5 round AICS patterned magazine

[CJ6]

Does anyone know of a maker of 5 round magazines in AICS pattern for the 6.5 Grendel cartridge or similar ? Preferably polymer.
My Google foo is not strong today.

I don't know the answer. I use a Magpul 308 for my 22-250 and 243 and it works perfectly. Hope that helps.

Sorry, you said 5 round... but MDT metal mags are good to go.

Don’t waste your money on primal rights kits.
They’re rough and may not even work with a Grendel.

Hawkins has a 3 rounder for their bottom metal. MDT has a 3 and 12 maybe a 5 also.

Reason for 5 round mags is I really don't like the mags sticking so low below the stock and I never load more than 5 anyway.
It's for a Ruger Gen II 6 ARC. Factory are Duramag 6.5 Grendel 10 rounds.

mdt mags are amazing

Someone smart could shorten the MDT mag

wouldn't a br/dasher mag work then?

I didn't see anything on Hawkins for Grendel/ARC cartridges. MDT was 10 rounds poly and metal.
I may order a MDT 10 round poly and try and cut up the factory mag if I can't find one. I have spare 20 rd AR springs I can play with for tension.
Also going to call Ruger to see if it can be converted to internal magwell.

I have steel Accuracy International 5 Round AICS 308 Mags that I use for my 6.5mm CM and .308s.
It has a longer available OAL than the plastic MDt AICS Mags so I can seat out the bullets further to minimize the jump when loading for my 6.5mm CM Shilen barrel.
They are not cheap, but worth it IMHO.
I use the MDT 10 round mag for my .22-250.

Grendel/ARC cartridges are much shorter and smaller in diameter than .473 base cartridges.

It seems I had to call and order it, but they’re definitely real. I have one as well as a couple of buddies. I think we got them at red hawk rifles.

I have a dealer account with Hawkins so if you can’t find it shoot me a DM.

Works with their Hawkins Hunter bottom metal, which also takes AICS pattern mags.

Feeds so well I can’t feel it.

You may be looking for the wrong magazine. Ruger's website describes all the American GenII rifles in ARC chambering as using "AR-TYPE" magazines. IIRC, my GenI RPR would accept either the AI or AR pattern mags?
If that is the case with your rifle then look here:

The best magazines for 6mm ARC, 22 ARC, and 6.5 Grendel

dura-mag.com

These were formerly C-Products and were hit or miss QC but apparently the new owners have worked to improve them.

 

[CJ6]

The factory mags are marked c products in lower case. DURAMAG in bold. I've not had any issues with feeding with them, just hang too low below the stock.
Thanks.

MDT metal mags have a lot longer length than the polymer ones for the .308 types. My 5 round can get to 2.880 and that’s the binder plate type.

Yes, you're correct. I need to get more coffee in me before I post. Ruger does however use AI magazines for different cartridges than mine.
Thanks for getting me straight on this.
