Scar 17 p mags, sand down to fit. ?

[Pappabear]

Hey guys, I have a friend with a Scar 17, can he sand down the 20 rd 308 pmag to work?

Bad idea. You can find 17 mags thru FN's estore around $40.

Bolt catch will damage your bolt face with this thing, design flaw that needs to be worked out before I would ever consider investing in one.

You would need to modify the lower for pmags. Or buy one of the 2-3 that they're selling to fit pmags.

A few guys have modified fal mags, I'm going to try that one of these days since I have some a round and no gun to use them in anymore.

Apparently it can be done. There's a 2-part video detailing the process. I suppose if you have the tools it's worth a try, but will you stake your life that they'll work 100%? I guess for the range they'd be alright.

Really? How is that?

Just people parroting incorrect information, again. If it gets repeated enough, it becomes fact. Same with the pmag causing issues in the 16. And yet no one can show a single confirmed example.....
