Attack, The kit comes with one shortened M-14 low cap mag that fits snug to the base of the gun. (hangs down about 1/4") barely noticeable in the gun. This can be used as a template for converting others if the owner so desires. The shortened mags are only 12 to 14 rounds, which is still better then the 8 round mags for the Gas Garand. Good news is they fit nicely in the Garand pouch web belts.

In addition to the shortened mag, obviously regular, low cap or high cap mags can also be used which clearly isn't right visually but functionally works fine. He leaves the shortened mag in for pictures and he says that he uses low caps when skirmishing. It may not look right but he's okay with the compromise. I would be too.
