Do the new kits work with original magazines?

Would the new barrel liner work with an original breech block?
Or are they a unique kit?

Thanks

The short answer is yes Roy, though all component parts are changed and modified from the original, (in qualitive terms, they are streets ahead) each element will work with original component parts.

Roy,

The good news is, and something on John and my wishlist was that...............they work and cross match to any H&K pieces as well as the old magazines. As you can see from the images the magazine disassembled. This one part to be re designed and manufactured took a great deal of time to ensure it fitted absolutely correctly and work with previous kits.
So in short you could just buy a magazine from Peter, and he would stand by its reliablility.
Next week I will put a bit of video up.
I fired 50 x ELEY .22 rounds as I had run out of CCI MiniMags, it proved even at low power it through the working parts back well. Fired 50 rounds with only two ejected, that had been struck.
I then removed the Armalon/H&K parts and fired 50 x GGG 7.62 rounds with no stoppages whatsoever on straight pull.
So many people disbelieved me, I decided to show a video next week............wait out!!
