Shorter 10 round magazines

[Alpheus]

I have a couple of the new shorter 308 10rd magazines, and am having the darnedest time using them. Getting all 10 rounds in it is tough, the last round is really tough to fit in. And once I have them in, cycling the bolt to load the first round is impossible. The resistance to feed the round is so hard, I have to download to 9 rounds, and even then the first round is reluctant. I have been using regular Accurate-Mag 10 rounders without issue, but have caught the mag on barricades before, so was hoping to have more clearance with these shorter ones.
Any tricks I could try, maybe a light sanding of the feed lips, or cut a bit off the spring?

This is a known issue, which is why we now specify that these are 8 round magazines.

Our Metal magazines hold 10 rounds comfortably. And we will have a 13 round magazine that is in production now, and will be available soon!

 

[Alpheus]

I have the metal ones, 10 rounds is a stretch.

Are you using them for .308?

Whats the length of the 13 round mag? What does it look like? Will it work in AICS based rifles?

 

[TAC21]

Will have more details and pictures in a few weeks!
Yes, it is for AICS based rifles.

Here’s a picture of a loaded 13 rounder that MDT kindly sent to me.....








And a picture of the 13 rounder next to my Magpul 10 and 5 rounders


This 13 rounder is the same size as my other ten rounders. Looking forward to the snow melting and I can run this 13 rounder through its paces with my Magpul M700 308 SPS Tac


All I an say is, Don’t buy ONE!

BUY TWO of them!!!


Cheers and thanks...

Fantastic, I really need to pickup some of your mags and try them in my Scout.

Is the 5 round mag available without binder plate? My reloads are too long for most mags.

We currently are only offering the 5 rounders with binder plate.

Is it something I could remove myself or is it an integral part of the mag body that would compromise the strength of the mag?

The binder plate binds the front of the mag together (a metal mag is a piece of sheet metal folded into a box) and the binder plate is welded all down the front of the mag body so it's not something that can easily be removed without quite possibly destroying the mag, then once it's out you'd have to weld down the front seam.

If you want to go without binder plate, we do offer our 10 round without binder plate we are sold out right now but should have some more in a few weeks - https://mdttac.ca/products/mdt-metal-magazines-short-action?variant=4957281320999
