I had a friend die tragically. He had an extensive collection of military rifles. Hundreds of magazines were stored at random in several places. I spent 5 hours matching up mags with rifles today. I ended up with magazines with no rifles and rifles with no magazines. Does anyone know of a website with a sketch of magazines and what they fit? I think all were .223 or .308 or 7.62 X39.
Post pictures of the magazines and we'll try to help you sort it out.
Best, Thomas.

Just kidding.

This is cruel! I can't stand the suspense! :)
Sorry for the loss of your friend. Hopefully some of the knowledgeable people here can help you match up the magazines to guns.
I know this is killing me. What's better than a gun matching puzzleQuote:

Most 308 magazines are about the same width (unsurprisingly) - if it's very wide I'd suspectQuote:

But not impossible take the Tigr (Dragunov) 308 (thick plastic)
vs metal 7.62x54

Rather than redesign the rifle they just made a magazine to take
up the slack in the mag well.
Even in the Dragunov 7.62x54 there are differences

If it's for a rimmed or tapered cartridge it will have a curve to it as well.
like the AK-47 for the tapered 7.62x39 cartridge.
