    Request, weight of a 20rnd 762 PMAG full of 168gr-180gr

    I'm trying to put together a visual for an article I'm writing. Does anyone have a precision scale, a 762 PMAG and 20 rounds of something 168gr or heavier, ideally with a dust cover.

    I could probably find the weight for a 168gr 762 round, but I can't find the exact weight for the PMAG anywhere.

    Thanks

    I'll see if I can't weigh one for you shortly.

    Digital shipping scale a friend has at his gunshop. M&P-10 in this configuration weighed in at 8.5 lbs without mag or ammo

    Weighed with a Pmag loaded with German MEN it's 9.95 lbs. Loaded mag weighed separately is 1.45 lbs
