Thought I'd give the Accurate Mags 10 rounder a shot as part of my new .308 build as I like the idea of a closer to single stack magazine in theory being a bit more reliable.
Ordered 2 from Brownells and they came yesterday and look to be well made. Definitely superior quality to the flimsy Savage mags.
Haven't tried either in the rifle yet which is currently in pieces with me installing a YHM muzzle break on her today and waiting on a new chasis system, but I was quite disappointed to find that ONE of the mags will in NO WAY take 10 rounds... A $75 magazine that won't take the round count advertised.... Really?
I tried over and over to reload it to 10 very carefully placing each round but there is no way in hell that 10th round is going in and staying. Getting it in is enough work and you can clearly see the magazine is bulging even with the much more substantial metal than those POJ Savage mags. (.035" vs .029" and heat treated with MUCH less flex as a result) As soon as you let go of that 10th round it flys out and and almost takes round 9 with it.
Anyone else have this problem that uses them or for that matter AICS mags?
For $10 more I'll take what works as advertised, thanks.
