Fixed and Detachable magazines for Rifles?

Paul Maymi: a detachable magazine hence detachable means you can simply press a button on the side of the rifle and the magazine falls out and you just slide a new loaded mag in rifles that take a detachable mag are AR15 and AK47 type rifles. a fixed magazine is what you would find in most old military bolt action rifles which means you pullback the bolt on the rifle and pull out 5 rounds in a stripper clip out in on top of the magazine and push the bullets down into the mag take off the empty stripper clip and push the bolt forward and loads the first round. that takes some practice the type of rifles with fixed mags are most which you would think of as "sniper" rifles.this is a rifle that uses a detachable mag a AR15http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ps4-Y-YZ5e4

Vince Delarge: Fixed as cannot be removed.....like a common bolt action rifle. Detachable is just what the word means. AR-15's have detachable mags for quick reloading.

Spencer Heidtbrink: For the best a! nswers, search on this site https://shorturl.im/axy2OI think the model you're referring to is linked below. From the looks of it, the magazine is kept in by a bullet button. This is to conform with California Penal Code 30515, our "assault weapon" law. Pretty much if your semi-automatic centerfire rifle has a pistol grip, then you cannot have a detachable magazine. What a bullet button does is to prevent the removal of the magazine without the use of tools. With a bullet button on, in order to remove the magazine you just need to stick something inside the button hole, and then the magazine falls out like a normal magazine. It can also then have another magazine inserted like a a normal rifle. Incidentally, the California DoJ has never stated (and has refused to state) whether a bullet button will comply with CA PC 30515. So it's sort of a legal grey area. So the magazine is somewhat detachable, just with a bit more hassle. You could not legally remove the bullet button wit! hout changing some other aspect of the rifle. You could render! it single-shot so it is no longer semi-automatic. You could remove the pistol grip and replace it with the ugly "Monsterman Grip". You could get the M&P 22-15 version which is not a centerfire rifle. Or you could get some other rifle that complies with California law. There are a lot of good ones out there. Ruger Mini-14s are okay rifles, if just a bit pricey and slightly inaccurate. Saiga rifles are much more reliable than AR-15s, probably just as accurate as a factory SW M&P-15, and less expensive. Kel-Tec SU-16s are much more reliable than AR-15s, as accurate or better than a factory SW M&P-15, and less expensive. All these rifles can use detachable magazines without going through any loops. For a self-defense weapon, I'd definitely get any of these over an AR-15. Who wants to fumble a reload just because you wanted a "tactical" look? For plinking/range shooting then putting up with a bullet button is okay. Definitely a no-no for competition though where seconds in relo! ads count. Finally if you had gotten that M1A EBR, you'd also need to get a bullet button on that. So you didn't "dodge the bullet" so to speak....Show more

Lorine Helwick: fixed magazine is something perminantly attached to the rifle. to load it you would slide in individual rounds with the action open, or in some cases you'd have the rounds on a metal strip all lined up, and then simply push them all into the magazine.To unload some fixed magazine guns have a hinge floorplate. You open that and the rounds just fall out. Otherwise you have to work the action once per round and each will pop out.Detachable magazine means the whole magazine comes out. You handload the magazine, and the put the whole magazine in. This is benificial in that you can have 2 or 3 or 10 spare magazines loaded up, and simply drop the old one and put in a fresh one and you are ready to go.Even if you don't have a bunch of spares, you can unload the gun by removing the magazine and putting! it in your pocket (and then removing any round that may be in the cham! ber) then reload the gun by simply putting the magazine back....Show more

Donnell Nocella: This Site Might Help You.RE:Fixed and Detachable magazines for Rifles?What's the difference between the two types of magazines???

Jeannetta Gaffigan: It would be unthinkable these days to produce a military assault rifle without detachable magazines for rapid reloading. In sporting arms, the detachable magazine is just something else to lose, and you'll generally do best with a fixed box magazine with a droppable floorplate to allow you to dump your cartridges when you finish hunting. Fixed magazines with a fixed floorplate though are something of a pain to unload, since you have to cycle each round out individually....Show more

Luke Gacusan: Check out the guys on youbube search bullet button.Yes the fixed mag comes out....

Katheryn Skrobacki: Fixed and detachable do exactly what there names imply. Detachable are magazines that can be removed as it is normal op! eration and fixed can't be removed unless you take apart the gun and are loaded while in the gun either one round at a time or via stripper clips.
