Is there an AR-15 magazine that can be welded?
Thanks

Maybe the HK magazines. I believe those are steel. Quite expensive if you can find them too.

There are steel magazines so I imagine you can weld them. Here's some stainless ones for $12.99

As mentioned there are steel mags, however even aluminum mags can be welded with the appropriate technique.
What are you trying to accomplish?

I was thinking about making a metal display stand.

there are plenty of steel ones around... elander might be only current production that is less than $20, but if you walk a gun show could probably find some steel ones cheap, many aren't worth a crap.

If you are looking for a way to hold your rifle in place while you clean it or work on it, consider this:

I've got the Magpul one that locks into the barrels lugs. Very handy.

You can weld just about anything.
