ProxyMag AK-74M/101 Magazine V1.2.1 (Aesthetic Update): Laffs Dynamics

First 3DP dual caliber AK platform magazine, for use in AKs chambered in 5.45x39, or 5.56x45 NATO. Caliber changes are quick via swapping
out the follower. Floorplate, baseplate, locking tab, and magazine body are the same between calibers.

Has the same strong, separately printed locking tab used in the Waco Waffle and Slabslav series of Laffs Dynamics AKM magazines.

Weapons Tested In:

1x WBP Mini Jack 5.56 AK Pistol (Polish Import)
1x M+M M10 5.45 AK Rifle (Romanian Import)
1x PSAK-74 AK Rifle (American Production)

UPDATE V1.2.1: Reduced designer's logo size, added reinforcement ribs to the frontal curved section of the magazine body. Added updated CAD and render
images to the data pack.

The logo was too large on the initial design release; originally it was only that large for the beta testing models, and I had forgotten to reduce it
during the after-beta / pre-release phase. The reinforcement ribs in this update are not actually needed for structural integrity of the magazine body, I
added it for aesthetic appeal, similar to Bulgarian AK-74 Slabside and Russian AK-100 series magazines. It *technically* DOES strengthen the design though...

Epoxy or Clear Gorilla Glue

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) Polish Beryl, WBP- 5.56/223, Promag AK-74, and Wolff mag springs are compatible with the ProxyMag.
