Magpul’s Quad Stack Magazine

Beitrag von snakedocter » Di 8. Jun 2010, 18:00

Magpul has just filed a patent application (#20100126053) for a quad stack AR-15 compatible magazine.

The design is quite straight forward. A central partition separates two duel staggered round stacks. Two springs are used, a lower stronger spring and a weaker top spring, which are joined by spring slicer.

The magazine has a constant curve geometry. Interestingly, the transition area (16) is asymmetric in order to stagger rounds correctly.

The follower is very interesting. Two bails (58a and 58b) are spring loaded. When the follower is pushed against the central partition they part and reveal a hole which allows the follower to descend below the partition.

The patent does not reveal what the capacity of the magazine would be. I would expect it would be around 50 rounds.

The patent application comes on the heel of the announcement from Izmash that one of the major features of the AK-200 will be a 60 round quad stack magazine. It seems 2010 or 2011 may be the Year of the Quad Stack Mag!

A quad stack magazine would be ideal for the M27 IAR. I have no doubt that Magpul will eyeing a lucrative contract with the USMC.

Man darf mit Spannung erwarten, wie es mit der Zuverlässigkeit aussieht.
Die Magazine scheinen ja generell bei den M16 und Abkömmlingen eine der Hauptfehlerquellen zu sein und bishereige Hi-Cap Designs wie das C-Mag haben ja gerade im Wüstensand nicht so toll funktioniert.
