WTS Complete Tikka magazines - Orange, flush, extended COAL, etc.

[MCGHeel]

Just a little plug here. Great mags and very happy with mine. 3 223 mags and 2 prc mags so far all function without hiccups. For those who may be interested, I’m loading 6.5prc to 3.023” coal with no issues with interference loading into mag or chambering rounds.

Any feedback on the 6ARC mags and Dasher feeding? Thinking about a 6 Dasher barrel for my tikka.

Thanks in advance.

The Tikka dasher is born. PBB 20” hybrid lite with the long freebore (.154).

Threw 30 grains of varget in with a 112 MB and loaded 20 at my mag length using @pods8 (Rugged Stitching) 6 arc mag. So far it’s feeding well.

Ran another 20 through it today and it worked great!

What are you using for springs? Printed ones, flat steel or wire wound?

Thanks
Scott

Flat stainless spring steel, they are made by a spring manufacturer (not by me), they are very similar to the ones in oem mags for reference.

Not sure if it's been mentioned but he has a eBay store. Just ordered two mags that way.

My buddy used one of these mags in the S2H course last week. Zero issues. Meanwhile the waters mags were struggling when the conditions went to crap.

I used one of these in my hunting rifle (6CM) this week at S2H course. So a much lower round count than my 223. But at least 150 rounds in the rain and mud. No issues thus far. And for the price I will definitely be ordering more. Buy some and try em

Some of the options (not all) are posted on ebay user apocr8. They are a little cheaper if ordered through here and also supports rokslide vs ebay.

Which Waters magazines were struggling? I thought I was the only one who had them there? I watched a dude pour dirt in one of mine and then run it all afternoon.

Are the 6 ARC magazines fully released? I have a case of FMJ ammo I'll be shooting before the season starts and would love to test these out alongside Tikka factory mags and AICS mags!

Yes and numerous solid reports form ARC users. Some BR and Dasher users also and they are working well there too.

What are the temp ratings for these mags? @pods8 (Rugged Stitching)

Im about to order a couple but I've been known to leave my rifles in vehicles on hot summer days. (Had a couple kydex cheek pieces warp) Will they be okay?

They are “leave in AZ vehicle during summer” temp approved in what I’ve seen so far.

I picked a material that when annealed has a higher heat deflection temperature but there are still limits when talking about a loaded mag with spring pressure pushing rounds up (and feed lips outwardly). How hot, how much force and duration all play in so hard to answer exactly.

Without cranking up the price point further to chase a more costly materials I felt this material was a reasonable set of properties for normal use and you won't loose a mag leaving it in a closed vehicle in a gun case or such. If there is a loaded mag in the gun the gun will support the mag from letting the feed lips flex outwardly. The most demanding situation is a loose loaded mag left to bake in the sun along with the hot ambient temps of the vehicle. I'm not particularly worried about a mag in a gun bag or gun case.

For example I purposely put a loaded 223 mag on my dashboard (hot truck, black dash, black mag in sun) for a month+ this spring and eventually the feed lips did start to distort under the spring pressure pushing up the rounds. To experiment I subsequently put a spacer in the mag (the right width) and put a clamp on the mag and left it on my dash again and it warped back into place. I don't recommend conducting the same experiment but I was curious.

So don't store mags purposely on your dash for extended periods or such but otherwise I think you'll be fine in normal use. If you have an issue reach out.

What’s the longest COAL you guys have run in the 223 mag?

I have run a ton of 2.41” and they have been flawless

They’ll fit about 2.55” max. I say 2.5” just to be conservative.

 

[benconfused]

I'll throw in my feedback for @pods8 (Rugged Stitching) . Have 3x 223 mags in 3 and 4 round capacities, and 2x 6.5prc mags also in 3 and 4 capacities.

ALL have performed exactly as intended with no failures so far. I've hit the range in 3 sessions with both rifles. Especially the 223 mags and have been impressed.

Ok thank you. Great product

This M+ spare mag has had 3 6CM 115 Bergers sitting in it since November.

I pulled it out this morning and went “huh” as it’s been in the top of my backpack in the back of my jeep or truck since then. I needed some super glue out of the emergency kit and there the magazine was. It was buried under the med kit and I had been wondering where I left it.

So it’s been sitting in the cold of a Wyoming/Minnesota/Idaho fall/winter vehicle and the heat of an AZ vehicle untouched for the last 8 months or so.

I loaded it into my one of my 6 Creed Tikkas and used it this morning shooting multiple refills of ammo into it.

Works fine.
