All the magaizines I've got (including those in the pic) have tops angled up about 20° to 21°, so I think it's the wadcutter's lips being parallel that holds the cartridge at a shallower angle (about 22° as opposed to about 26° for the hybrid). The tapered lips also allow the rim to rise up on the breechface more as the cartridge is being stripped from the magazine.Originally Posted by tenx
Have you seen any other lip configurations?

Here's a pic illustrating the words in Post #31: http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p...070001ctxt.jpg
The angles were measured using the same cartridge to avoid errors due to that sort of stuff (different rim dia., etc.)
The part number for the Colt magazine in the previous pic was for the stainless steel model, so it was erased. This pic's got the P/N for the 7 round blued mag.

Good pictures.
Those are the only three lip configurations that I have seen.

I suppose blowing $100 or so at a big gun show to get a single example of every ersatz magazine available would turn up a few strange ones that don't quite fit in these 3 categories. But . . .
. . . I've got better things to waste $100 on!
