How hard would it be to cut a pmag down to a 10 rd?

    The plate will grab the lip from the 1st gen pmags, but you can rip it off if you pull at a certain angle. So it must be epoxed. I dont think pinning it will do the job

      Pinning it will work just fine. I'm a big guy (6'4" Ex-Firefighter/EMT) and I pulled on the floor plate with EVERYTHING I HAVE and it didn't budge.

        On a cut down pmag? I was able to pull mine with maybe 10lbs of pressure. Pinning will work if you can get it high enough to pass through the body and not the edge of the body like most pinning jobs are done

          No no wasn't your explanation, I am on heavy pain killers and muscle relaxers because I sprained my back. It takes a few reads before things register in my mind. I ordered one and will give it a shot.

              C Products had ten round 308 mags available which work great but they are no longer in business. Perhaps you could find one of those on the used market.
              Check back later for a witty comment.

                  If Magpul ever decides to actually produce them:



                  5-10-15 round mags...all different model numbers. The 10 rd is the MAG 236-BLK.

                    Anyways I got my rebuild kit and started measuring, only thing I want to be able to do is maybe make a ridge for the floor plate to ride on. I'm too scared to cut it right now.

                      Only the first gen pmag ridges are enough to keep the plate in place while you perm. Attach it

                        Yeah I know the ridges are not thick enough, I was more or less trying to come up with a tail cap piece of my own.
