Rhodes1968 1,638 Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Welcome to the "ProMag really stinks" club. Get either a Surefire or CSSpecs mag and throw those PM in a trash can. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
headshot 52 Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 That sucks. I really like the way they look. Sounds stupid, but I like a good-looking, functional mag. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
csspecs 1,987 Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 That sucks. I really like the way they look. Sounds stupid, but I like a good-looking, functional mag. Ok I've been wanting to ask since you posted.. What would look good in metal in your opinion? Some side ribs to break up the flats? Less seams ect. Or is it the look of a poly waffle mag your going for. EDIT: To the OP, could you describe the problem that your having? I know my way around the s.308 pretty well so maybe I can point you in the right direction. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mephis 82 Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 Only way to make the CSspec magazine look stylish would require twice the money and work. If that isn't sarcasm, losing seams is always a good thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
csspecs 1,987 Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 HA nah that does not bother me.. I never made them to be stylish, functional was the primary goal.. Now that we seem to have that part figured out I'm working on how to make them look less like commie farm equipment. I'd like to have a product that looked good. We did stamped for the S-20 prototypes, they have steps in the sides much like an AK magazine. That more what your looking for or something else? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rhodes1968 1,638 Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 Functionality is BEAUTIFUL!!! You doing fine cs Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know my way around the s.308 pretty well so maybe I can point you in the right direction. Your mags actually look pretty good. I modded a curved CETME 20 round mag to fit in my saiga, but I couldn't make it feed or be reliable. It involved cutting a seam down the front of the mag, doing som bending along one of the vertical ribs, then welding it back along with front and rear catch. It looked so good, but it didn't work. I like curved and ribbed mags for the "AK look". If someone made a 20 or 25 round polymer that was exactly like the factory 8 rd mag I would probably be brought to tears. I chucked it, but I have several curved 20rd CETME mags and I want to try again before I attempt it on my 25rd curved CETME mag.. I think I could use one of the u308 mag followers or a magpul LR20 follower. Edited April 16, 2011 by headshot Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We did stamped for the S-20 prototypes, they have steps in the sides much like an AK magazine. That more what your looking for or something else? That looks perfect for the 20. If you made 308 mags like that I would give you lots of money. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kawai1 1 Posted April 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 i dont care what they look like if they work do you sell them as a parts kit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
csspecs 1,987 Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 i dont care what they look like if they work do you sell them as a parts kit Yes, but we also sell a ten round magazine if your in CA or other ban states. To order as a rebuild kit you type "make rebuild kit" or "yes" in the box that asks "make rebuild kit?". I only sell Rebuilds to CA, from what I can find other ban states have not clearly stated that rebuild kits are legal. 20 round 10 round Quote Link to post Share on other sites

csspecs 1,987 Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Last I checked MD was ok with 20 round magazines provided you complied with some sort of local law.. So I don't have MD listed as a "no ship" for the 20s.. Just like most stores that sell magazines online. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So I don't have MD listed as a "no ship" for the 20s.. Just like most stores that sell magazines online. 20 rd mags are legal. State preempts local, so no local laws can affect it. IIRC, you used to list that people should consider the 20 rd mags to be 22 rd capacity for legal purposes. Has that changed? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
csspecs 1,987 Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Yeah that changed, they hold exactly 20 and are half an inch shorter then the old magazines. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
