AICS STYLE 10RD 223/5.56 POLYMER MAGAZINE"

MODULAR DRIVEN TECHNOLOGIES

Anyone used these magazines with your Badger Ordnance M5 Bottom Metal on a .223 Rem? I've had the AICS metal mags in 308 in the past and they functioned fine but I keep reading about feeding problems with the .223 AICS Polymer mags. So, I'm leary of trying them.

I saw these advertised on Brownell's for 39.99 versus the metal Accurate mags at 69.99. Any first hand experience or advise would be appreciated.

I just ordered my Badger M5 today and it comes with one 10 round AICS Poly mag. I would like to have at least one dependable magazine.

What length round (max) will fit in your 308 poly mags ?

Sorry, 284, I had the steel AICS 308 in 5 and 10 round. 308 poly mags were offered after I sold my tactical rifles. I usually seated to 2.820" in my 308s but am pretty sure I could have gone longer. Been a few years now.

I noted that the MDT company lists an 8 round 308 poly mag but it is limited to 2.800" according to the specs on Brownell's web site.

I prefer the Accurate Mags for 223.

AICS .223 Rem / 5.56 NATO Magazine

Note: This product is a complete magazine, not a kit. Existing rifles with M-24 type 308 bottom metals can be retrofitted to smaller calibers by simply changing the barrel/action to the selected caliber on the same stock. For savage rifles, this magazine will only work with rifles originally...
