Yes, standard AR-15 10, 20 & 30 round mags will fit the Sport. The Sport has the same dimensional specs as all other AR-15's so rails, mounts, hand guards, etc. will fit it also.

No problem, that's what we are here for, to learn and share knowledge.

I just bought some 20 rd mags that have the 10 rd limiters installed but the base plate is still removable making it easy to convert the mags to 20 rds if I move out of state.
If you don't mind me asking, how much were those mags? I can get 10 round metal mags from Midway or 44mag.com for $11.50 on sale...pretty much the same price as a 30-round USGI or a sale priced PMag. But all the limited-20 or 30 round mags are $20 and up.
Also, I've been told and read that if you can convert it back to hi-cap it's still illegal in CA, so be careful to whom and where you mention that fact.

Hi...a newbie here. Are the pmags on sale at Palmetto Armory in desert tan (temporarily out of stock rite now) the right ones for the 15 Sport?
Thanks, Pete
No Sport yet, but looking !

Any AR mag will work with the sport. The only ones I'd avoid are Thermold 10 round mags. I had no luck with any of the eight I bought. All had weak springs that failed to load the 9th or 10th round. I later learned that it a known problem with the10 rounders.

I have the Thermold 20's and they seem to be bullet proof and I use them all the time....If the 10 round Mags weren't so darned expensive (other than thermold) I would use them for my primary hunting mags, but they are ridiculously expensive and I dont have a clue why. As you know I have quite a few 30's but just to go out shooting I prefer the smaller. When I get rich and famous I will get some 10's but until then I guess I will make do. LOL

I buy converted PMags that started out as 20 rounders and now are blocked to be 15 rounds.

Another good place to get the PMAGS is Botach.com. If you search thru Slickguns.com there may be a coupon code to for them.

I've read CA's assault weapons ban and it only says "able to hold more than 10 rounds". With the limiter installed it is unable to hold more than 10 but with the limiter removed (and you will need another release base) it can hold more than 10. It's a gray area and I'm assuming that if caught with a 20 rd mag with a 10 rd limiter it would be ok if the limiter is installed when you are questioned. The ban also says no "folding or telescoping stocks" but the CA compliant Sport I have has the telescoping stock and a threaded flash hider. The Sport was sold to me by a sporting goods store in CA.
Anyway, back to your question, the 20 rd mags with 10 rd limiters were selling for $18 ea. They're the PMAG's.
The bullet button pretty much has eliminated the CA AR ban. As long as you're not shooting a listed lower you can have pretty much anything on your EBR. Which is why that doofus senator from SF is trying to ban them.
The LGS I bought my Sport from is also selling a CA-compliant SIG 556 with a folding stock. It's a little too industrial looking and feeling for my taste, though. Haha. I've even seen CA-compliant FN P90s (PS90) for sale on riflegear.com.

I looked at the SIG before buying the Sport. It was a bit too bulky for me although it does look like a no nonsense weapon. I chose the Sport because I also have the 15/22 and like the simplicity of it and its natural AR looks.
