A while back, I bought a used Orlite magazine for the express purpose of recreating the picture from the Twilight: 2000 Small Arms Guide.
The ribs on the body of the magazine had been ground off, conventional wisdom says that this is because those ribs prevent the magazine from fully locking.
Except I bought a brand new one to check this and it fits in ALL of the AR-15's at my disposal.
Now I am not certain why they were ground off.
I found an old, archived, thread from Arfcom that warned against grinding them off because the feed lips would rid too high and cause the bolt to chew up the none-too-sturdy feed lips.
I bought it for the LOLs, not for serious use so I can give that a check!
