| I have a DPMS .22LR upper with the 10-shot mag. It is supposed to also accept the Colt 20-round magazines, but I can't find anyone offering them. I would expect them to be rare, and worse case I will have to wait for the sunset, but can anyone suggest a source for these mags now ? |
Are you talking about the M261 mags? If so I think I've seen some on ebay, but pricy.. -John |
There were no 20 round M261 magazines. They are all 10 rounders. To use the M261 10 round magazines you insert them into a USGI 20 or 30 round magazine. That way when you train with the .22 conversion kit the magazine insert/removal is the same as using the full-power 5.56 rounds. The only 'hi capacity' .22LR conversion kit magazines were for the Cienner .22 conversion kit. They were 30 rounds. They are not compatible with the M261, so I doubt they would be compatible with the DPMS unit (since you said the DPMS could use the Colt units). Edited to add: and before you ask - yes I've used the M261 in the National Guard and I have an M261 clone made by Oly (I love it!). |
