I have some magazines that need to be modified from 15 to 10 rounds to keep from being sent to the gulag in the Soviet State of NJ.. They are mostly AK and AR mags.
I decided to see if I could take apart and reblock four 15/30’s that were already permanently altered when I purchased the rifles from a NJ Dealer. I wanted to see how well they were made permanent and did’t care if I messed them up, it was more practice before modifying some better mags.
Just by looking at them you could not tell they were epoxied in any way, only pinned or riveted. I was able to carefully take them apart without damaging them fairly quickly..
Two were AK Pmags pinned going through the side of the floor plate, through the body and into the plastic block. One was an MFT AR mag pinned through the bottom of the floor plate into the block with some sort of adhesive attaching the block to the spring. The other was an AR PMag riveted through the floor plate into the block with adhesive between the block and floor plate. The adhesives used did not adhere well to the polymer of either the Pmag or the MFT and popped right off under some pressure. Don’t know what the adhesives were, one was black the other a clear yellowish color..
