What's the cost on these? The bottom metal that is.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: hyugo</div><div class="ubbcode-body">The cost was about $4.00 in material. It's just the stock bottom metal cut apart and welded back together. </div></div>
Are you making these for sale? i.e. - can I buy one from you?

Hyugo,
I'm glad I saw this. I've been going back to the custom Mauser thread and didn't see anything. This will probably work great on my next build. A 7mm-08

Re: mauser mag conversion
Hyugo,
You say these work with M-14 mags? Any issues or smooth as butter?
are you sure you don't want to make a production run of these?

Thanks hyugo

Re: mauser mag conversion
No issues, they work great. I've thought about producing them but the M-14 mags are double feed and wide enough to require the receiver to be opened up. I'm thinking about using an single feed aics mags on the next one to get around the receiver mod issues and if that works I could make a batch of them with out to much trouble.

Re: mauser mag conversion

I believe the 8mm COAL is approx .400" longer than a 308...
don't think it will fit in an M1A mag......

Re: mauser mag conversion
It looks like the M14 mag in this conversion doesn't require anything holding the mag in place in the front of the magazine well, like the M14 rifle has. I suppose that's just necessary in the M14 (or M1A) with the rather violent M14 action.
