I was over on the Knife forum and of course there are some very skilled metal workers over there.
So I am wondering: Does anybody make their own box magazines? Obviously you wouldn't probably bother for an AR or an AK or a 1911 or whatever. On the other hand, if you had one of those German Police Trade in Sigs that come with 1 mag, maybe you would want to make a magazine. I heard that after the AWB ended, but before you could get a 20 or 30-round Mini-14 magazines, some people would take the five rounder, take of the base, take out the follower, get a spring from Wolff, and take an el-cheapo and weld on the factory five rounder.
Obviously this would take some real metal working skill and the right tools but since you could buy some of the compenents like the spring, why not?
Just wondering in an acedemic way.
