Hi everyone,
Have been reading these forums for a little over a year, and want to start my first post by saying the volume and quality of info on Calguns is astounding. You guys are champs!
Ok, the question...
I recently got my paws on a Cobb MCR300 rifle, and am working on assembling it into a CA-legal firearm. My final obstacle is that this MCR300 takes the old WWII Browning Automatic Rifle mags - 20 rounds, which would be great if I lived in just about any other state. :(
Although I managed to get my hands on a pile of rusty old B.A.R. magazines that cleaned up nice n' purty, I haven't been able to find any 10-rounders.
Now, if I'm going to sacrifice any of these precious mags for the sake of this state's @#%! :censored: gun laws, I at least want the benefit of a few real honest-to-goodness shortened magazines for prone shooting as compensation for my loss. I also want the finished products to still be magazines that I can completely disassemble/repair/clean. That means I need to cut them down to size... no rivets, dowels, body-filler, epoxy, etc.
So, does anyone know of any information, dimensions, schematics, how-to's, alien technology, or anything else that might help me in this endeavor?
Alternatively, does anyone know where I can purchase one? I've already tried Ohio Ordnance, and they do make them for their CA customers, but they won't give me the time of day unless I buy one of their M1918A3 B.A.R.s for $3500 :eek:
Thanks in advance for any help... obligatory MCR300 gunporn here: :D

Oh yeah, and just to preempt any concerns about my legal standing with this rifle:
I recently got the custom magazine release working, based on a Prince50 Bullet Button.
The pic was taken out-of-state prior to purchase, thus the original properly-functioning mag release button. At no point have the rifle parts been assembled in this form in the state of CA.
All my standard-capacity magazines are in fact magazine parts, for use either on out-of-state field trips or as fodder to construct CA-legal specimens.
Thanks!
