Wakal 10 Posted July 3, 2005 Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 Very nice work! Alex Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dinzag 31 Posted July 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 (edited) Thanks guys! JAFF - if you got two 10 rounders, lay 'em over top of each other & see what it looks like. Maybe take a pic...You would probably knock your targets over without shooting! Edited July 6, 2005 by dinzag Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jaffa Killer 0 Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 Dinzag. There's NO WAY I'm gonna cut up my 10 shooters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And yes I know it would be huge.But just think about it,a 20round semi-auto 410 shotgun!!!!!!!!!!!! I am thinkin bout getting some four shot mags and splicing 'em to make some ten rounders.Then if those work,I might try a 20. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey1 0 Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 (edited) DINZAG, Looks like we all want some more capacity???. I'll add just a bit to your excellent post. The 2 mags I cut were not the same diamentions internally,(thick on one end & thin on the other) it was critical to align both pieces and "Tack" them as you sugested & make sure the follower slides easy. I thought the spring was a little short but no problem... I had a damaged AK 20 round clip... the spring "snaps" right in and without cutting and the mag still holds 10 rounds and feeds with authority. I have not found the 20x76 mags able to feed the 2 3/4 " shells(even w/the follower turned) reliably and have not had any problems with the 70mm mags. Looks like "TANTEL" will be out of the 70mm mags soon? mikey1 Edited July 5, 2005 by mikey1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dinzag 31 Posted July 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 (edited) mikey1, On flipping the follower on the 76mm mags...Mine works, but now that I have some 2 3/4" 10 rounders, I flipped it back. If I ever want (or find) 3" ammo, I have a 5 rounder that will work. Yeah, I think Tantal is out of 2 3/4" mags now. (as far as anyone else knows) They'll have to wait & order through the new importer now... Edited July 6, 2005 by dinzag Quote Link to post Share on other sites
danny boy 0 Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 You know, you could make a 15rd mag by adding another, and a 20rd by adding another. Hell you could make a 100 round mag by adding more mags and no longer need a benchrest to pattern! I just went up to compare- a 10rounder will be an inch or so longer than an AK74 mag, and a 15rd mag would be close in length to a 40 rd 7.62 AK mag. I vote use 3 and fire 15!!!

Need to order some more donor mags. Edited July 16, 2005 by dinzag Quote Link to post Share on other sites
danny boy 0 Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 If my measurements are correct, you could use a 30rd AK mag spring for a 15rounder. I don't think the narrower spring would be a problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dinzag 31 Posted July 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 (edited) Yeah, the length of a 30 rounder ak spring should be good. I just have a bunch of extra springs left over from hacking up the mags for my 10 rounders so it would be nice to find a use for 'em. Although I'm not too sure of the legality of them...

AegisDei 2 Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 For real. If the new importer has decent prices, high cap mags could be only $40 bucks or so. That's not bad at all. Will it work for the S12 5-rounders? Any ideas anyone? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Saiga20InMyHome 0 Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 first of all, let me just say thank you for posting this tutorial. second of all, i need some clarification. Forgive me if i'm stupid, but are you saying to just use one 5rd magazine spring in this 10 rounder? wouldnt that make it unreliable? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oak 3 Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 If anyone is chopping up a 5rd S12 mags to do this, do you have a left over follower? I need one. I just bout a S12 and the mag that came with it has been fucked with so i need another follower to fix it. Anyone have an extra follower??????? oak Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uzitiger 193 Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 You could also cut the magazine as shown above and make a center section from fiberglass and glue the upper and lower magzine halves to the fiberglass center section to have extended magazines. If you mess up you'll destroy a good magazine but if you succeed you'll have two higher capacity magazines. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

buckandaquarterquarterstaff 5 Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 This one's deserving of some serious bump... I did Danzig's 9 and 2 round cut and reweld mods and it performed flawlessly at the range today. Drew some significant oogling from the peanut gallery, not bad for a $230 gun and about three hours of time for a conversion and mag weld job. The 3 in mag was occasionally stuffing the first or second round against the top of the chamber. Is this type of behavior what the wedges would fix??? The stock 3 in mag did the same thing, so it really didn't have anything to do to the conversion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ak_Rider 1 Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 I'll give you much more than $32 for one of these bad boys. Were can i get one? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dc2bar 0 Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 I'll give you much more than $32 for one of these bad boys. Were can i get one? This thread is nearly 4 years old. If you want a 10 rounder, go get a surefire. Click pretty much any of the sponsors up top and they'll have em, CSS, MAA, etc. for about $45-$50 Unless you have a 20ga, then you're kinda boned.
