Interesting mag and configuration…
Loach pilot, probably late ‘60’s or early ‘70’s. Pic from random Facebook posting.
Some are saying this was a 30 round mag that some of the SF and aviation guys bought mail order from US. 30 round at mags. I know they have been available, if not issued.
Some are saying that these were “field conversions,” putting an AR feed lips on an AK mag to increase capacity (which seems unlikely as AR mags are aluminum and AK mags were steel (and some Bakelite/polymer).
Any insights? Also interesting Grenade launcher configuration. Like an early 203.
Anything you recognize? Or built?
And I considered it might be an AI image… but looks more like an old Kodachrome.
Cheers, Sirhr
