Ruger Mini 30 7.62x39 magazine dimensions?

[HankC]

Can someone give me front and rear width and length of Mini 30 x39 magazine! I like to see if it would fit into Large Ring Mauser mag well. I built a Turk Mauser 7.62x39 but mag well and feed lips are too wide apart. I modified the mag well with inserts but feed lip width is still too wide. Functional, but can be better. AK mag is too wide (1") would not fit, AR mag is almost there but still a bit wide (.88"). Mauser is 0.87" at the rear and narrower at the front, may be need .73". I could use single stack AK mag but I prefer double stack. I heard Ruger Mini 30 mags is thinner and may fit. Can someone give me dimensions! Thanks.

Mini-14 223 would fit, but I imagine the x39 mag is a bit wider. SKS mags are thinner than AKs, but not by much. What about a 6.5 Grendel (x39 based case) AR15 mag? Or 7.62x39 AR mag if you like the banana mag look?

AR mags from different calibers are the same dimensions, SKS removable mag is thinner than AK's but a bit fatter than AR mag. If someone has .223 Mini-14 mags and take dimensions, it would be helpful too. I can bend feed lips if fit.

Oh well, it won't fit, I'm glad I didn't buy one and try! Thanks a lot. Maybe I can squeeze an AR mag and try it, need to find a throw away old mag to play with it.

Glad I could help.

Yes, all AR15 mags are the same width, but have different followers and feed lips for the x39 based cartridges. And the 7.62x39 mags have a banana shape like the SKS/AK.
