Can anyone point me a single shot adapter the would fit in an AR15 magazine well?

I'd like to try some longer than mag length loads in Debs' Mossberg MVP, but you can't close the bolt on an empty mag.

USA (Brownells) are the cheapest

Need one adding to my next order?

Thanks very much, I'll hang on to see if someone has one taking up space first

What type of mags are you using? If they have anti-tilt followers you should still be able to close the bolt. Remember the amount of force required will be significantly greater than under normal operation as you also have to overcome the pressure of the magazine spring as well.

Mossberg MVP bolts are designed to not close on an empty mag....no, I don't know why, but its in their manuals.

glue a dummy round to the follower of a mag?

I don't think it will work due to the design of the bolt, it will try and pick up the round in the mag although I'm going to have a play to see if I can make something.

Thanks all.

I don't know whether it would work in an AR15 mag, but for my RPR PMAG, a section of 20mm (or thereabouts) plastic pipe cut to the same length as a round and then cut along it's length and fitted into the magazine works very well.

Hope these links work.

I cannot see the images however I am sure to have some 20mm aluminium pipe here if you want a bit to play with Al.

Funnily enough I bought one of these from a forum member.
It is a Brownells one and works superbly well in my MVP.
