Mp5 mags - real Steel AK mags

Postby Cap n pickles » Fri Jan 01, 2010 3:26 pm

What are the widths of Airsoft MP5 mags?

I plan on converting them into real steel AK mags for use on my AK.

I found a guide on it, i just need to know the width of the MP5 mags.

Plastic mags would be nice.



Thanks to anyone who helps.

So let me get this straight.

You want to convert airsoft mp5 magazines in real ak mags?

Sorry if I'm nay-saying but aren't AK mags cheap enough?

Actually, i can get REAL AK mags for cheaper. and a ten pack of star mp5 mags are like 60$ or somthing like that..

I would get metal AK mags. but all the finish on them ive come across are ugly.. and real mags are just plain badass.

AK midcaps can hold ~150 rounds. Unless you use expensive S arms MP5 mags, you wont get as many rounds.... I wouldn't do it.

I'm not 100% sure what you're trying to do here.

You plan on converting *airsoft* MP5 mags into *real steel* AK47 magazines to use on your real AK? Is that correct?

I hope not, because that's a special kind of retarded.

im pretty sure he's taking the real steel ak taking the internals out and shaping it around an airsoft mp5 mid cap, god knows why he thinks this is good idea

Installing airsoft magazine internals into a real steel magazine shell is nothing new.

OP, best do a search on Red Alliance, as they might have a guide.

Victory is right. He wants to put MP5 airsoft magazines into real AK mag shells to use in his AEG.

Somehow I imagine this is going to be more expensive than buying a pack of CA Midcap magazines for the AK.

Okay, that makes a lot more sense. Still seems totally retarded, though.

FWIW, the SRC AK magazines have a gorgeous blued steel finish to them.
