More SCAR17 magazines made from Thermold FAL mags

Making the Thermold FAL metric magazine fit the SCAR 17


New thermold FAl metric magazine unaltered

Remove the tabs on the front with a file, make them flush with the body

File the feed lips straight as shown

Make a hole in the side of the magazine, I use a dremel

Start cutting the hole with an exactor knife to 90%, (caution) as you start getting it close to done check it frequently in your lower, the top of the hole is the most important, if you go to high it will not hold the bolt open on the last round

Use a needle file for finishing

That’s it you now have a SCAR 17 Mag

This is now the 3rd one I did, 16.00 each, not a bad deal

That's great! I just picked up some .308 Pmags intending to modify them, but now I have another alternative! Thank you!!!
