| Well, cheaper than a Beta Drum, and potentially more reliable. I'll pick up a hundred rounder once they're available. |

Tag hoping to find a photo of the follower out of the mag in this thread.
How does it not hang up at the transition point? I know I will be getting one of these, if they are reliable. |

RR The guy said it was done on a mill and a drill press a few years back. But you can do that if you are one of the Lucky ones. We are hoping he gets the 100rd mag early also. That 60 is supposed to be at the 4th of July MG Shoot in Texas. It is expected to see some more use. |

Yes, he was banned from here or two year or so ago. I will miss the Leona Shoot this year. |

Some more Surefire 60rd videos are up on TexasGunTalk:
Surefire 60rd Mag Dump Surefire 60rd Mag Dump - slow Motion Surefire 60rd Mag at the Leona 4th of July MG Shoot I think the 60rd Mag works! |

So lets see about $100,000 in Class 3 guns were used to test a $129.00 Mag.
COOL God that disassembly reassembly looks like a pain in the ass. If i'm going to get one might as well spend the extra bit of cash and get a 100 rounder. I get may get 2 for the zombie hoards. |

When reassembling the mag, it is possible to "get it wrong" or make a kink in the spring if you aren't paying attention and keeping them to the rear of the mag. The best way to reassemble the mag is to first emplace the 2 column follower, the 2 column follower spring and 4 column follower into the mag body. There is only one way it can go. Now, take the divider/spring guide (looks like a curved popsicle stick with a flat base) and slide it through the slot in the 2 column follower that is at the top of the mag, vic the feed lips.(as if you are loading, or stabbing the follower) You may have to flip it over and look into the bottom of the mag. Ensure that the curve of the divider is going in the same direction of the curve in the mag. Now, you should have the divider flat on it's own base,(on a table or flat surface) going through the 2 column follower from the top of the mag, which in turn will go through the 2 follower spring. You will be able to see it looking down into the bottom of the mag. Now, you have a platform in which to load the two 4 follower springs and the coupler. As the springs are compressed, the divider will remain inside the spring coils and keep them in line at the rear of the mag. Once the springs are compressed, and snapped beneath the base plate tabs, you simply pull the divider out of the top of the follower, and slide it into position at the bottom of the mag, inside the bottom 2 column follower spring, ensuring that the divider's curve is going the same way as the mag's curve. Replace the base plate. Now, load the mag. For the most part, if you have done something wrong, you will know in the first 10 rounds. Test for function. I have disassembled and assembled the mags several times with no issues just "jamming the springs back in." It can certainly be done. However, the above TTP leaves less room for error. If you are anything like me, you don't take you mags apart often anyway. (I spent a few years in the Army, and shoot some. I have only disassembled 1, One, as in a single 30 round mag in my whole life. Just throwing that out there) But, I know guys will take these apart anyway. Let me know if there are any questions to the above TTP. When you guys read it, it may not make sense as I wrote it, and I'll be glad to expound. |
