Apex has MG13 mags for 18 bucks each, so I decided to give it a go.
I ground off the front tab, welded on a piece of angle iron and had the front fitting well. The magazine has to be cut in the rear right corner to make clearance for the bolt catch. (An unmodified mag will keep the bolt hold open in place) That took some guessing and file work, but I finally figured it out. Now, the tricky part was recutting the magazine latch. I cut, welded and cut again a few times. The magazine now latches in rock solid but I boogered up the inner track where the magazine follower rides. Sadly, I still cannot get it to feed reliably. Follower jams, rounds arent high enough to catch the new cartridge, feed angle is just a tad off. Maybe Ill get it right on the second one......it looks really cool though.
