From the Website.
Assembly is easy, you simply remove the baseplates from your magazines and then lock them together with the Mag Double, no tools required. You don’t need to modify the magazines in any way, and you can combine them or revert them back to their normal configuration in under a minute.

Now one Magazine has the opening down and one is up into the rifle. How can it feed all 60? You need to remove the ASSY and re-insert it with the bottom magazine opening facing up.

This post had me confused.

My post is just flat out WRONG. The webpage said just remove both baseplates and connect the 2 together. They did not mention that there is a plate that goes inside to connect both springs together on the link listed.

Because you only load from one end. The other end has the follower against the feed lips like an empty mag.

The real question is can you keep adding mags together to get a 140 round mag? that would be amazing. Just make sure you connect them together in DE or somewhere private .

"You can make a 60 round magazine from 2 30 rounders you have lying around" Uh I don't leave my pmags "lying around" they are secured in my mag locker.

No because the bottom mag ends at the feed lips. Imagine this arrangement: feed lips, base plate, base plate, feed lips. So you can only combine 2 mags.

You could combine two Magpul 40's for an 80, which would equal about 7 beers.

wow that is so cool!

 

[travistheone]

you can make a highly effective "device" called a Solevet. Tape two magazines together at a slight height difference. put a pencil or something in between them to spread the tops apart. https://idfcarbine.wordpress.com/magazines/making-a-solevet-idf-double-magazine/

Really

Gansta style or sniper style

So all 60 rounds are stay in the upper mag and the springs compress into the lower mag. And the follower stays in the upper mag so only the spring needs to navigate between the lower mags feed lips to keep pressure on the follower. I want to comprehend this thing.

I think I paid $60 for my Surefire 60s, doesn’t seem worth the trouble of coupling.

Looks like they're mated bottom-to-bottom, with the adapter in place of the baseplates.

No, I'm not gonna try it. That's a lot of weight and size.

The OP’s device looks a lot like the extended mags for my VR80. They work fine, but are horribly unwieldy in any real world situation. 3gun is the only place for them. The AR monster mag along with the big drum mags are kind of useless to me even in 3 gun. There is almost always a run between targets somewhere that you don’t loose any time inserting a new magazine. The shotgun mags are a little different because even the really long and heavy ones only hold <30.

No, the rounds are in both mags. And the springs compress into the lower one.
each spring compresses the same as in a single mag

I don't remember much of the movie, "Requiem for a Dream," except that I didn't really like it. There was this one scene though......that this thing reminds me of... It's probably not on youtube, and I'm not going to look for it.

I just checked Brownells, double that now.

Lame...

Wondering if anyone knows if something like this would be legal in Maryland: https://asquaredarmament.com/the-mag-double/

It’s a simple device that connects two magazines from the bottom by replacing the base plates. Thanks!

Why stop at two? Just keep connecting until you have a full circle!

 

[mtcstle]

Yeah, no ... But, if you’re only looking to beat the MD 10 round limitation. Just drive up to PA and pick up a thirty, anywhere. Perfectly legal to bring it home with you and own in MD. As near as I can tell, OK to use in your back yard. Other restrictions withstanding, [:-). Probably OK at most ranges. Not sure about if you get caught in a gun fight. Cheers.
