Brownells has AICS mags on sale
-
Accurate mags as well.
Lucky day, picking up a Magpul 10 rounder and AICS 10 rounder.
-
I bought 1 of the MDT .223 mags from them the other day but they are out of stock. Ordered it anyway for the free shipping.
-
The accuratemag 10rnd .223 mags seem to work very well also. Both them and the MDT's are better than the AI polymer .223 mags.
-
I am going to try those also but the MDT lets you load long without any modification.

Well my Magazines came in today.
The AI 10rd works great, gonna have to sand the feed lips a bit to try and get it to scratch my brass a bit less. And with 10 rounds it is a little hard to work the bolt.
The magpul, well not so well. The first 5 rounds cycle fine, but after that I get a lot of failure to feeds as the bolt just rides over the bullet. There is quite a bit of play in the magazine it moves up and down in the bottom metal quite a lot, enough that the bolt goes right over the top, even had it do it on the first round once.
It would have been nice if it worked, because they're obviously a third the cost, they load a little easier and the cycle easier with a full mag, but the failure to feed is a big failure.

Ordered 1 of the Accurate Mags and will be testing both. Found the fix for the Accurate for length from the 6.5 Guys.

@rhyno Pull the guts out of the AI 10rounders and take some sand paper to the inside of the lips. Only way you'll get rid of the scratching.
