Pfff. I did read the article, but I can't imagine how I missed that. Good grief. I must have been spacing out. Thernlund (Talk | Contribs) 16:12, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No biggie. Raygun 23:51, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox Drive for the Firearms Wikiproject

Hello Raygun. The Firearms Wikiproject is having an infobox drive. The purpose of this is to ensure that most (if not all) of the articles within our scope have the relevant infoboxes. The start date will be May 28th. If you choose to participate, go to our project page and pick an article under the To-do list's Infobox section or look for firearm articles that need an infobox. Before you start editing an article, please cross it out on the list so that we don't have editor's work clashing. The drive will last for five days. If you are interested, please RSVP to LWF. Thank you, the Firearms Wikiproject. --Seed 2.0 09:22, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

With regard to the SAR-21, the models used in the Singapore Armed Forces use a proprietary magazine. I'm not sure if those photographed are prototype models or if they are production models. Do you have a WP:RS which states that production models use STANAG magazines? --Rifleman 82 04:30, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've found an official ref which does say they can use stanag magazines, though it's a promotional brochure so I'm not certain if it's really a production model yet. --Rifleman 82 04:39, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That's likely where I would have pointed if you hadn't found it yourself (sorry I didn't cite it for you). Doesn't get much more official. Incidentally, it looks like the Tavor TAR-21 falls into the same boat. I'm pretty sure the initial production used STANAG mags, but now it look like they use Galil-type rock-and-lock mags. I'll see if I can dig up some refs to back that up and add it to the page. Raygun 07:47, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
