September 2, 20169 yr #29 This thread is bringing back a bad, sad, memory. In 1975 at Offutt AFB I was back at the Armory after my annual qualifying with the M16 to clean and return the rifle. There was a barrel in the Armory full of Waffle magazines. they were going out to be scrapped. Never gave it a thought at that time. It first came back to me a few years later looking at an add in the Sarco flyer. They were selling off surplused waffle magazines for, (at that time), seemed to be a ridiculous price. Wish I'd bought them all now.
September 3, 20169 yr #31 My brother put together a tutorial on M16 magazines in 1999 on Biggerhammer.net. This was before AR15/M16 stuff got really hot. It's still a good guide, and you can see what prices were like 17 years ago... http://www.biggerhammer.net/ar15/magazines/rawlesfaq.html Here's another link to manufacturers: http://www.biggerhammer.net/ar15/magazines/makerinfo.html David Albert dalbert@sturmgewehr.com
September 3, 20169 yr Author #32 Yes,I've seen and copied the info. Great,and thanks to your brother! 90.00 for a Waffle was still a LOT back then.
September 3, 20169 yr Author #34 Do you think it is possible we may have to surrender these if THEY intact a ban on 20-30 round mags? In Wi. there is no restrictions.
