got my new mag tonight on UPS, been on BO from Cabelas for a month or better
got to say it looks nice and the 17 Hmr ammo feeds well into it, but have not shot it yet to see how they cycle from the mag
Now unlike the A17 and A22 mags which look identical except the print on the rear metal plate. the BC A17 Mag has a smaller feed mouth at the front end to closer fit the 17 Hmr ammo contour, but when I tried to put 22 Mag ammo in it the smaller end kind of hung up on the 22 WMR ammo with it not being necked down and the larger bullet. the ammo would go in and I filled it up just fine but I am sure they would not cycle and jam right below the metal lips of the mag and not feed right. I am sure a little filing on the metal top would allow it to work fine but I didn't feel like screwing up my new $35 mag first thing :)
