brown dog Posted June 6, 2020 Report Share Posted June 6, 2020 I realise this is a pretty superficial question; but has anyone found a .22 AR mag that visually approximates the external shape of 5.56 mags? MP15 mags jar my eye! (Or anyone ever cut an MP15 mag down to fit it into a 'proper' mag?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaMonkey Posted June 6, 2020 Report Share Posted June 6, 2020 The CMMG mags are your best bet, they look right and are very solid. They are still plastic but as I said, very solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamBam Posted June 7, 2020 Report Share Posted June 7, 2020 EMRR has the grey CMMG mags for £17, then use RIT dye to make them black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brown dog Posted June 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2020 13 hours ago, saddler said: I use a couple of .22 Bremmers that are based on the US Issue M261 conversion. The magazine of the original system comprises of a 10-rd small metal unit...which is wiggled into a donor full sized STANAG magazine. It has the advantage of being usable in most sizes of AR15 mag, plus the donor magazine can be one that is well past normal use with chewed up or otherwise boogered feed lips, as the 10-rd insert uses it's own internal spring and feed lips, etc. The minor annoyance - the insert is only 10-rd = but Black Dog offer a M261 model in either 25-rd or ITAR friendly 10-rd* options = $15 a pop, with orders over $100 then getting 25% off. Only got one of the BDM units so far, so not tried them for fit inside a metal AR body: it could finally be a way to find a use for the awful RG SA80 jobs...* the 10-rd BDM mags take about 5 minutes to convert back to standard 25-rd capacity Please would you post a link to the mag insert version - can't spot it.

Mattnall Posted June 7, 2020 Report Share Posted June 7, 2020 Is it the shape or colour of the mags that is a problem? Or the fact that most of the 22 mags have screws all the way round and/or a thin part down the middle? The only ones I have seen that fit the bill totally are the M261 mag insert (and the Air Force conversion kit that I haven't seen in the UK) as these use the standard magazines. CMMG make a good looking mag just needs the holes filling and painting to get the colour correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
