paprotective 362 Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 As the topic says. I know Promag makes 7.62x39 in 20 round that can be modded to 10 rounds (much like the Surefires can be cut) Does anyone know where to get 10 or 15 round (NJ maximum) 5.45 mags (not 223 people)?? I'll even take FACTORY mags if you know a source.. I'm in PA but go to NJ to shoot sometimes (most) and 1 factory mag and reloading it would SUCK.. This could also help other 5.45 owners/would be owners whom may want to buy one in the BAN states.. I plan on going and getting a 5.45x39 this week, but if I can't get 10 or 15 round mags this may be a deal breaker on buying one.. I don't want to go .223 folks..

jimdigriz 580 Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 (edited) I saw a tutorial on another forum how to cut down 30 round steel mags. I've been thinking about cutting a couple of 5.45 30 rounders down to 20. Something similar might work for you, but presumably you'd have to do it in another state. Maybe if I perfect my technique, I can do some 15 rounders for those unfortunate enough to live or shoot in NJ. ;-) Edited February 14, 2010 by Jim Digriz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paprotective 362 Posted February 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 I know Klassy was doing some also. I'd even pay $25-30 for one factory. Hint to SPONSORS.. I would just 1-2 for NJ and run my 30's here in PA . I could buy a poly mag I guess and play with it I guess. Just want all my ducks in a row before I shell out $329 and S/H $25 (or $340 from CF) and then the $38 Xfer fee. Basically $380-400 total OTD and in-my-hands.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bvamp 604 Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 we are doing a bunch of bullet guides into our stock of 5.45s, so I can call the office, and have the gunsmithing dept. check the shelves for factory ten rounders.....there were hardly no extras brought in with the 5.45s....

Bvamp 604 Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 well, if i do come up with more than one or two, I'll offer them to people in the "ban" states, as a courtesy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Polak 10 Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 Has anyone found a source for 10 or 15 round mags? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wnycollector 4 Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 I love my pre-ban ak-74 mags, but an extra 10 rounder or two would make shooting off a bench much easier! I ran across these http://www.parallaxtactical.com/store/romanian-cugir-arsenal-ak-5-45x39-10rd-steel-magazines-448.html?zenid=b04f43fbbf8620ca84ddd4ead30460da But if you read the review they need some tweaking to get them to work. Does anyone know of a better source for 10 round mags? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kophinos 0 Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 i need a source for some decent 10 rounders too! i've seen the wasr2's linked above, i'm thinking about giving those a try. arsenal/k-var has some black poly 10 rounders but they're always out of stock, and expensive!

csspecs 1,987 Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 Hack saw and soldering iron and you have a ten round mag. Cut two up and bond the other half and make a 50 round. Only works with promag 5.45x39 mags. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rob-cubed 74 Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 I use the plastic factory 10-rounders all the time for bench rest. Once you add a bullet guide, all you have to do is cut a notch in the front to clear the new guide. I bought one of the factory Izmash 10-round '74 mags off K-VAR and compared to the one that came with my Saiga--the EXACT same thing minus the built-in bullet bump! Note that the factory mags have no metal reinforcement anywhere that I can see, but the lugs have held up very well so far. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

toshbar 36 Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 I modded my 10 round factory to hold 15. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I use Napa 30 weight out of an eye dropper. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Why not start your own thread and call for contributions to it? I'd like to see all the different methods people are using, as well as any tips. I've got my own method down pretty pat, but I'd be interested in seeing if it could be streamlined or improved further. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JK-47 33 Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 I cut down a few Russian plum mags to make 20 rounders. I'd be willing to make a few 15's or 10's for NJ members, send me a PM. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There are tons of ways to do it scattered throughout all the threads here because whenever corrosive ammo is mentioned everyone gets in a big discussion about how their way is better and how using Windex and ammonia is not necessary...yada....yada...yada. It kinda gets old. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
acr 0 Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 Here is a thing I worked up and posted over on Gunboards to shorten the Tapco AK74 magazine. I have been using these two mags for some time now with no problems. Tapco AK74 Mag Tutorial Quote Link to post Share on other sites
