The challenge is, I NEVER HAD ONE OF THESE EARLIER!!!!

Absolutely awesome how much more I enjoy my bolt action that only had 4 rounds, I have 8 now! I did not have to spend big bucks on a new tactical stock for an extended magazine option, these are 3D printed in Alberta and feed wonderfully.

Allan at MAG3D.ca shipped mine out fast and I am buying 2 more, I sent him some factory mag pics as he wanted to be 100% sure.

Took minor sanding, as they fit like a glove, just cannot say enough, I predict many gophers sprays this Spring.

Thanks Allan, for an amazing product and service!

Allan included the mag body, follower, base plate, and spring, I just seated it and tested feeding. The mag lips are very beefy compared to other poly magazines.
 
They look extremely rough... and how durable is the mag catch, is it going to flatten out quickly... how is the loading and feeding? Any hiccups?

They look rough because my Samsung cell makes everything look rough that's why people hate when I post face pics. :)The seating after a bit of sanding is super rigid, and the feeding is extremely positive, for the cost I am quite happy to test it.


The factory mag metal tang broke on one of my factory Savage magazines, but these are BEEFY! For the price I will not complain and will test them hard in the next few months.

You say "for the price," I am not seeing where you listed the price?
 
He charged me $45.00 shipped think he gives a break for multiples. Compared to the cost of an extended mag from the States I like the price.

He's in business. That's important.

Maybe stick around for a review or two?

They look way rougher than are really, I guess a person could sand out 3D printing marks with this or spend over 100.00 for a smaller capacity steel mag. :)

He is a follow shooter helping other shooters out with his printer. I for one have no reason to spend 200.00 on a pretty steel welded mag made from 2 mags, and then try to get them into Canada. I appreciate other shooters helping us out, this isn't a Cabelas box store product offering, just trying to share things that's all.

And a brass deflector 3D printed:




Not so yummy.

I understand supporting a small business but at this rate it’s seeming like it’s your cousins.

I am going to guess 100% of members on this shooting forum are not blind.

The mags aren’t a good deal if they have a finite life

He's not my cousin, but after this I think I will just tell my friends and enjoy others sharing other shooter's efforts, I'm out.

By the way, my factory metal mag had a finite life when the metal tang broke.....

Guess I should have shot a pic further away with an Apple?
