Does anyone make an all American 5, 10, 20, 30 or 40 round magazine? It would sure help with the parts count.

New hi-cap mags can only be manufactured for military and law-enforcement use. Add to that the fact that foreign-made ones are dirt cheap and you see why no American firm makes mags.

Only magazines manufactured prior to September 1994 can be civilian-owned.

Not to change the subject drastically, but changing the follower and floorplate on a mag is really a cinch.

Not all followers work, though, so you have to be careful to get ones that work in your mag. Some I purchased from K-VAR did not hold the last round in the magazine (the round resting directly on the follower).

In fact, the only US-made followers I could get to work were the orange plastic ones made by FSE (First Son Enterprises).

I'm sure there are other US-made followers that work; I just never found them.

FSE (First Son Enterprises).

Zoid, Thanks I have been wondering about that for a while now. I never knew.

 

[ZOID ZODIAN]

No Prob, Kev.

Does anybody know if FSE is still even in business? I haven't seen an ad for them in a while.

Harold Shinn is the manufacturer of the FSE product line. I don't think he has a website currently but his e-mail addy used to be: [email protected]
