I'm interested in those 15/30s you're talking about, Ty.

Does anybody have a 15/30 laying around right now that they can weigh? With and/or without ammo.

i have a maqpul 20 rounder i baught for 25.00

 

You scofflaw. I bet you pump your own gas, too.

 

Seriously, though... I'd be careful with that.

Anyone interested in 15/20s in black, I've opened pre-orders for a shipment that's coming in on 10/7!

15/30s with the lightweight, silent block are now available! Here's the announcement in my subforum: http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php?/topic/19010-new-design-blocks-light-quiet/page__view__getnewpost

How do you guys clean the pinned PMAGs?

How do you guys clean the pinned PMAGs?

One of my customers mentioned a dunk method. Fill one basin with soapy water and one with clean water. Submerge the mag in the soapy water basin and depress the follower to allow water to end more quickly. Swish the mag around and drain the water. Any sediment that would have gotten in there would come out. Rinse in the basin of clean water using the same method. PMAG springs are stainless steel so they shouldn't run into corrosion issues.

Thanks for the quick reply, that makes sense. One last question, if you are making the "stubby" magazines from a cut down 30 round PMAG, could you just cut it down to only hold 15 rounds so there is no need for blocks or pinning the baseplate?

Unfortunately not for a couple of reasons:

 

1. The 15rd point does not match up with a rib

2. Even if 1. was not an issue, the ribbing of the "M" revision mags is not pronounced enough to catch a baseplate. The Gen 1 PMAGs and the 20rd PMAGs can but not the "M" revision ones

Thanks, I figured there had to be a reason.

So the "stubby" mag is actually cut down to 20 and blocked to 15? Why not cut it where it would make it a little shorter than a 20.

Because there isn't a rib there and the feedback I got was the mags look funny when cut that way.

You misunderstood me, cut it a little shooter than a 20, so it doesn't look like one. I understand it can't be cut to exactly 15, but can it be done to NOT look like a 20?

Why would you even want to do that?

My 15 in 30 bodies don't look butchered to me.

I could but that would spawn a whole new set of blocks that would be needed. I could do a custom run if there was enough demand though. Would need just 15 units to make it happen.

I just ordered some of the 15/30. I like the 30 round sized mags, I have not found any mag pouches that fit the 10, 15 or 20 round sized mags without the mag being lost inside or without needing some type of modification. I think I may purchase 20 orange training rounds,should I be stopped by the police for a questioable mag the officer can try to place more then 15 rounds in it and he/she won't be handeling live ammo.

If it says 30 on the side it holds 30 though.

 

EDIT: I just had an epiphany! I have the same problem with the magazines getting lost. I'm going to get some sort of foam to put in the mag pouchso they dont slide in all the way.

The Magpul dummy rounds are great for this purpose.

 

P.S. Your inbox has shipment info!

I know, but it's a 30 round body holding 15 rounds. I want the mag to be as small as possible so it LOOKS like it only holds 15 rounds.

Just placed an order for 3 of the 15/30 mags

 

Cant wait to check them out.

Just used some 15/20 from Midwest PX worked flawlessly. I also tried my hardest to get the 16th in, but I failed...

For those that may have missed it...
