There are several manufacturers of true 10 round mags.
Those you are talking about are simply "loophole" products that are
pretty easy to convert to 20s.
Typically they just weld an extension on the follower that will break
right off (they did on my M1A mags), or you can get a new follower.

I wonder how many magazines Krause will render useless trying to do that.

My AR 20 mag has a rivet in the side to stop the follower. Plastic mag,
could probably just punch out the brass rivet.

Might be a delicate operation on a plastic magazine. Grinding the head
off and pushing the rivet out might be safer.

Even so, they're still longer than the five rounders and will stick out
the bottom of the rifle. Unless the zombies attack, I'll stick with the
shorter mags.

Whatever you like, I was just pointing out the 10 round mags are
available. I actually like the 30 rd for my M1A. It works as a rest on
the bench. I have no problem controlling my rate of fire.

I don't, either. I just like to be slow and methodical about shooting
off ammo that costs more than a quarter a round. The small magazines and
the time taken to load them helps.

Kind of paradoxical for the guy who doesn't mind ****ing away dollar
after dollar on diesel fuel for his (imaginary?) boat that goes nowhere.

I don't need that distraction. I usually load up 3 30s and I still
shoot them pretty slow.
On days when it is not crowded and you can move around I will shoot
some at 100 and some at 200. When I was getting my scope dialed in I
started at 50. I really hate the GI mount and I am thinking about
getting another system for it.
I just have a hard time justifying it for a gun I don't really shoot
that often.
