Strange AR-15 Magazine Spotted in Philipines
Updated: January 9th, 2013
A reader noticed this M16 magazine, being carried by a militiaman, in a video clip on Al Jazeera.
The magazine’s geometry is like none I can recall seeing. A couple of people suggested it could be a C-Products 7.62x39mm AR-15 magazine, but it is definitely not (see photo below).

Can anyone identify it? I think it is probably manufactured by the cottage gun industry in the Philippines.

I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

That is an AR15A2 lower with an AR15A1 upper.
Notice the rear sights.....

Actually it's quite ergonomic. It helps create a smaller silhouette in the prone position. You will hardly get anything snagged on it while running because your hands are actually gonna be on the gap. I'm from the Philippines and I actually have held one before.
