Mag couplers

[Letfreedomring]

Is it just me being a cheapskate or is it ridiculous to charge almost $20 (tax+ship) for 1 pmag coupler? Seems like with the advent of 3d printers these things would drop to closer to what they cost to make. Has anyone made their own? It would be nice to have some on hand with the way the world is going to pot, but I guess the first thing I need to do is try to fish my gunz up from bottom of the lake...

I dislike couplers, they get in my way, they're extra weight, and I feel like its slower than conducting a mag change without retention. only slightly faster than a mag change with retention.

BUT If I were to do such a thing, we would be on the same page. Paying for couplers is ridiculous, and theyre all overpriced. Instead, I would do something like this:

No spacer, staggered mags taped together reversed.

All you need is some good tape.


Other option?

brass up on same side, spacer in between. I've seen spent brass used, I've seen cardboard, I've seen chunks of plastic and wood.
you attach spacer,

put the mags together,

Do it again, and tape both mags together.

Or, if the guys in the locker room call you tripod because your "little fella" is better used as a third leg, you just use a magazine as a spacer, cause you are the true total unit.

A cut down #2 pencil is what I have used. Works great!
