need help with Ar-15 30-rd and 40-rd mag dimensions

[max popenker]

hello
can anyone please measure the height of the standard 30-rd and extended 40-rd Ar-15 / M16 mags?

A side-by-side comparison photo also will help a lot.


Thanks!

Those are the sterling magazines for AR-18s, but aside from the magazine latching mechanism they're dimensionally very similar to AR-15 magazines. Ar-15 magazines can be converted to work in AR-18s, don't know about vice versa.

Anyone out there actually own these things? I've never seen them in stores, they haven't been manufactured in years.
