Mean arms has introduced a product that is basically a mag inside a mag, hence the name “endo mag” It uses a Magpul P-mag gen 2 or 3 as the body and then with a different spring and follower to feed 9mm.
Well Magpul also makes a Steyr AUG version of the P-mag. IF the interior dimensions are the same and there is some way to provide an ejector, this could be a great solution for a 9mm Steyr AUG. Steyr AUG 9mm 25rd mags are $65!!! A P-mag and endo-mag together would be under $40!!
OK, I see that it has its own ejector built in. So a new question is would the steyr bolt clear this ejector?
TED, thanks for the link. I’m game if it works as advertised. If so, I can easily run 9mm using my full auto lower. I’ll wait until they actually start production though.
Would you ragtehr pay $65 plus for a proprietary foreign made mag or $30 to $40 for a domestic made mag that can be retrofitted back to 5.56 if needed?
Be careful shooting 9mm on that transferable lower. I personally don’t do 9mm on my M16s due to the higher risk of fcg pin hole wear. 9mm is what the UZI and MP5 SMGs are for.
