These work really good. The ones i found in a PC parts drawer were exactly 4 5/8" - By the way... these are computer case slot holders. If you have a desktop PC you probably have 10 or so of these in the back of your computer. All I had to do was elongate the notch on the small 90deg bent portion of the slot holder to make it fit around the spring attachment hole on the follower. Once that elongated "fork" is placed around the spring hole, insert the spring and presto! you have attached the blocking device... (will add photo)... As a bonus, the shape of downward facing end is angled in such a way that it prevents it from interfering with the spring. Anyway, seems to have worked well for me. For permanence you have the usual options... Last edited by AM9000; 05-31-2009 at 9:26 PM.. |

Nice use of "found materials." If someone doesn't have that stuff laying around, they can spend about a buck twenty and try my option - check it out here.

Or you can
go to calegalmags and just get a 10/20 or 10/30 mag and not have to deal with modifying it yourself.
They are the best modifications in the industry. Cant even tell they are blocked and they weigh no more than normal. Just be sure that LEO can not open them or reverse them in any way!!!!!! www.calegalmags.com |

I'll be trying my hand at these projects here pretty soon. With your instructions it looks to be so easy a caveman can do it, so I'll be just fine. Do you find more people ordering the 30's? Cosmetically I find the 20's to just look nicer on the rifles. Are the 20's harder to find due to high demand or low demand? |

At Golden State Tactical, We use the steel rod, and rivet method. It works great and uses NO GLUE. Both on the 10/20 and 10/30 PMags. Well worth the price and just as permanant as glue. Much cleaner also.
IMHO IN STOCK AND READY TO SHIP!!

I just used the rivet method to make 5 10/30's, once I determined the drill locations they went together easy as all. I have a bullet button fixed mag so I haven't been able to use these unless I am using my Government issue rifle (LOL) and I've still got 6 mags to turn into the armory when I check out LOL so thats all that matters. I think I have more mags packed away, might need to dig them out.

I read through the whole thread and didn't see this addressed...
Is it necessary to put the hole through the "C" in the follower and the rod? Couldn't you just use epoxy to hold the rod in? Or would that not provide enough support to cause it to stop every time? Thanks! |

without the hole and pin the rod would crack and fall off after time.

Use the magpul anti tilt followers. Make up a delrin block that will get pinned and epoxied to the underside of the follower. Cut spring as required.

Hey, Does the magpul anti tilt followers have the C? I thought that was just on the PMAGs? What do you use to pin? How come you would have to cut the spring?

You might not need to cut the spring, that is why I said as required.

I didn't have any 1/8" pins to use, but I did have some 4 penny finishing nails. I cut those into 1/2" long pieces and then used a hot nail to melt a hole in the "C". (Note: held the nail with pliers and heated it over a candle.. went through the plastic "C" like a hot knife through butter) Held the plastic rod in place and then drilled through the melted hole, rod and the other side of the "C", popped in the pin and epoxied it all together. Worked for me since I didn't have a drill press to do it all nice and easy. Next batch I do will probably use a little heavier gauge nail since the 4 penny seemed a little on the small side.

Drill and pin where I drew the red line. Seems pretty straight forward.

Edit: To elongate the notch, was that easy to Dremel out? Edit 2: Tried this for an hour today and all I've got to show for it is a massive headache. AM9000 can you please post more pics of the slot cover/bracket, how much you dremeled out and at which points and if at all possible steps you took to get it under the spring? Here's a shot of my bracket piece and for the life of me I can't get the spring to go over it, or slide it under the spring (I tried both ways) Last edited by calcul8; 11-12-2009 at 6:09 PM.. |

One more question on pinning is this for strength as the epoxy sees strong enough to hold the plastic in place or is it more to indicate permanence? thanks again

Did this build and it worked flawlessly... except it's definitely 4-5/8" with the new p-mags I have. The 11th round will just barely depress the 10th but won't go in. As for the epoxy, you don't need near that much. Just roll the end in a small puddle place it and put the pin in. This beats buying the factory 10/30's for $30.

I have to admit I haven't read all 191 posts in this thread but after doing a search I still can't find any information about how to permanently seal the floor plates on these pmags? What is the preffered method you guys are using, epoxy, JB Weld, rivets etc.....

Thinking about pickup up some PMAG rebuilds to do this with. The 10/30s I bought work well, but I can't insert them on a closed bolt. I figure doing it this way should give me enough play to insert it on a closed bolt when full. Thanks for the info OP

Be careful with this. The polymer that PMAGs are made of WILL flex about 1-2mm and it only takes 2.5mm to slip the next round in. The ability to load on a closed bolt can result in your 10rd mag being able to accept an 11th (will not feed but the law is how many can it accept, not how many can it feed).

I know this is an old thread, im sort of skimmed through it for the answer to my question.
Why do i have to seal the whole mag closed? If i epoxy a rod under the follower, the mag at that point is a 10 round permanent magazine. Now the argument is that i can dismantle the magazine and add in a new follower without the rod. At this point, the magazine has been dismantled and is now a rebuild kit which is legal to own. Putting in a new follower and assembling a 30 round magazine from that point would be a crime. But prior to it being dismantled, it was legal. Does anyone get what I'm trying to say? |

I agree with you on this. I don't see the point epoxying the end plate.
