obiwanbonjovi 337 Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 ok, now tell me how to get one of those magwells. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dracozny 11 Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 I think the super should have been setup like that, it would make reloading and charging a hell of a lot simpler. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zagumennyyilya 51 Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 I like the way the super is set up, the mag is on a spring release so it pops right out, no real need for a mag well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dracozny 11 Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 well, what I like about the mag well that is shown in the video is that you can easily press it over with your index finger. on my super I find I have to use my off hand to release it because it is way too stiff to just use an index finger. The charging handle is in an ideal spot because I wouldn't have to either cant the rifle to reach under and across(if standing), or reach over the top which doesn't give much leverage either.

filthygovemploye 64 Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 (edited) lolz, i dont hate aks, but it sure seems stupid to add a magwell to a gun designed for a diff magazine. css makes decent mags right? its kinda like admitting the platform isnt as good as it coulda been. i really am looking to a next gen ak that is lighter, allows for better mag changes, incorporates LRBHO and has a decent method of attaching optics...for aboot $700 on the other hand, the jew in me likes the concept, as i do have a buncha fal mags Edited October 4, 2012 by filthygovemploye Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not sure you would ever see such a thing around that price point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
csspecs 1,987 Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 I do have to question how much strength is lost by cutting the notch out of the front of the FAL mag. FAL mags are thin and last I checked need a little help from the rifles receiver to prevent the feed lips from bending. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BK201 8 Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Did you find out how to do it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dracozny 11 Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Did you find out how to do it? no I don't own any of those mags although I know they are very cheap. modifying the rifle to accept them seemed like an expensive proposition. so if I did I would have to see if the mag could be modified to fit like a vepr .308 mag, the slant section would be unneeded since were not using a magwell. so the main issue would be if the mag body and feed lips are sturdy enough to support the mag catch and wide enough to keep from slopping from side to side.

BK201 8 Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 I talked with someone who tried it once. He says the front of the mag body is too wide. But these mags are definitely sturdy, and when i grab my 308 later this month, ill try to think up something Quote Link to post Share on other sites
