I successfully modified an A17 25 round magazine from Butler Creek to fit the B17 FV. The stock A17 25 round magazine doesn't quite fit the B17 as is. So with a razor blade, vice and bench grinder or hacksaw its possible :) Very excited to now have a 25 round mag for the B17 FV :)
Hi! I'd like more info about how you modified the A17 magazine to fit the B17. I'm looking at purchasing a B17 and would like an extended mag for it.
A-Series and B-Series rifles use the same mags, so theoretically they shouldn't require modification. Only area where I could see a possible issue is with mag height in the stock when locked in.
I hate to bump this thread but I recently bought the A17 high capacity mag hoping it would fit my new B17. The mag lock is in a different place on the B17 so the mag won’t work. As recently stated they are the same mag but the clip that holds them in place are different. I love the ease of loading the new BC magazine compared to the stock rotary. Has anyone figured out a way to make it work?
Theoretically to do require modification because the B17 mag lock is at a different height. How do I know this? I just bought the Butler Creek extended magazine after reading this quote and to my surprise the new mag would not lock into place, so no your theory is not accurate.Quote:

The butler a22 25rd mag locks up and functions in my savage b22 precision right out of the box.
