hey, guys does anyone have dimensions, at least approximate ones, for 545 ak quadstack magazines, as i want to make a 3d model for printing them?

i would prefer for them to be for the 60rounders, but 50 rounders are good as well....

thanks for help in advance, BENTSCH

ok, thank you

Which ones do you need, I have a cheap first gen pufgun 5.45 quad stack mag. It's all poly so I bought it more as a novelty than anything else.

it would be great if you could give me some general measurements, since i found none online, like width, the neck length, the stepdown at the front of the magazine length and width atc, if it wouldnt be too much work, length i would assume is the same as on a regular 545 mag, it would be great if you could measure the stuff marked with red lines

I already approved it, can another Team member approve it and help OP (original poster) out. dryflash3

I can't see your photo for some reason, there isn't a team approval button for me either.

OP, whatever hosting services you're using are stripping the file ending off, so ARFCOM won't display it.  You have to provide a link to the actual file, not the page the file is displaying on.

ok, this should work, if nothing else does

yaaay

Starting from the left image top to bottom; 1.125"(this is from the tallest part of the feedlips)  0.375"

The right top from bottom; .25" 1.25" 1.75"

I can take some pictures of how the mag works internally too if you'd like.

that would be awesome, thank you very much

i taught myself to upload pictures, and i got my info.... it is amazing first thread to make

no need to worry about me spending money... i like doing it and i have enough of it (or had, i havent worked in a while)

Okay, I got busy the last couple of days and didn't have time to sit down.

Here is the bottom of the mag taken apart.

A pretty basic spring is used to push the follower up, the top of the spring has a flat surface which I'll get to in a second.

Inside the mag you can see a front rib as the follower doesn't actually go all the way to the front of the mag. I suspect the diamond shape is to keep the follower aligned when the mag goes from double to quad stack.

In the bottom of the follower there are two pivoting surfaces which force the "wings" to open when the follower gets farther down the inside of the mag. Note the two tabs at the bottom which sit on either side of the rib on the back of the inside of the mag, particularly at the diamond shaped area.

The "wings" in the closed position when the follower is in the double stack part of the mag.

And finally the wings in the open position when in the quad stack part of the mag. As I said earlier the wings are always trying to open when the follower spring is providing upward tension, which is how they "open" when the mag widens up.
