I'm sure this has been covered but I did a search with no luck. I have a couple of riveted 5 round Colt mags I want to convert to 20's.  How do I do it?  Thanks.

I need a 5 rd for hunting.  Want to trade?

Drill the head off of the rivet and disassemble as usual. There will be a nice U shaped piece of spring steel in there to remove.

Granted, those riveted 5 rounders are in high demand with many people offering a 1:1 trade or better to meet hunting regulations.

So they have the correct 20 rd. spring?  Also IM sent to Combat Diver.

You mail the riveted Colt 5/20 mag to me and i mail you a NTHMG 20round mag in return.

Thanks, but I already did the deal with Combat Diver.  I can't hunt with auto's here in PA.

Not to hijack your thread but, I've got two Colt five round mags I'd be willing to trade for like new 20 rounders of a quality manufacturer. I'm in Pa also, so hunting with AR's is a no-no.
