Can anyone give me a recommendation for a 5 round cap mag for a reasonable price for the AR10 (SR25/DPMS type)? I plan to possibly use one for deer this year, and in the sunshine state, I am limited to a 5 round capacity. In NC this didn't matter, so no problem using any of the dozen or so 10 or 20 rounders I have laying around (which I used to only put 3-4 rounds in anyway). The best deal I can find is buying a PMAG 10 rounder and a 3 pack of 5 round limiters (2 more than I need or want) for around $30. I can't put a 5 round limiter in my existing 10 rounders because they aren't PMAGS, they are KAC- the smallest one the military even buys is 10 rounds. Very irritating to me that I will likely end up having to spend $30 just to get my gun to hold less ammo to be in compliance, especially since I won't even load the compliant mag to full capacity.
 
Check local regulations, of course, but for such a limited use, it would not be difficult to create a magazine block using a 1x piece of wood, cut to the profile of the magazine. There may be a little trial and error to adjust the height of the block to make sure only five cartridges fit in the magazine. Just remove the block after deer season. I suppose this idea does depend on the floorplate style of the magazine.
