Thread: Making a magazine, just for the fun of it

I had a go at making a double stack 410 magazine for an enfield project. Basically there is no way a 410 will feed from a 303 mag as it is so just to see how hard it is to make one I had a go...

The metal is from the old nightstore heater and a bit thin at 0.8mm. I cut out a rectangle for each side and marked out some fold lines etc. To put the stiffening ribs in I cut a slot in a piece of 3mm flat and used a modified chisel in an air chisel (the first go just cut through).
Then I just bent each shell and welded them together.
Now due to a couple of mistakes and really just seeing if I could do it this one isnt usable (I put bends in the wrong place and made the front narrower than I was going to)
