Alright I just got this mag at the local gun shop for $10 dollars. The guy that owns the shop told me he thought it was a 10 round mag, but when I got it home I found it to only hold 8.
Has anyone else ever seen one of these?

Yep, the Colt 8 rounder was issued during the AWB period. I got mine two eight rounder mags with a 1995 Colt Match Target rifle. I've not touched them, but I was told they can be converted to only hold five rounds for hunting in certain states. I was thinking, maybe if you stick a Magpul follower in there, since it is taller, you will probably be able to reduce the round count to make it hunting legal. I will experiment with this tonight, time permitting. |

That was my intention for the mag was to block it for a five rounder, thats all we are allowed up here in maine. Actually our hunting regulations book doesn't specify a max number of rounds for Coyote night hunting, But the guys in the green trucks say five. The magazine I have is identical to yours and only holds 8 rounds. I installed a Gen III Magpul and the magazine was still able to hold 6 rounds easily. Also, the way the spring is coiled where it mates to the follower is different than springs on 30 rd magazines. I had to bend it slightly to get it back into the original follower. HTH |
