I was wondering if anyone knew of a flat sided 223/556 metal mag...
I built a 7.62x39 and got this mag... I want to try and replicate one for a matching 223 upper...

You won't find a 223/5.56 mag shaped like that. |

OP, you would have to cut the magazine in half lengthwise to be able to put those chevrons in the sides, and then weld it back-up afterwards. Doable....likely. Practical, not so much. |

Yes night shade but wasn't thinking quite as elaborate...maybe just that sticky grip paper cut into "chevrons" .....thinking since I cant find one to just fill the stamped grooves in a usgi and paint it black...
