CIP Length MDT Mag modified to AICS Length for Tikka Action

[texansport]

Just wanted to share. Saves 5.4oz just by swapping magazines. Beautiful? No. Functional? Yes.

Second attempt after the first failed miserably. If you have interest, DIY or prepared reach out.

Posted this custom Tikka/XLR/Unknown Munitions build a few days ago.

7 PRC MDT mag (CIP, 3.85”) —> 6.5 PRC in LA (AICS, 3.56”).

yes I'm also interested in how you modified. more than just a little sanding on the lips? I'm sort of in the same boat looking for mags to run 6.5PRC in an XLR LA tikka...I don't intend to spin on a 7PRC anytime but I might try 7SAUM someday.
only mag I have currently is 5rd metal MDT 300WM 3.56" and I hope it will work for practice but would of course prefer a lighter option for the Mts.

No feed lip modification required. I’ve cycled 50-60 rounds through it and it’s flawless so far. DM me.

A video showing what you modified would be awesome.

Curious, what is the exact length of your modified mag? 3.560?

Bumping up. Have a tikka t3 in 7PRC that I’m planning on putting in a MDT HNT26 chassis and would like a much lighter option than the steel mags
