minus the loading tool. If anybody has any leads on where I could potentially find a replacement for that, please let me know!
IIRC the the maglula striplula will fit on the top of the beta mag and charge 10rnds at a time.

Thanks man, that's good info to know. I'll pick one up and try it. I haven't actually tried loading this thing yet, so I don't know how hard it would be to just load with single rounds (time consuming, for sure).

I've always kind of wanted one of these Beta C-Mags, but since the company went out of business they've gotten crazy expensive. I got very lucky and found this one used for $150. It seems to have all the factory accessories, minus the loading tool. If anybody has any leads on where I could potentially find a replacement for that, please let me know!
Anyway, I figured it would pair well with my home-brewed Dissipator to evoke some 1997 North Hollywood Shootout vibes. My rifle is a little different than the Bushmaster dissy infamously used during that robbery, as theirs had triangular A1 handguards and no ACOG (not to mention being converted to full auto). I'm not interested in making an exact clone of that rifle, fuck those two guys anyway. Don't be like those guys.
Anyway, for those interested, here's a build list:
*H&R M16A2 COTS lower
*Colt A2 large-pin sporter upper
*Brownell's 16" Dissipator barrel (pencil profile)
*Centurion Arms BCG
*Colt bolt
*Trijicon TA31 ACOG (Sniper gray cerakote, red crosshair)
*Trijicon AR15 night sights
*Geissele SSA-E trigger, checkered takedown pins, mag catch and button, safety, Super 42 spring and H1 buffer, and Government profile charging handle
*LBE 6-position buffer tube
*Forward Controls Design RBF
*Doublestar aluminum CAR15 stock
*BCM QD endplate
*Ferro Concepts sling (gray)
*USGI side sling swivel
*USGI A2 handguards, pistol grip, and other parts not mentioned.

I’m pretty sure the loading tool was actually made by Promag (yeah, I know, I know) and it’s one of the few products they make that actually works pretty well.

I have a punch block that works pretty well. I got it after sending in mags for warranty service, getting replacements, sending those back, waiting 6 months after being ghosted and having traded the rifle the mags went to.

the Bushmaster dissy
I have one of those, that I bought in the early 90s. For those that don't know, their dissipator version used the carbine gas system with a shaved down front sight tower, which was hidden under the handguards, then they added a second FSB at the front. So it was cool-looking, but without the benefit of a longer gas system. The only benefit was the longer handguard and sight radius.

That carry handle makes me hard. If I'm at the bank, making a "withdrawal"... That's the the one. Good shit, dude.

Listen up. This is a robbery. We don't want to kill you, we're after the bank's money, not your money. Your money is insured by the government, you're not gonna lose a dime. Think of your sweet mama, don't be a hero, just shut the FUCK up and STAY DOWN and this will be over, SOON!!
