Alpo Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 HOW many M14 magazines you can get in a 50 caliber can? 10 fills up a 30 caliber can real good, and nine is all you can get in a Harbor freight plastic 30 caliber can. But every time I think I have found all of mine, I come across a couple more. And since I have a couple of empty fifties, I was thinking about moving them out of the 30s and toINTO the 50s. And yes, I can just take himTHEM out of the 30s and put them in the 50 and see if they fit, but if somebody already knows whether or not I can get x amount in there, then I don't have to do it. Lazy people pick other people's brains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Shapiro Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Well, I don't have any of those magazines, nor the can. So I can't help you with this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Dan Troop 70448 Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Good question and since you have a 50 caliber ammo can, which I don't, let me know since I have mine in 2, 30 caliber cans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 And there might be a “best” way to fill them BUT the ARMY WAY is to use 30 caliber cans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 I've no idea what M14 mag dimensions are. My 5.56 and .50 cal cans have identical dimensions which are: 5.625"W x 11"L x 7"D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted April 8, 2022 Author Share Posted April 8, 2022 Okay, I just tried. 16, with a bunch of wasted space. And since I appear to have 21, I will put 10 each in two GI 30s, and stick the other one in the rifle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted April 8, 2022 Author Share Posted April 8, 2022 I was thinking the same thing. After I got burgled a couple of years ago I thought I only had four, but they kept appearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T.K. Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Since you guys are finding all these "extra" mags, if you don't want to mess with the fifty cans I'll gladly take you extras mags and give them a good home! I have plenty of .50 cal ammo cans...even here in Kaliforny! Thanks Pards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He lives in Kaliforny so he can't have either one of them. Ammo cans are the gateway drug to high capacity magazines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
