I’ve seen a picture of a 20 round GI mag with the Ranger Plates before and my OKAY industries 20 round mags all have a tab on the bottom unlike the 30 round mags. Is there a 20 round GI mag that the Ranger Plates work with? Stupid off the wall question but figured someone here would know.

Pretty sure THESE will work as they are not like the std USGI 20s.

I actually had a pack of 10 in my cart thinking they would work also, I read somewhere on here that they are built like standard 30s. I’ll report back when my order comes in. Thanks for the help man!

Correct, design mimics the 30s.

BCM also makes a 20rd magazine that has a slight curve like the standard USGI 30rd magazines. The floorplate tabs are the same as a 30 so they should accept range plates.

You can modify the Ranger baseplate to fit regular 20rd GI mags, i’ve done it on plenty of Colt 20rd mags.
You’ll have to cut the baseplate down to clear the retaining tab on the 20rd mag. Photo added to show where it needs to be cut.

For those you all using the Magpul L Plates,or the Ranger plates on 20rd mags... does the use of these allow a full 20rds or 19 rds ?

I know on the 30rd mags both those plates can limit mags to 29rds, from the added internal plate.

Can only load 19rds in Colt 20rd mag with magpul ranger plates installed.
