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

    The Handl Defense lower allows for their use: http://www.rainierarms.com/?page=sho...roduct_id=3217

    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.

    Check out Rainer Arms. They carrey a mod lower that is not a regestered part like the upper. It will allow you to use PMags. A lot better than grinding down a good mag.

    I pick up my SCAR 17 tomorrow and grabbed 6 new mags from the FNH Store last week for 40 bucks each and they threw in a free T-Shirt.

    Don't take this wrong but I think only a Idiot would take a 2700-3000 dollar rifle and try "rigging" mags that are NOT made for it because you're too cheap to buy the correct Magazines.


    Oh...and nice Video.... Man with a Roto Tool...look out!!

    I might not have used the word "idiot", but I'm in complete agreement with this.

    I wasn't taking a personal shot at anyone in this thread...

    Just my opinion
