Question about AR Pmag 10/20

[Rexxss98]

Sup Guys!

My 10 rounders are getting kinda old and wanted to replace them with some 10/20 Pmags. I've read the post here and elsewhere, and I'm still a little bit confused on whether or not I'm supposed to permanently glue or weld the bottom of the floor plate to my mag.

In my mind if I release the floor plate and the spring +mag block comes off, this turns into a 20 round rebuild kit not a High cap mag?

Maybe I should just stick with some old school 10 rounders.....I miss living in Missouri

Its your call.

Some say the installation of a limiting block on the inside requires disassembly to remove that limiting block and then the re-assembly without the limiting block is the crime (manufacture)...not the fact you have the ability to do that.

Others say the mere fact you have the ability to remove the block is all a DA needs to file charges.

Some say since most LEO read these threads they want to see the floor plate glued shut, because they believe they are the only ones with the authority to be allowed to have the ability to commit a crime... so to please any LEO you may encounter...glue the floor plate.

Some say that you should FIGHT THE MAN...sell a kidney or lung if you have to...never surrender, never give in and all that jazz, so never glue the floor plate... dare LEO to arrest you when questioned....

I say just buy a dam 10rd magazine, keep the rebuild kits disassembled in a box in your garage.

It sounds like its all relative and up to interpretation of the LEO. I found this site that sells 10/20 at a great price with the Magblock http://westernsportonline.com/index....roducts_id=587. I'm not really sure now if its worth it with all that trouble.

^ and I would agree

Somethings are obvious and I have no issue "walking the fine line" but with Mags and magblocks, there seem to be a lot of uncertainty on what is considered acceptable, so I would err on the side of caution.

Yea I hear ya! I was just thinking to myself how a pain in the ***** it would be to fix and maintain a converted Pmag with the floorplate that's pinned or glued on. I think I might just get these http://www.eaglearmory.com/index.php...roducts_id=407. It seems like a good deal at 80 bucks with free shipping. I've read good things on D&H Mags.

dam...thats a good buy. ArmaLite sells FIVE 10rd Steel magazines for $85. This is SEVEN Aluminum for $82. I will say this...you do not need an anti-tilt follower in a 10rd magazine. The chance of a tilt while loading or feeding is minuscule. ArmaLite 5 and 10 rd magazines come with mil-spec followers.

the 10/20 pmags I bought from riflegear came with the floorplate pinned, $20.99 a piece

i also bought a few 10/20 pmags from Rifle gear so since they are pinned do i still need to GLUE THEM? any1 knows?

[glock_this]

I like to pin or epoxy... I see no reason to do both

Hey Dieselpower just out of curiosity what mags are u using at the moment?

Man I just looked up the price! Steel Mags are expensive....

[pc_load_letter]

Even the "pinned" pmags from RG can be modified. The pin can be popped out with the right push tool. I know because I did it. Same with the pmags you can get at the gunshows. My father in law, a local SDPD, showed me how to remove the rivet via a simple drill bit.

Nothing is permanent. I've simply added the block to my mags and when I want to train out of state, I simply remove the block and have a full 30 rounder.

expensive, heavy and can take a beating... $17+shipping from ArmaLite for a medium length body 10rd steel magazine, or $85+shipping for 5 short length body 10rd magazines.

On your link you get two exta magazines and for a few bucks less.

I wish Pmags came in a 10rd factory body, I'd be replacing all my mags with them.

exactly.. NOTHING is "permanent" but blocked with a pin or epoxy (should not need both) is plenty.
