Has anyone successfully modified an EndoMag to fit in a non-PMAG body?
I see that the adapter is a bit too long to fit in a regular GI mag and it doesn't fit inside of a Lancer mag that I've got laying around.
I see that backbencher has tried with a different mag and it didn't fit.

I'm just curious if anyone else has made it fit in a different mag body.
I'm guessing that since everyone has at least one P-MAG and they're cheap, most people just jam inside of the mag and get on with life.

And no, IdahoPCCinc, I haven't called MEAN Arms to ask them yet and I haven't modified one myself just yet (but I did sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night).

You're gonna need to 3-D print an extended baseplate or carve one from wood or Delrin or summat.

Thanks guys. I'm guessing that this is the reason why MEAN Arms is starting to move away from the EndoMag concept and is focusing on their new magazines now in various lengths/capabilities. When I get some of the new mags I may sacrifice an old one to see what happens.

You got me !!!


 It's really just a matter of dimensions and tolerances.


Endo mags are made for Pmags.

USGI mags have different dimensions and tolerances than the Pmags.


 I'm still holding my breath and waiting for an endo mag insert for the 40rd Pmag.
