oak 3 Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 I was wondering if the follower on the 5 rounder can be cut down to fit 6 rounds? Yes I have searched but I can't find any info and my eyes hurt. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
johnnymceldoo 0 Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 Yes it can be cut down so your MAG can hold 6 rounds. :-)~ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ForGreatJustice 1 Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 I understand it becomes a bit more difficult to load on a closed bolt, however. Is that true? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oak 3 Posted February 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 Did you just cut down the follower or did you do more? On the 7.62's folks also cut down the spring. Did you do that also? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LooneyTunes 0 Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 great questions ForGreatJustice & oak. i too am interested in knowing the answers..sounds like a reasonable alternative to buying expensive 8 round mags. 8^) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mp2go1 0 Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 it may be reasonable looneytunes but the 8 rounders hold 9. the easiest way is to remove the floorplate and cut off whats sticking out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
