Re: Magazines?

Thanks to Siringo and Wildcatter so far I was able to 'convert' 2 (i have 2 more to do) PMAG 20 rd magazines for use in the 450B... Until I actually got some ammo I couldn't visualize what Siringo and Wildcatter were telling me about the problem with the normal follower not feeding the first 450B cartridge that is loaded in the mag. BUT it became quite obvious when you see it what the problem is - a really big DUH moment for me..
For those interested - I will post pics soon on how I used Siringo's method to convert the Pmags.. The second mag only took me about 30 minutes or less to convert. I used a dremill tool to remove most of the ridge and had to use a small file to remove last 1.5 to 2" of the ridge in the middle..
Siringo's idea of using nylon screws as anti-tilt devices was quite novel and it works wonderfully in correcting the problem. I thought I could use some pmag 30 rd followers to solve the anti-tilt problem since the have a longer rear end - but they dont fit in the 20 rd mags..
A huge thanks to Siringo and Wildcatter
