Made a aluminum 34 shot .22 M3 mag
- Thread starter Der_Berend
- Start date
Finally, .22 mag is production ready. I added one final design tweak, replacing the ring and flange bolt design with a single plain steel wide flange DIN 921 extra wide flange bolt. These are a lot more consistent dimension-wise than the aforementioned rings, so even tighter tolerances could be achieved. Also, it just looks better.
That's it then. 11 Months and 50-ish iterations but I finally have something I'm confident in. The .30 cal version is also almost done, after that's finished it's on to .25 and .177, maybe 9mm afterwards but that's going to require a more comprehensive design change.

This speaks to me on a level that I really appreciate. They're gorgeous, but it's that you just decided to do it and then followed through that does it for me. I don't have an Impact yet, but if it happens, I'm looking you up.

Good work. You can flame polish the lid pretty quick, just don't keep the propane torch in one spot for too long.

Good suggestion! I think with thin covers like this it would start warping but I can give it a try and see what happens.

Put a block of metal in the freezer then use it to lay the cover on to keep it cold while you hit it with the torch. I wouldn't try to get it perfectly clear.

I've been using one of his magazines for about half a year now and so far very pleased with it!
Brought it to RMAC with this setup in the Precision Marksman Competition:
And used Airbuks his .30cal version of the magazines in the finals of the 100 yard benchrest at RMAC.
Happened to be the very first buyer of one of his magazines, always nice to support this type of projects
