40 Round Magazine

I saw an AK-47 while in Vietnam and it had a 30 round magazine. So I cut the top and bottom off of a couple of M-14 Magazines and welded them together and made a “40” Round magazine for my M-14. It really didn’t work very well when test firing it, several of the last rounds would not chamber with only two springs. So I put “three” springs into the magazine, but then I could only load a little over 30 rounds. There just wasn’t enough room for three springs and 40 Full Metal Jacket rounds in that magazine. I sure received some strange looks while walking around with my 40 round magazine.

Semper Fi,

  1. TATTOOS = Yes its even worse in the Police field after my USMC time. I fortunately placed mine out of sight. The hypocrites in the Police field make officers wear long sleeve shirts year round. I’ve argued this policy numerous times when they cry they can’t find Police officers to hire. Wake up choir boy leaders. Hire and Fire based on personal performance not Tattoo prejudice. On that same note. Think ahead where and what you tattoo on your body. SEMPER Fi Cpl. Jeff Weiss USMC 1985-1989 /1833 Amtrac. And Sgt LIVONIA POLICE Michigan 1992 to 2017
