I see that the M14 mag doesn't have locking lugs that extend greatly as seen on, for example, AK mags.
I wonder, could a rifle be built with a magwell that can take M14 mags UNMODIFIED utilizing an AR style "straight lock" design.
Armalite has ar-10's that take modified m14 mags, which lead me to believe that the initial idea of simply using unmodified m14 mags was a failure. However, if Bushmaster and Rock River got away with using FAL mags in their 308 rifles with out having to "rock and lock" them, why couldn't it be done with M14 mags?
