I am going to start a new thread to consolidate information and ask that the old thread when this was a hypothetical project still be closed. I will add in photos and update these first couple posts as needed.
The intention of this thread is to talk about the product and not to coordinate sales.

To coordinate sales email me at [email protected] Please specify Quantity; Mag cartridge and size/round count; Color so I clearly know what you are requesting.
Initially these are going to be $35ea (complete with spring) + $5shipping (for all items in one shipment).
Please note at this time I have no intention of making a magazine bigger than 3rd (4rd 223) sized body, it was very expensive to custom order the springs for this project and will take time to recoup costs. As of now there is no intention for 6rd or 10rd mags.
Details, these have a custom spring designed to mimic the tikka factory spring and it came out close. So far it has functioned fine in all the factory mags I have tried it out in if you are in need of a replacement spring for a factory mag, I will sell the springs for $10ea. I've heard from one person that briefly tried it in a different aftermarket mag and it wasn't feeding reliably, they didn't trouble shoot it much and I haven't personally used that magazine to know what the issue may be. They work with my design and with factory magazines is what I can speak to. If others have success with other magazines and this spring they can comment accordingly.
Strength: These are not going to be quite as strong a factory magazines, injection molding and filament printing are not apples to apples processes. That said they are from a robust material and annealed for increased heat resistance. They have been fine in my use. I am sending some out the get used hard to find out what can be expected on that front. Regardless for the normal hunter/shooter I don't expect folks will be disappointed.
I am printing mag bodies in Orange (with a black follower) and Black (with an orange follower) as a standard combination.
Mag bodies that are a released design:
-223 4rd (~2.5" COAL, its a little longer than that)
-223 3rd "Flush" (it protrudes ~1/16" to fit 3rds so not completely flush) (~2.5" COAL, its a little longer than that)
-M+ 3rd (~2.97" COAL)
-M+ 2rd Flush (~2.97" COAL)
-PRC 3rd (note this is for 6PRC or 6.5PRC up to ~3" COAL)
-PRC 2rd Flush (note this is for 6PRC or 6.5PRC up to ~3" COAL)
-6UM 3rd (~3" COAL), these will fit WSM
-6UM 2rd Flush (~3" COAL), these will fit WSM
The long (~3.34") variants need to be broken up:
-LS 3rd (this will fit standard diameter rounds like 30-06, 270win, and also 284win, magnums will NOT feed properly from this size).
-LM 3rd (this will fit standard magnums and PRC diameter, standard diameter rounds aren't held tightly in the feed lips and I recommend the LS size)
-LW 3rd (this will fit WSM, it will also fit standard magnums also, its just 1/8" taller and slightly wider inside to properly fit 3rds of WSM)
-ARC 3rd - This is newly released but all reports so far is its working solid with 6ARC. Initial feedback is its feeding BR also but no heavy use yet. This should also feed dasher but not tested yet.
I haven't taken the time yet to make 2rd flush variants for the ARC or L series of mags yet but if there is a request to expedite that just let me know.
