  1. Nothing wrong with an M14 mag, but curious why they wouldn’t go with an cut down SLR magazine.

  4. Herk North FW is pretty unique in that, as much as I learn from Ian’s videos, I often learn even more in the comments. TLDR: didn’t know that, thanks!

  6. Drygdordradgvork I wondered this, and got a very detailed answer from turbogerbil. Essentially, the receiver needs a very thin sided magazine (like the M14s) and the SLR is much thicker and just wouldn’t work.
