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.
Use the classified listing when it is created or email me at [email protected] in the meantime.

Classifieds listing: [Place holder I haven't started a thread yet, I am going to work on building up some inventory. In the meantime if you want something email [email protected] and I'll add it to my build list if I don't already have some prepared. 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 & "Flush" 3rd (it protrudes ~1/16" to fit 3rds so not completely flush) (~2.5" COAL, its a little longer than that)
-M+ 3rd & Flush 2rd
-L 3rd & Flush 2rd (these do not fit PRC, WSM, SAUM/UM)
-PRC 3rd & Flush 2rd (~3" COAL)
-6UM 3rd & Flush 2rd (~3" COAL), these will fit WSM

-I will be working on an ARC / BR type mag next, this isn't ready yet

Potential:
-A longer WSM if there is desire.

This is the 223 design going forward (V2 if you read that other thread). This shows the protrusion of the 223 "flush" mag, it needed to stick out ~1/16" to fit 3rds well. The other cartridges the flush mag is truly flush.

This shows the protrusion of the M+ and L mags, the 6UM and PRC mags protrude a bit more to fit the larger diameter rounds. The flush mags for all these cartridges is actually flush and fits 2rds.

My 223 mags arrived today and have 100 ish rounds through them.

You have exceeded expectations. Great product in all aspects, function and aesthetics.

Exceptional work!

What COAL do you need? The 6UM ones I actually designed using my wsm (it’s just a smidge bigger than saum) to function check it. Not sure if you were looking for longer cartridge length.
Chiming in I'd be interested in 300 WSM also. Tough saying on COAL - interested in what others say. I don't shoot real long bullets but you'd like a little room, maybe split the difference between long action and short action, somewhere around 3.1 - 3.2"? Just a long action length might work also but my hope is a little shorter would feed better? I have the long action Mountain Tactical (3.4") and you have to feed rounds carefully.
