Waco Waffle Hunter AK Magazine V1.1.1: Laffs Dynamics

A 10rd variant of the Waco Waffle Tanker.

Features a reinforced "waffle" style ribbed magazine body, HEAVILY inspired by Arsenal (Bulgarian) Circle 10 "Waffle" mags.
Has a thickened baseplate to absorb impacts from drops, an anti-friction follower, and a separately printed rear locking
lug.

This design also allows the use of AR-15 magazine springs via alternate follower and floorplate versions, for Western
(North American countries) builders; as AR-15 magazine springs are often cheaper and easier to acquire.


Tested with:

* Palmetto State Armory PSAK-47 GF3, Domestic
* Zastava ZPAP M70, Serbian Import


Two follower and floorplate versions are available:

*Standard: AK spring usage.
*AR: AR-15 spring usage, labeled on each part.

Shares most identical parts usage with the original 3FTech Revo1ution AK Magazine. (Baseplate is the exception.)


Update V1.1.1: Raised rear locking lug by .4mm, shaved the rear of the feed lips by .5mm to allow for easier insertion
into tighter AK magwells.

Hardware Needed:

1x 10rd Length AK Mag Spring

1x 10rd Length AR-15 Mag Spring (OPTIONAL)

(See NOTES below for options for acquiring mag springs)



Parts Installation:

1) Apply cyanoacrylate adhesive inside the pocket for the rear locking lug. If the rear locking lug is slightly loose
in the pocket, apply Clear Gorilla Glue. Wait 24hrs for the adhesive to cure.

2) Insert the rear locking lug, with the angled facet facing outwards, and down towards the mag body's base.

3) Lightly sand the anti-friction follower's sides and curved spine.

4) Slide the top of the magazine spring through the front of the follower, above the spring retention tab.

5) Attach the floorplate to the bottom of the magazine spring, making sure the first spring winding snaps over the
retainers.

6) Slide the internal spring assembly into the magazine body.

7) Depress the floorplate, and slide on the baseplate. The floorplate's locking tab must index with the channel in the
baseplate.



Notes:

1) Bulgarian, Korean, and US based Magpul springs have been tested.

2) A 30rd AK mag springs cut in half will create two 20rd springs. (If that math doesn't make sense to you, often 40rd AK
mags use 30rd mag springs.)

3) Cheapo Korean 10rd mags have been found to have longer springs than Magpul dedicated 20rd mags. Harvesting the springs
from these mags are an alternative method for hardware acquirement if 30rd or 20rd mag springs are unable to be secured.

4) Bulgarian Slabside Polymer AK mag followers, floorplates, and baseplates are compatible with the Waco Waffle series of
magazines.



Accreditations:

Cultivated Laser: Discovered ALL Bulgarian Slabside mag internals are compatible with the Waco Waffle Series of AKM mags.
