Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds Looking for a 3 round AR 15 magazine

Friend has a Ruger ranch in .300 blackout and wants a flush magazine. Found a discontinued one by magnetospeed. Anyone know of such an animal?

He wants a flush magazine that doesn't stick out, so it is comfortable in the hand and doesn't catch on stuff.

ruger 5 rounders only stick out 3/8" from bottom

Yep. Might have to settle. If no one can come up with a 3 rounder.

Can you but a larger caliber that holds 3 and change follower?

Cut off a 5 rounder. Its not hard to do a metal mag with a cutting wheel on a dremel. Ive done grendel mags

Have you got a link to a 5 round mag that fits the current rifle that takes AR mags? I can't find one.

Call me soon. thats all we will be able to use in Oregon before too long! We should have plenty

I successfully shortened a few Pmag 10's for the Ruger American 350 Legend. Rough cut a section out with a bandsaw, sanded both surfaces flat, and glued the bottom back on with the black JB plastic welder. That way the removable mag bottom is still functional. But, gave up on that gun and went to a Franchi, that has an actual magazine designed for the rifle it is. Ruger really blew it using the AR mags in their bolt actions. Then they had to hatchet job the bottom of the bolt body to make it work. A simple stack magazine would have been a hell of a lot smarter. They could have sold a larger capacity longer one as well.

ruger makes the ones I got

Thanks. If you get a chance to post a photo of your rifle with that mag it would be great. I assumed they'd protrude more than that.

you right I just measured one it sticks out 7/16", I was of 16th off a inch, sorry
