580 Series Mini - 14 Magazines
« on: November 20, 2008, 07:38:56 AM »
Did they change the magazine dimensions on the 580 series?
I purchased 2 x 20 round magazines at a gun show, and they do not fit.

No they are not.  They are metal, stamped mini-14 on the bottom, but there is no indication of the mfg. 
I paid $15 each.
One will click into place if you put enough pressure on it.  However the tip of the bullet is about 1/8 inch too low to clear the feeding ramp.

Generally with Mini's---its Factory---Pro-mag(worked well in my old Mini---worthless in my new one) and PMI(no longer made) mags that work.

Everything else is garbage.
