Finding AIA Mags

That sounds like the front of the mag is not fully inserted or that the follower is cockeyed.
Do you really think so?
Look at all the very nice Russian SKS rifles floating around at the $200 or so price level...someone will pay 4X the price to work a bolt?
I do like AIA's but question how many people would pay 4X the price of an SKS to shoot the same cartridge.
If it is not feeding right, Get a hold of John at Marstar, or at least try to. He services what he sells and stands behind it 100%. Might cost you shipping though.
Before that, try the other mag that came with the rifle and make sure to give it a good solid hit from the bottom to make sure it is seated right. Mine is pretty tight to get in and I need to do this.

AIA mags were available in Australia last Sept,but I balked at the $80 price tag
tried that route and the new zealand dealer i was working thru in the end could not provide. I also tried convincing another major canadian player import a bunch and all i saw of it was samples. there must be a reason that they are not being imported seperately in bulk (magazines that is) and my guess is that some of our dealer fear the boys with yellow stripes on thier pants would sieze them the minute they hit customs...... and they are probably right. I wouldn't risk my business capital either
m14 mags will work in your AIA, but as said previously by others, they are capped at 5.
incidentally, the 10 round AIA mags that i have fit and function in my m14 as smooth as an m14 mag
i've only shot a couple of the AIA .308 rifles and was very impressed.... and sad i did not buy one of the B2 rifles when i had a chance.
I thought the AIA mags didn't have the rectangular notch in the front of the mag like an M14 mag does. How are they clipping into the M14 oprod guide catch?
Tinfoil hat time: I suspect that there is a very good reason we cannot get cheap AIA mags in more than 5 rounds. I suspect the few people who have them are concerned that if they arrive in bulk, the CFO will rule them "M14 mags" and force them to all be mag lkimited to 5 rds
It's a safe bet FAR MORE M14 ownerswould buy these mags than AIA owners.

Yes & you frogot the most important part...I thought the AIA mags didn't have the rectangular notch in the front of the mag like an M14 mag does. How are they clipping into the M14 oprod guide catch?

THEY HAVE CHROMED FOLLOWERS!
Once you've shot an M14 with this chomed follower you will relieze why it's so nice! Although because the mag dosn't have the whole it does on certain rifle's it will bump out of the rifle some times.
Last time I checked with my Aussie Brother in law Aussies can't mail firearm parts out of their country, without going through a fair bit of paperwork, and yes their mail is screened quite heavily by their Government.
