Quoted:
Started modifying my prototype mag today, and got the size just right. Now to cut and bend the tabs, smash the insertion bump, and recut the mag catch notch. BTW, there is a nice smooth blued finish on the mags underneath the rough textured finish. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/432342/IMG_5116_JPG-897085.JPG https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/432342/IMG_5117_JPG-897086.JPG https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/432342/IMG_5118_JPG-897087.JPG https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/432342/IMG_5119_JPG-897088.JPG |

Quoted: That's what I will use then. The angle looks different too, can you tell us how far up the magazine body you marked the front and rear? Looks like less for the front and more for the rear. |

Here is the finished product. My PermaSlik is old and the finish came out a bit blotchy. I'll call this one "used" and put new PermaSlik on my next one for a "new" finish:

More info on brownells 25 round magazine, for those interested.
Weighs exactly 7 ounces on my digital scale. By comparison brownell's steel 20 round waffle magazine weighs 4.4 ounces, a regular 20 round GI aluminum magazine weighs 2.8 ounces, and a GI aluminum 30 rounder weighs around 4 - 4.4 ounces depending on what type of spring / follower it has. |

However, there's no "off the rack" builds. You can't just pick off a list, and there is a cost above the norm for custom work. He's an artist/magician. I got this one in the EE, but I just sent a new A1 stock along with my BRN-10 furniture to him to work his furniture magic. I want this dissy to have an A1 length stock. His basic gunsmithing prices are more than reasonable, but the paintjobs take talent and he's the only game in town. On the other hand, in the AR15 world, everyone has seen it all, but nothing turns heads like a John Thomas build. I applaud Brownells for their retro line, but they can't touch John's attention to detail. http://www.retroarmsworks.com Grab a box of tissues and check out his gallery. |
