If I failed to mention this before, these are the same magazines that Les Baer uses on his new "Recon rifle".
I have noticed that the parkerized version of the magazines are a little fuzzy on the finish and a quick scrub with WD-40 and 0000 steel wool will slick them up quite well. I used a 5 rounder on a recent coyote hunt and emptied it twice on multple coyotes, with my biggest complaint of chasing Lapua brass in a snow storm.
The .223 version is scheduled to be available after the SHOT show. They will be 3/4" longer than the 5 rd .308 mag, but will hold 10 rounds.
any idea how much these will run& will there be a single shot option for these too?

looks like they're only for short actions, both my 223& 308 are on long action chassis.

It is a drop in for anything that is currently set up for a DBM or HFP. The only ones needed inletting is for the stagger feed stocks.
Re: Dscussion: SSS's New Acme Universal magazine conversion
what about the model 12 204 with no mag, i believe its called blind mag
