    I agree starting from scratch doesn't make sense. Joe H's design showed promise as it worked initially. Joe L. said the problems began to show up on the third or fourth load. The question is what is changing from a cold gun to a hot gun. The ZB follower also pinches the round towards each other. I would like to start with a new follower design and incorporate that into the zb mag. Machining new followers is a much less costly under taking esp being we have a CNC. I am not here to make money just feed the toys.

    What is the width difference of the Lahti Saloranta LMG 20rnd 7.62x53R Magazine and the Bren? I would like to see the follower and do some tinkering. Curious how it compares to the width of the Zb26/30 8mm mags too.


    Joe - I will have to pickup some Pittsburgh flights so I can give you a tour of the jet.
