The magazine/clip
Being an Airsoft, the magazine does not have the magazine release button on the top or any stamping underneath. The first pic shows the top after removing the power cylinder setup.. I had to do some smoothing. Being an Airsoft, the magazine does not have the magazine release button on the top or any stamping underneath. Sculpting a new button with all the details is a bit more than I was up for, so I purchased a replica from BF. Since the magazine is welded to the frame, I'll just have to live with it being plain. I guess there are worse things in life, lol. The last pic is an actual Sterling mag I used on my last build (for reference).
I really lucked out on the clip! It looks as if the last builder went all out and added a real Sterling clip cut down to length. BONUS!
Side note: When I first popped out the clip I noticed the inside, and for a second I thought "Holy cow, this thing is LOADED" but then realized that those are the rollers that push the bullets up. Duhhh.
