in the USA can stop buying Canadian made "products" that sell really well here in the States just because a Canadian concern is getting a "piece of the action"? We spent a crap load of money developing this "system". We filed for International patent protection just like someone in Canada would do in order to protect their "products". We will protect our investment. It's called a "Global Market" for a reason. I apologize if I have offended anyone. That was not my intention. We are trying to make this available to you guys legally and at a fair cost to you. The majority of the money WILL stay in Canada. That includes the manufacturing cost, jobs to make them and most of the sales profit. We would make far more profits per sale if we sold them to you and had no distribution network setup. Think outside the box here gentlemen.

No need to get defensive, the other guy was more than likely being sarcastic. Most Canadians drive American-manufactured cars, work for an American company and ALL OF US piggyback on the military protection the USA offers North America so that a bunch of North Koreans, Iranians or Russians don't hand our ass to us on a plate by Monday. A few "too proud" Canadians seem to forget that our economy as well as the safety of our nation depends almost entirely on our closeness with the USA. There's a name for that: ignorance.

If you make it and the price is right, people will buy it. Personally, whenever I see "Made in USA" on an item, it is synonymous with quality and desirability. I have zero problem with the adapters being made in the Good'ole US of A. In fact, if cash wasn't tight for me right now, your adapter would be at the top of my list as far as SKS upgrades are concerned.


God Bless America! (and all haters can f-off)

God bless Merica comes after "Our true north, strong and free" as far as I'm concerned. I have no problem buying abroad but if there's a quality Canadian made product out there you better believe I'm buying Canadian first, made in America sure doesn't have the same clout it once did either.
 
to help get you some business, update your website and learn to spell "Canadian" ... it would go a long way...

"Canidian customers" doesn't help your cause, patent or not.

Your argument is flawed. The wholly owned local status of a company has nothing to do with their paying licensing fees to produce someone's (even foreign) design. BTW The government had to buy the license to manufacture those Colt Canada rifles locally.

Are you sure the duckbill magazine manufacturers aren't paying licensing fees to someone that holds a patent? And just because there is another magazine well adapter out there, doesn't mean there isn't new patentable claims to be made for this product. Modifications to prior works are patented all the time.

Dude, he knows we want to use pistol magazines. Since the first time he sold to a Canadian address I'm sure. Just sayin.

antiqueguy said:
yeah im in doubt here that there is one besides his design needs mag's made/moded for the adapter/rifle so that means they would be 5rd only at that point its pointless and a waste of money

They do that for convenience in the USA, avoids machining the reciever. In Canada we modify the reciever and use unmodified mags. Marcus can provide the instructions to fit the rifle for unmodified mags.

I feel you pain, as a fellow designer and Gun parts maker, I hate to see this happen.
Im glad to see you may be working with a Canadian company to have those made here, it will be a lot easier for you to have them made here then import them.
Pease to not take the replys you have gotten here as standard, there are many people that own sks in Canada, and they are very cheap, most people spend more on parts then the gun.
we do have some strange gun laws so this item you have made will sell very well for you.
The attitude you seeing here with, "just copy it" is a side effect we get in Canada with the amount I cheap and or knock off products we get from China.
But not everyone is like that.

Still nobody has posted evidence of any such patent they claim to have.

Proving that it's illegal for someone in Canada to make an SKS/AR mag-adapter will make or break this discussion.

I could claim right now that Glock and Sig copied my handgun designs. But unless I can prove it, who's going to listen?
 
Oh this is gonna be good.

When i made my topic about my adapter two and a half years ago and posted it on youtube, Marcus emailed me and asked me how i did the magazine release UNDER the stock. Being helpful i sent a very long and detailed instruction on how to do it, and how i had no plans to mass produce.
Remember boys and girls, up until recently you had to modify the magazines with another mag release hole on their adapter.

Lo and behold a few months after my email back, to which Marcus never responded, another version of the mag comes up, copying the slanted mag release that i came up with.

So for him to come on the very ####ing board that me and a few guys came up with the idea of the canadian legal magazine and wag his finger with his "patent" is pathetic.

Here's the link to the original post.

So yea, my adapter came out Dec 2012.

Oh i found Marcuses post on my youtube video

I'd like to know more about your mag catch for the mag. I'm the guy in Texas who came up with an adapter that uses Tapco modified mags and a new one for AR style mags. We are currently redesigning the adapter to use Mini 30 mags. Marcus

i also have the copy of my email to Marcus about the adapter.
