Synthetic Magazines

[AFlyinfr1dge]

I went and put a black synthetic stock on my sporterized no4 mk1, so my metal magazine looks a little out of place. Does anyone know of any black synthetic 10 rd mags? I saw some metal 30 rd mags for a Bren, but even if it did fit, damn that's a lotta weight lmao

I’ve never seen a plastic Enfield magazine. Is there such a thing?

ProMag makes new steel Enfield magazines. I have one on my nickel plated sporter. It’s a bit flimsy. But for $25 it does the job.

You could coat exposed parts of a metal magazine in black plasti-dip, but it wouldn't be the most durable finish, but it would be easily reversible.

Vincent, idk if they do. Was seeing if anyone was more fortunate. lol
SentryDuty, how much would that run? And could I do it, or would I need a gun smith?

I think it would be less than $10 and if you can run a rattle can of spray paint you can plasti-dip.

It was a huge trend in the performance car world a few years ago, people were doing wheels, emblems etc etc.

Basically it is a liquid rubber/soft plastic coating that is reasonably durable, but non-permanent. If it gets ratty, or you don't like the result you can easily remove it. Look up youtube or google it to see what I mean.

It comes in aerosol and brush-on, and in a variety of colors.

Normally I won't think to use it in a firearms application unless I was looking to protect a plastic stock or something like that, but in the case of matching a plastic stock, it might be a good fit. If nothing else it would be a cheap thing if you didn't like the result.
