sekiryu Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 I managed to modify my TM AUG's magwell to fit Type 89 mags. The process will probably be a little bit different with regular M16 mags. 1. Remove everything. 2. Cut a notch (as needed to your mag's specs) here. 3. Cut these so the mag will actually fit. 4. Cut off the back half of the top magwell piece, and trim off the tab on the front (the one with the foam glued to it). Like so. 5. Remove the foam insert that's at the back of the magwell. 6. Cut a notch where needed on the back of the M16 mag so the mag catch will engage (haven't actually done that). 7. The magwell piece (what the hell is that called anyway?) will need to be moved back just far enough for the M16 mag to feed. It would probably be a good idea to glue it in place. And: Fits nice and snug, although it usually takes a little angling/smacking to get the mag to seat. Link to post Share on other sites
Endospore Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 Awesome, I've always wanted a STANAG AUG. Looks like I'll have to buy that JG now Link to post Share on other sites
Victory Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 This might be a stupid question (with me, you never know), but can it still use AUG mags? -Vic Link to post Share on other sites
sekiryu Posted May 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 It doesn't seem like it can. The front end of the AUG mag doesn't want to seat properly. Link to post Share on other sites

sekiryu Posted May 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 I also forgot to mention, you have to depress the mag catch for the mag to go in. Link to post Share on other sites
Endospore Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 You could probably fix that. I don't have an AUG sitting here to look at, but that sounds like an easy fix (it's just a matter of finding it lol). Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 Just a quick one, if you move the feed tube back a bit to line up with the top of the T89 mag the other side of the feed tube won't line up with the hole in the bottom of the hop properly and will lead to mis-feeds. Have you had any problems with that? Link to post Share on other sites
TerranCmdr Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 I was going to ask the same question. Link to post Share on other sites
Bengali Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 i too was going to ask that, but i dont think seki's AUG is actually a working one so i doubt he's test fired it yet Link to post Share on other sites
Matthias Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 thats what I was thinking as well, maybe some more modification to the magwell could let the M16 mag move up so that piece could stay. Link to post Share on other sites

dismemberd Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 So, can we get some more pics with thw whole gun assembled? Do you have enough parts to get the whole thing assembled? Link to post Share on other sites
Fellowz Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 will this work for a SRC XM8? i'm desperate to fit m4 mags into it to save space. Link to post Share on other sites
sekiryu Posted May 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 XM8? I think the XM8 uses the same magwell as the G36, which means you could just buy that STANAG magwell conversion (forgot who makes it). So, can we get some more pics with thw whole gun assembled? Do you have enough parts to get the whole thing assembled? I kinda gutted the gearbox........ Link to post Share on other sites

rugrat Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 i wonder... would this work? widening the aug magwell with a dremel, then getting an old cheapo m4, cutting off the bottom of the magwell and putting it inside the aug magwell? just wondering Link to post Share on other sites
my_plague_666 Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 They are completely different guns you know? For a start one is bullpup and one isn't... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> yes they are different guns, but why does it being bullpup matter? all that means is that the mag is in a different place Link to post Share on other sites
Bengali Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 yes they are different guns, but why does it being bullpup matter? all that means is that the mag is in a different place <{POST_SNAPBACK}> no it wont work with the XM8, for a start the main reason its possible with the AUG (maybe) is that the Mags are much the same size, so the only real problem is feeding the XM8 however has a one piece body to the Private parts magwell convesion is out. and the mags are a log bigger, so a stanag conversion would mean substantially shrinking the magwell with could be done with thin layers of ABS inside the magwell but then you have to figure out a way to lock the magazine in place and have a working release mech. just because its modding a gun to fit the same mag, doesn't mean its not a whole other ball game Link to post Share on other sites

DarkLite Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 Couldn't you just get an AUG mag, gut it and cut the top off and rig it up to let a m4 mag sit inside? Then you'd not need to mess about with the permanent mods to the magwell. Link to post Share on other sites
