Actually the modification that is required on the mag will not render it unusable in an M16 / M4. You need to cut a matching slot at the front of the M16 mag that is in the same position as the famas mag as well as taking a small 1/4" piece from the back spine of the M16 mag (The back of the famas mag is flat)
The mod needed on the famas is just a little trimming inside the mag well that is virtually invisible with either famas or M16 mag inserted and both mags will still work in the originally intended gun
