This should be the case.
This is why the collapse of the FIT'S RIFFLE project is curious.
Fit's riffle?
Fit's riffle?
Someone marked the magazines "FIT'S AIA BOLTACTION 7.62MM RIFFLE".
Apart from illiteracy, something went wrong, and the project failed.
Don't know why.
One story is that the RCMP squashed it.
But who knows?
Why write "fits" on it? Riffle is just funny but "fits" is what causes the issue most likely. An M14 mag "fits" in many things but its an M14 mag still. Leave the word "fits" out and just label it as what it should be.
"Fits" isn't on the LAR and XCR pistol mags for a reason. Legal definitions make it a sticky troublesome word.
Is it a bolt action mag, or does it just fit a bolt action rifle and it was made for something else? Leaves it open the wrong way.
No no, they were just made for a guy named Fits!![]()
Bingo.
"FIT'S" is a possessive form.
Maybe the magazines were made for the FIT company's riffle, therefore FIT'S AIA BOLTACTION 7.62MM RIFFLE.
There never was an adequate supply of AIA magazines imported with the rifles.
Now that AIA has folded, there won't be any new ones coming from that source.
Perhaps the company who made the magazines for AIA could be contacted, and magazines ordered from them.
The classification of a magazine is based on the firearm for which it is designed and manufactured.
With all this wink, wink, nudge, nudge, going on, could it be argued that these magazines are actually being designed and manufactured to be used in M-14 type rifles? Just being devil's advocate.

It was made for the bolt action rifle only.
Here is a video compareing the factory magazine and the AIA magazine.

What's with the people that think $75.00 is steep for a hard to get mag? Obviously cheaper would be better but lets be realistic here!
