Quick AR mag question

· Supreme ChancellorMar 27, 2006 4:58am
Brought up in a discussion with a friend and a quick google search didnt net me any 100% answers. Are the Mini-14 magazines and AR type magazines interchangable. Basically, are they the same thing?

Design is very similar, but the angle of the magazine won't let them interchange. Sorry. :(

they can work but they don't fit perfectly the angle is a little off i own a mini 14.

yes i have you just have to make sure you keep the m16 mag at an angle or it wont feed. but i have not put a mini 14 mag in an m16 so i don't know about that. but my guess would be that it would work.
