Looking to Learn
I was reading another post about the Mini14 vs the AR platform, and taking AR magazines.. what all out there takes the abundantly available AR15 magazines that ISNT an AR15?
Mini 14 will take ar15 mags, but they are not reliable with them. Turn mine into a jam-o-matic
the 10 rounder standard mini-14 mags are highly problematic too. Something about Bad Lips.
There is a much smaller list of rifles that take AR mags that are still legal in MD, but still quite a few options.
The CZ Bren is a recent standout IMO. A poor man's SCAR (though still expensive).
I love having rifles other than the AR that take the same mags but it's REALLY HARD to justify investing in other platforms because of how damn cheap and accessorizable the venerable AR is. A decade ago a good AR was $1000+ but they just keep getting cheaper.
how did you get them to fit?
MVP is on the list...Plenty of rifles not on the list. This appear to all be semi-autos.
Others as examples, Mossberg MPV in .223 takes AR-15 mags and Ruger now makes a stock that takes an adapter for AR-15 mags for the Ruger American.

MVP is on the list...
Still a bad idea though.

Czechpoint VZ58 5.56 is that MD legal??
How do you like the 5.56? Are there a lot of parts besides the barrel itself that aren't common to the M43 variant?100% got mine from Duffys
