The critical measurement is not the length of the tab but rather the measurement from the top of the mag (where it mates with the receiver) and the bottom of the tab. These mags were designed to fit and feed firstly in the AIA rifle, and they do.
These mags are been used in a large variety of different” M14” type rifles, these rifles do show variations in quality and tolerances so we are not claiming they will work in every rifle out there. When I have checked any mags that have been returned they have always locked in place and activated the bolt catch when checked with a rifle in the store. When we have had a return I think the customer has returned all the mags he purchased rather than one out of a group making me suspicious that the problem may have been with the rifle. When we first received the shipment we checked fit function (including live firing) in the AIA, Norinco M305 (a short and long rifle from different production batches) my very old Springfield M1A and a Winchester M14 using IVI surplus ammo and had no problems.
The magazines should lock in tight, there should not be any up and down movement at the rear, if the rear of the mag will drop then FTF and failure to activate the bolt catch could be expected.
We have sold several thousand of these mags now and have had very few complaints and returns. If you read all the posts on this thread the general consensus is that they work well in the vast majority of rifles. It is possible that an odd mag has slipped through the production and is out of spec, these are mass produced not handmade. I don’t believe we have had a mag returned that was measurable out of spec or we would have reported that to the manufacture so we in turn could claim a replacement.
Please check our warranty policy, we will refund for any item if returned in original condition if we are contacted within 7 days of you receiving the order for a return authorization number. If you file or alter the magazine in any way we will not accept it’s return.
What's the eta on more of these?

Is this deal still going on for 5+ magazines?
It would appear so: https://www.wolverinesupplies.com/Pr...ne%2C-10-Round
From the above linked ad on Wolverine site:
I do note a misprint on their ad where they mention havinng to possibly pin them to 10 rounds if you make the hole for the op spring. I suspect they mean five.Purchase 5 or more magazines for $55 each. Please note that the price will be adjusted once the order is received at the store.
From their ad:
These mags are not M14 mags as they do not have the square hole in the front for the end of the M14 operating spring guide to fit into. This hole is not required in these mags for them to fit an M14 type rifle. It has been correctly pointed out that to make that hole in these mags could put you into the position of possessing a prohibited device, unless you permanently blocked them to a ten rd capacity.
Mine fit and function perfectly. Ten rounds. No hole cutting/drilling required, just plug and play.
One of my guns these mags don't function well!! But the factory mags run 100%
