I'm not sure if I have the one you are talking about, but the 10 round that came with my rifle did not have the slide off floor plate, and it had a pin through the middle. I never use it. I can't get it to lock into the magazine well reliably when it is loaded. All my other magazines work except this one.

I have a 10-round Bushmaster mag that came with my Bushy when I bought it (naturally). It's my understanding these are former larger capacity mags that have been cut down, then reassembled with a shorter spring and a floor plate that is [u]supposed[/u] to be irremovable without destroying the magazine.
I've had this mag for over a year now and it has been totally reliable. -Corrections to the above are welcome, as always.- |

Yes, those are the old-style "frankenmags", made by cutting the curved portion out of a post-ban 30-rounder and pinning the straight portions back together on a block of aluminum. They are generally a crappy design and should be avoided.
The new-style 10-rounders are better (plastic, non-removable floorplate type). Still, if it's legal for you to do so, I recommend sticking with USGI 20s and 30s. -Troy |

[:\] Ah, I have the newer design. I see the difference now.

I have the Franken mag type ones that came with my rifle and it functions perfectly.
