I'll probably sound like an idiot...but how hard would it be to fabricate a 15, 20, 25, or 30 round magazine for a .243/.308 type Remington 740/742/7400/750 rifle series. I've seen 10 round mags online from anywhere between 19$ and 32+. I'd like to get a 10 round mag too...but the vast majority of them on the market right now appear to be junk.

I've even considered the possibility of finding a magazine with close enough dimensions and then having the top of the stock magazine frankensteined onto it so I could keep the bolt hold-open.

I'd also like to know if anybody here could possibly make one, and how much it would cost.
