L96A1 / AI PM Questions

[Roy W]

Quest 1.
Yesterday I had a 1985 PM in my hands. The magazine for which was longer and thinner than the L96/AW mags, and not interchangeable.

The front of the mag was plugged with plastic, and pinned through the sidewalls. The magazine follower, and spring, were shorter than the mag length.

Clearly this was an early rifle, and production models later changed the size and shape of the mag well.

My question is, does anyone know what Mag was used, and whether they were completely custom made, or adapted from another, with follower and spring from a smaller mag?

I didn't get any photos unfortunately but will next time.

Quest 2.
Does anyone have close up photos of the front sight assembly of the L96A1, along with dimensions of the bottom half?

Likewise a decent close up photo of the rear iron sight?

Many thanks

Roy
