10 Round AIA Enfield/M14 Magazines.

Companies ran out an sourced AR mags. One Even produced their own 10 round Pistol mag.

You would think someone would get on this over the last 3 years and get it done. You would sell 1000's of them. Hell, I would even go out and buy 5 or 10 M305s if I could use 'New' and 'Improved' AIA Mags.

5 rounds of .308 suck....10 or more would be heaven.
 
wait, legal 10 rounders in M14s?

Where was I when this happened?

I took 1 magazine looked at it went hmm this looks almost the same wonder if it will fit. I had the AIA first then I just stuck it in and went hey it does work...

The AIA has no guide rod hole which helps hold the magazine in the mag well in the M14. It also has a cut in the back at a 45 degree angle and is slightly smaller were the metal catch on the back. It was to help hold it in and to make it fit the AIA rifle better. So it was designed and manufactured for the AIA rifle only. 1 company was going to get a company to make them but Sandy came along and destroyed the company so 1 AIA magazine was lost because of it. They needed an orginal magazine to make it exactly the same and only for the AIA rifle. It might of worked in a M14 as well but it wasn't designed or manufactured to. With the XCR magazines they actually made them the same but made a pistol one and a rifle one.

Jeepers, how old was that quoted post LOL
It's been "awhile" and still no email from marstar.
Wish someone there could let us know if more mags or rifles for that matter, are coming for sure or if it's just a "maybe stay tuned"
John? Frank? :D :D
 
When I asked them about an extra mag for my AIA a couple months ago, they said they weren't getting anymore anything AIA. I'm hoping somebody goes 3rd party with this, there's definitely a market for it. Otherwise I'm afraid were SOL

Trying to get the contact to buy Direct from Australia is a huge pain in the rear apparently the magazines are 90 austrailian before shipping so they're not cheap and they can't keep up with local demand.... Plus the price went way up too....

Well 90 australian is like 85 canadian. If we get the mags for 100 a piece its still less than half the price of those on the EE. But I would prefer these at the less than 50 mark lol.
 
looking at this another way, if m14 mags fit the AIA rifle , why doesn't a company sell 10 rnd m14 mags as AIA mags ?
maybe a new floor plate that says for the AIA rifle, and If it happens to fit an M14 will what a surprise!

Because they're designed and manufactured for both and would be 5 only. The magazine is differen't in 2 ways no guide rod hole and 2 the back notch is a little smaller and has a 45 degree angle on it. As for 20 rounds if you read the law it says a Lee Enfield rifle can't be over 10 rounds meaning since it's sort of the same rifle to bad so sad.

I'm not sure if what you say is 100% correct. Example the Indian Ishapore 7.62 NATO calibre version of the Lee Enfield rifle. Apparently it can accept up to twelve rounds in the magazine and I've yet to hear of Canadian gun regulations connected to it's full capacity.

I have not read that part of law that singles out some bolt action rifles for mag limits. Is this a new change? I would like to read this law...

It's not new it's in there because of the 25 round bren magazines that were also for the lee enfield so they put it in the law because people said well I'll just adapt my gun to fit it.

The simple fact that you refer to it as a "Bren" mag should indicate that it was "designed for" an autoloading gun, not a bolter.
BTW, the Bren mag holds 30, but is recommended to hold 28.
