I'm probably the only one here who has actually been to the Golan Heights despite there being so many Middle Eastern and Jewish history experts.
The Joos have been defending the Druze Christians for generations, and just because they are Christian does not exempt them from compulsory military service. Virtually every male and most of the women are IDF veterans. That said, they're concentrated in the North near the Golan Heights, though you can't tell any difference from the Jewish areas like you can the Arab ones. I wonder how many Syrian Druze would say they're worried about the Jews rather than the Jihadis? Some of the posts here are ignorant and assinine. Tell me again how wishing for the only spit of land the Jews control to be destroyed has nothing to do with your hatred of Jews.
The only reason they took it from the Syrians was it's strategic importance three generations ago. Today Syria doesn't have T-54s that can't fire depressed, so really the strategic importance is much diminished.
There is absolutely no reason for the Israelis to hit the Jihadis in Syria EXCEPT for the reasons they've given. You're right; nobody seems to GAF about the Druze EXCEPT the Israelis, and that may have something to do with (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Israeli_Druze) there being a ton of them serving in all capacities in Israel, and all the ones in the Arab states living as dhimi serfs.
If someone was mascaraing Christian villages just across our border I'm pretty sure that some of us Christians would argue to do something about it, and if the government didn't we would probably do something about it without them. In this case the Israeli government, that has a lot of Druze in it, is doing something. Claiming it's nefarious just proves who you really are.

Good progress on the Magazine portion of the system-oriented project.
Although the material can't handle the spring pressure, the purpose of the exercise depicted in pictures was to qualify the driving equations for magazine capacity, starting with the 10-round version. As luck would have it, my first sample is a perfect 10 rounds with further downward movement of the follower of half a bullet diameter. This protects our brethren that are unfortunate enough to live in states that suck.
From here, I can alter the equation to hit 12, 15 and Tony Gimmellie 17 rounder.
A shout out and THANK YOU to my long-time friend and professional colleague, Josh Kunz, for turning the 3D prints around so fast. It's guys like this that keep projects like this moving and the network of collab is growing.
Lastly, the printed version of the magazine fits beautifully in the Badger Ordnance M5, my legacy DBM (more recently branded as VGW) and the new line of DDG DBMs.
As would be expected based on my studies/findings, it's loose in other DBMs that I physically have sitting on my workbench, further validating the larger dimensions compared to foundational information from Accuracy International and hence, the adjustable things we see these days that really don't need to be adjustable.
