To be honest the mini 30 magazine isnt really different looking than a 5.56 magazine the curvature is a bit different because of 7.62x39 but it isnt drastically different because mini 14 and pretty much all 7.62X39 rifles that use AR-15 type magazines are like that. Mini 30 Mini 14 And just because AR-15 7.62x39 AR-15 5.56
