Like it ONLY holds 20?  Please, please, say that YOURS holds 25 AND will be available soon.  I don't even care if it does or does not feed reliably!

Maybe it's just the part of me that's still riding the BRN-10 hype high, but this almost makes me wonder if a prototype style of BRN-series rifle might be in the works in the future.

Did you base them upon originals and change the catch area or from scratch?

You TEASE!  I am all excited about the upcoming BR10's and now you throw this at us out of the blue!  @Brownells, When will these be available for purchase? Will it be possible to produce any without the "hump" (or stop) underneath the mag catch hole, so that they can be used with the NoDak Spud prototype lowers that many of us used to build our prototype rifles? I know that we can just smash the hump to try and get them to work, but they would be better if they did not have the hump to begin with.  What else do you have in the works for us retro junkies . . .?  Do you feel the least bit guilty for feeding our ADDICTIONS?

Love the stuff you guys are releasing but would really love to just see the retro stuff in stock to buy.

Hint.....20” 1:12 A1 barrels, tear drop FAs, correct A1 dust covers, 20 rounds mags, %80 A1 receivers etc etc

Nope, the bottoms are definitely longer.  Maybe prototype 30s?  What's the chance of the 25 rounders costing $20 or less?

What he said!

If those 25 rounders could be blocked off to only hold 10 (for us prisoners of Kaliforniastan), I would give Brownell's even MORE of my money.

Remember when Brownell's posted the photos of their waffle mags?  People were saying the "shape" was wrong, and that the lines were not deep enough.  Then Mike at NDS said that he had the mags made for Brownells, and all was OK.  My point is that maybe Brownell's is not the best at taking photos of magazines.

That awkward feeling when you just bought 20rd mag bodies to cut and tig weld into 25rders....

New project, Colt Vietnam era 50rd

Now if only someone would make some Prototype uppers!

@Brownells

Please think about removing the bump for the mag catch. If you do it will work in all lowers if you don’t all the proto lowers out there (for this mag is for) won’t work.

I won’t pretend I know lots about stamping mags, but maybe bother can be done with an extra step in the stamping?

There's all of 150 prototype lowers out there.  You can make a mandrel and pound the bump flat w/ a hammer.

You should do the entire 5.56 retro line with a 1:7 twist option.

(...and then you should drop a Colt DOE style upper and make the club go crazy)

Do you have an example pic of this? Would think it would end up fugly.

Think it would be easier to add the bump then to take it away.

View Quote
It's very, very easy to take away.

This is commonly done to make AR-180 mags, along with cutting the catch and lowering the BHO notch.

Additionally, nobody actually wants to remove the bump, because nobody actually owns a prototype Armalite receiver.

Why is this being discussed?
