Coffin Mag

Marv found a great deal on an ATI Schmeisser S-60 magazine.

As the name might imply, it's a 60-round magazine.

A 60-round AR magazine.

Fully loaded with S&B 55gr FMJ it tips the scales at 2 lb. 3 oz.  Empty it's 9.5 oz.

Compare that to a loaded PMAG-40 (69gr SMK) at 1 lb. 7.3 oz. or a PMAG-30 (M855) at 1 lb. 1.8 oz.

Two of the Schmeissers have 120 rounds and are 4 lb. 6 oz.
Three of the PMAG-40's have 120 rounds and are 4 lb. 5.9 oz.
Four of the PMAG-30's have 120 rounds and are 4 lb. 7.2 oz.

It's just a teeny bit longer than a PMAG-40:

It's a LOT wider...

He's fired exactly zero rounds through it, so we have no idea how reliable it's going to be.  Stay tuned!
