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 Note, this is a new poster with less than 50 posts. That means it takes 2 Team Members to approve the pic and have it show. I already approved it, can another Team member approve it and help OP (original poster) out. dryflash3 |

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. https://www.ar15.com/forums/General/Picture-posting-tutorial-and-PICTURE-test-thread/168-638569/ |

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