Does anyone know if any current production mags are compatible with a Bushmaster 308? It's one of them evil black rifles (and I love me some magpul), so I tried a magpul AR10 mag first, and it wasn't even close. Then someone at a gun store told me they thought it took FAL mags, so I got one and it got close, but wouldn't click in. He said I may have to modify the mag, but I'm not good with that kind of stuff. This store had a gunsmith so I asked if the gunsmith could modify it and he declined. If a gunsmith can't (or won't) do it, I sure as heck aint gunna try. Then I learned there's more than 1 type of FAL magazine, but before I spend more money I'd like to see some confirmation that it should work.

If the other FAL mag will work, then the second issue is, does anyone make 5 or 10 round versions of it? The whole reason I'm looking for a new mag is that the 20 rounders I have make it hard to shoot the gun from either a bench or prone. When I looked I didn't see any in stock anywhere.
 
From what I recall the Bushmaster 308 used FN FAL metric magazines. If your mag was inch pattern then it wouldn’t fit.

Even if your mag was metric it could be possible it was out of spec. Get your hands on some metric mags and give them a try.

Thanks leg. I forgot I'd made this post.
