Put another 25 round through my PRC mags and 20 rounds through my M+ working great

Just chiming in with a quick update. I got in on the original order for the 223 4 round V1’s. Decided not to replace them with the V2’s and just keep what I had. I only have a couple hundred rounds through them so far between live fire and just cycling rounds but so far I’m really happy with them. Zero feeding issues so far and I’m finding I’ll reach for these more often than my factory 4 rounder as it will occasionally miss a round (say once every ten mags or so) which is seriously frustrating when doing something like the Hunter Drill, and would probably result in the mag getting launched into the abyss in a real hunting scenario. Great product so far. Thanks @pods8 (Rugged Stitching)

Pods, how’s it coming with the ARC mags?

Read from this post on. Sounds like they are there but sample size is 3 so far. I’ll sell them now to those interested.

I have some updates on the L mags shortly too, planning to update all at once later this week most likely.

@hereinaz Glad to hear you're on the mend. Few questions, what's the meta for bottom metal and mags for your 6 arc barreled actions? Looks like actions and barrel are in stock and i'd probably order this week if so.

For others, is there a preferred stock/bottom metal you're using?

I’m running the factory bottom metal with a printed magazine that should be available for sale from a member here in the near future. 100% function thus far. I’ll wait for the go ahead before saying more.

The 223 mags work great in my Rokslide special.

 

[Lionheart]

Clicked right in…now for a range session.
My .223 mags have worked flawlessly so far.

Finally got a chance to run the 3 rd 223 mags yesterday. Loaded to 2.41 both feed flawless

 

[RWT]

Ran a few boxes through my 223. All cycled well with no issues. Just ordered 2 for my Grendel

Okay I've updated the first post and classified listing.

Based on this material I needed to break up the L series of magazines to properly grip a case, standard diameters were too loose in what allowed a magnum to ride high enough and magnums were too low in something that fit standard diameter. WSM required even thinner walls and a 1/8" more height in the mag, rather than only offering the tall version for magnums I broke out the WSM mag also, that one will feed other magnums fine still its just a little bigger and looser than needed.

-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.

I'm sorry if I missed it.

But do you have an extended 223 magazine? Maybe 6-10 rounds??

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.

UM is working on one...

Any reason you don’t want one of those that work well such as mamba mag or waters rifleman mag? Their 10-round options seem great. I bought a few mamba mags after using them at the S2H course and have been very happy with them.

6UM mags worked flawlessly.

First, I didn't know of those options...

Second, I just tried to find one of them and they don't seem to be available anywhere. Any suggestions?

I just found one on ND shooting supplies... are those good?

The NDR ones are very good. I personally much prefer the Waters, but you have to order them from Australia and pay the tariffs on them. It’s not very difficult, but that deters some people.

This picture is of M magazines, but it gives you an idea of the size difference between 10-round Waters (bottom left) and NDR (bottom right).

Here are some .223 magazines. 10-round Waters and Mamba on bottom row.

A few weeks ago, Form made a comment about the Mambas being the most reliable in dusty conditions and now they are unobtainium. I personally vastly prefer the Waters due to the size factor.

@h2so4 you have any mambamags left?

Only the ones in my shooting bag, unfortunately.
