Converting ICS hicap mag to real cap

[KoolAidMan]

Is there any way i could turn 2 ics hi cap mags into real caps?

The outer shells of the magazines are larger then your average stagnag mags from any other brand and are the size of the real steal versions but I'm not 100% sure since i can't compare .

thanks

You can do anything if you put your mind to it.

However, at the cost of $10 for metal mags which are 30-68 rounds, is your time worth less than $20?

Go buy real mags. Sell the crappy hi-caps.

I'm trying to sell them for so i can get a box of Star real caps but no one wants them.

so i though i would just convert them and get the stars as well

Meh, it would probably cost you more in the long run in parts, material, and time than it would to outright purchase new mags.

Still, it could be a fun hobby project if nothing else.

Step 1: Throw hicaps in the garbage.
Step 2: Buy real/mid caps.

Not too many people want hicap mags. You're better off just keeping them as backup and getting the mags you want.

I tend to use my hicaps (I have 3 of them) at home when testing work on a gun. It's easier to just pour a bunch of BBs into a mag and wind it to test a gun than to go through the hassle of loading up my low caps.

I've even seen people using them as BB storage for on the field. It's a bit loud unless it's jammed full though and you'd still need a loader but it's more compact than a bottle and more resilient than the bag.

I guess you could gut a hicap and line the inside with duct tape to make it rattle less.

Ditto....that's all they're good for IMO. It's nice to have a mag ready with a bunch of 0.20's (I don't regularly use that weight for anything else).

When you're looking at feeding issues with an AEG/mags...if the AEG is working right, very few guns will misfeed with a wound up HiCapa (helps pin down problematic mags).

ye they came handy the other night for chronoing since most guys use an m4 or something the uses stagnag mags

Wow, you really are a crazy gundoctor, loading your gun with another gun(pistol)!
