i am having trouble finding out if i can order a couple extra 30 round mags w/the conversion kit??

 

[TerraShrewsbury]

you can. If you are ordering online, just put your request for extras in the comment box.


We are backordered on the mags, I have no ship dates as of yet.

Trying to dig up any info on the best mags to use with the 7.62x.39 kit. Didn't see any. So reviving this one. What are the best mags to use for the 7.62x.39 kit?

Recent C-Products mags seem to work best, but apparently can be improved with +5% AK 47 mag springs from Wolff, http://gunsprings.com/RifleShotgun/AK47_RsNF.html
Besta price for the C-Products mags seems to be http://www.aimsurplus.com/acatalog/C_Products_AR15_30rd_7.62x39_Magazine.html

Thanks, saw lots of posts about the C-Products and will end up going with them, but didn't know if there were other options. Depending on availability of course.

Has anyone with an XCR 7.62X39 either new or conversion, had luck with any magazines that will work PROPERLY with Our XCR's? There seems to be something "special" about the magazines that we are getting from RA....
Thanks for your input.

The original C-Product 7.62X39 mags were all problems for me, except the one that came dwith the rifle. After I cleaned & lubed them they have worked without a problem. The 2nd generation mags have a 3 coil longer spring, and have worked from the start. C-Products also sent me, at my request, replacement, longer springs for my original mags. They all work fine now.

Thanks Rich. I appreciate your input. So you feel that one can buy C-Products 7.62X39 magazines anywhere the price is right and have a piece that one can count on?
Thanks, SINKER

I just got some mags and would like to find out if I got the longer springs.

What is the length of the longer second generation springs?

 

[davek]

Newer ones have 23 coils.
Older ones have 20 coils.

 

[SINKER]

Next question is; "How do you know that you are buying a new model with 23 coils vs and older model with only 20 coils?" Thanks, SINKER

 

[MartinRiggs]

Newer ones have 23 coils.
Older ones have 20 coils.

Thanks!

I got the 23 coiler!

 

[rich52us]

Newer ones have 23 coils.
Older ones have 20 coils.

This is accurate based on my mags as well. Anything new in a package should have the new springs because these mags were snapped up very fast initially.

Bought 2 mags from 44MAG.

$25.99/mag

Does anyone know when the 23 coil springs began shipping out as I ordered mine directly from C-products back in February. And to disassemble these mags, I am assuming you have to prey back the clamps on holding the floor plate? Thanks

Nope. Stick a punch in the hole in the floor plate and lift up a little, and slide the floor plate off.

What ever you do,DONT BEND THOSE EARS(at least thats what I call them). Youll end up breaking off the ears eventually. Do like Rich52 said.

 

[Berghof]

Gotcha, I appreciate the advice.

 

[SINKER]

I also appreciate your advice about the punch and moving the plate, rather than bending back the "ears" or "flanges". I have tried this before and it is the dickens to bend them back!

Most definitely do not! The C-products magazines do not seem to have a tight floorplate like U.S.G.I. magazines.If you want them a little snugger,just very lightly bend the floorplate so that when they slide under those tab(ears),they put more pressure upwards on them.
