Remington Model 5 mag adaption


Over at rimfirecentral.net I found basic instructions on how to convert a 10 round Mossberg Plinkster magazine for use in a Remington Model 5 (or it's fellow cross branded equivalent rifles).

I simply used a 10 inch mill file to make the modifications and a bench vise to hold the magazine steady.

The divot on the right side of the magazine just needs to be filed flat, and a new catch needs to be filed about 9/16ths of an inch below the top latch catch.

I plan to make three more of these babies.

Don't you just love those serendipitous discoveries?
Mine was the discovery that I could add a magazine catch slot to the XD mags and have a whole bunch of 16 rounders for the S&W. Looking at other gun mags, I think there's quite a lot of interchangeability with very slight mods.
