T97, which 50cal mags fit?

[HeadDamage]

Has anyone tried any 50cal mags in the T97 yet? If so do they fit and which ones where they?

 

[adriel]

I have 2 of the mags on the way, should be able to tell shortly.

I have the Alexander arms metal mag and it fits just fine.

 

[Stevo]

No go on the NB mags which shall not be named.

 

[adriel]

Stevo, how far off were they? They're what I have coming in, and I'll be modifying them if they don't fit.

I don't know about the mag that shall not be named, but the beta drums fit, but it is snug. Snug like me in a girl scouts uniform, but I do fit... I mean the mag does.

The T97 mag well is quite tight. Black LARs and USGI fit fine, though more snugly than in other rifles, and drop free. Other mags which fit easily and drop free from my ARs need a lot of force to insert and remove. I didn't get the .50 mag all the way in as I didn't want to apply the amount of force it was going to require.

Personally, my first thoughts are to open up the mag well, rather than mod mags I use in other guns.

Don't forget the Loc-tite.

I know they're not .50 cal but anybody try Lancer AWM's? I ask as they have a metal upper portion with a polymer lower. I don't have a T97 (I'm waiting on CanAm) so can't try...

It looks like I may be the first to hog out the mag well.

Noo dooont doo it.

Dremel the mag. The mag is to square and thats the problem.

Round off the corners and it goes in but will not drop.

The best mags are pmag m2 moe

It makes sense that the mag is too square, but I do have many LARs that don't fit, either. Maybe a bit of both is necessary. There's no question that the mag well is undersized compared to regular AR dimensions.
