| A Sgt. in my unit who just got back from Iraq told me he was issued a 45 round mag which was the same size as a 30 round mag. He said it slightly heavier, and that it might have been a darker shade of gray. You can imagine my skepticizm when i heard this but he said that he still has those mags and is shipping one to me when he gets around to it. Any ideas? |
| I've got a video of me closing one, somewhere. They have a expandable baseplate that detaches, and slides down about 4 inches. The rumor I heard was it was for storing 30 rds loaded and not wearing out the spring, then when you were ready to go, slap the bottom up. |
I thought Thermold didn't exist anymore. |

There are Thermold mags that hold 45rds. What it is is a 30rd mag that can be extended to hold 45rds. It's the same size of a 30rd mag when fully compacted but when it is extended it is a little bit longer. Delta Force has them in their catalog Look under high capacity rifle mags (I can't link directly to it) ETA: Thermold 30/45rd mag |
Wow, they're a bit pricey!
