Double feed is a name for a jam, yes, but there are single and double feed mags. Former feeds only from the center, latter feeds from either side, alternating.
only time you have to push down on the follower and feed it under the lips is on a single stack mag
single and double stack
damn near every pistol made today is a double stack, the 1911 is about the only single stack mag except for ruger 22's
Only double stack pistol that you don't have to slide back is the Five-seveN. Everything else I've ever seen that's double stack only feeds from the center.
Glock
S&W M&P
2011 1911
virtually all double stacks
All double column (double stack) single feed magazines. Got to push down and then slide back.
all magazines are single feed
Nope. AR15, AK, etc.
every magazine on earth is a single feed
Nope.
lol ok
do you know what a double feed jam is?
Look at the feed ramps in an AR15 upper. Got one on the right one on the left. It feeds from both sides. Double feed.
Yes, this is the same phrase used to talk about something else.
feed ramps? the feed ramps are on the receiver, not on the magazine
Yes. And there are two feed ramps, M4 or non, because it's a double-column double feed type magazine.
It feeds from both sides, vs only feeding from one side or the center.
the only feed ramps on any AR are on the upper receiver
and they are M4 or none at all
the magazine has lips
and it's a double stack magazine
Right. But the feed ramps on a firearm have to be designed to accomodate the magazine design, yes or no?
it feeds left and right, hence why your feed ramps are on both sides of the receiver
Bro, there are still feed ramp in pre-/non-M4 AR uppers.
bullshit there are
Right. And that's not SINGLE feed, because it feeds in more than one place.
Bullshit there aren't. Look at the barrel extension on one. They're not as LONG as the M4 ramps, but there are ramps.
the extension has ramps, not the receiver on non M4
Right. But those ramps in the extension are ramps.
no shit but they are on the extension, not the receiver
They made the ramps longer due to faster cycling in the M4.
Your point is irrelevant. Where the ramps are doesn't matter. There are two feed ramps in an M16A1.
they made ramps due to using longer bullets, hence heavier bullets
the 55gr doesn't need them
lol OK
