10 round Ishapore Enfield .308 mag in M305?

[howard2]

As the 10 Enfield magazines are legal in the Enfield rifle, will a Ishapore Enfield .308 magazine fit in a M305 and be legal?

 

[HeadDamage]

it will not fit.

 

[sunray]

Nope. Totally different mag. Ishapore 2A/2A1 mags are new made but modified No. 1 Mk III mags.

 

[Tomochan]

Would be legal but won't fit.

 

[howard2]

need one of those AIA mags then? Cant seem to find any of those?

That's right. You're getting it now.

...and apparently those mags are super-spendy, like over $100. Not because they're titanium nitrided, either

Would be nice if a manufacturer here would make some AIA mags for a reasonable cost.

Would be nice wouldn't it...... LOL
That exact comment has been made by countless people, countless times, over the past 4 or 6 years
None of our canadian manufacturers seem to have the will or deep enough pockets to make it happen.
If it hasn't already happened..... It never will
What would be even cooler would be a canadian made 308 bolt action that takes a mag based on an m14 mag body like the AIA
Would be well within the capabilities of more than a handful of canadian liscenced manufacturers.
Or .... Companies with solid contacts in asia that import stuff like dominion, norinco ect, could easily have a enfield clone made in 308 with the same mag..... Why Canam hasn't done it...... Kinda surprises me

C'Mon, CanAm!!! Accept the challenge!!!

Northern Republic Magazine has a thread about bringing in some aftermarket 10/20 AIA magazines to the market. Go check their forum now.

Haven't heard anything new on that thread in 2 weeks.

I'm tired of chasing AIA mag threads around the various forums.
When I can see em and touch em I'll believe it

I hear you but at least people are working on it.

Guys the m305 mags fit, just use a file on the edge of the keeper on the mag.
Or get the real m14 mags thats what the AIA was made to use.

I'd love to find one of the 12-round Ishapore mags...for my bolt-action Ishy 2A1

It really surprises me that no one in Canada has started making home grown magazines - it happened here in NZ... for all the ARs in the country...

I paid over $200 for mine a few years ago......works great though. I use slipper clips to load it......7 rounds seems to work best until my clips break in a bit.
