Very cool thanks for the additional picture. You should get a ppsh-41 drum and another 41 mag and cut down the mag and weld it to the drum for a feed tower ;)

Have not tried to put the two together. Once you remove the cage the 41 and 43 mags are the same size. The 41 being a single feed and the 43 a double feed. The Fal was built with 43 mags but were just too far away from the throat to work right.Quote:

My magwell adapter uses an AK mag release, I grind down the large protrusion on the 43 mags then just measure and cut into the spine for the mag catch. Same thing on the 41 mags after I remove the cage.
That's cool using an ak latch and modifying 43 mags was another idea as well though if I go that route I'll move the ak barrel trunnion back to shorten the magwell and push the barrel back to the front of the locking lugs to make sure there's as small a space as reasonably possible from the mag to the chamber for nice feeding though the bolt and carrier will require heavy mods but that's not too hard ;)
Wow!! Did this thread get jacked, or what?
I've heard to stay away from Triple K mags. I bought a couple of mags from here.......

They work great.
Just don't use them to pull the barrel assembly out. The floor plates aren't quite as tough as originals.
Yes it did. I do have a 52 as well. :)Quote:
