Waters Rifleman Magazine Group Buy

[Schmo]

I wouldn’t know, since I’ve never ordered just one or two mags from them, but I’d say a fair amount. Shipping is definitely cheaper this way. The guy that ordered the bottom metal came out a fair bit cheaper than US competitors, even though it had shipping from Australia to me, and then to him.

Mine got here yesterday! My rifle is still at Kampfeld getting threaded, but once it’s back I’ll be testing it out. Definitely feels like a quality part.

Awesome! I think yours is the first to be delivered, but that makes sense, since you’re sort of close to me. I’d imagine most of them will be landing in the next 2-3 delivery days.

Btw, looks like I’ve got a few guys that want mags, so probably be doing a second group buy. I will wait until guys from the first buy have mags in hand, to see if they want more.

I’m tempted by the bottom metal too, that or lumley. Both look solid

I got mine yesterday also. I have not played with it much, but it seems very solid.

Got em thanks.

Will evaluate if I want more.

Received my .223's today.

Are y'all filing them down to get them to fit better in the stock bottom metal? (plastic). Really tough fit.

I use aftermarket bottom metal, and I do typically have to put a shimming washer or two in there. @mxgsfmdpx filed his mags.

Received, thanks! Mine fit w/o issue on stock bottom metal. Maybe play around with action screw torque?

Yes. I’ve only had one unit that didn’t require significant filing.

Mine are fine but i have to push harder than with factory mags right at the end to get the click.

Yeah a good hard push does nothing with either. One can be slammed in, the other won't seat at all.

Leaning toward shimming but filing would be a bit quicker. Not sure which is more ideal.

Tight is good.

I had to slightly file one just barely. But a nice tight fit is what keeps it feeding and from being easily dumped from the gun.

Same issue here. Hard to get it in and out. Let

where do you file? Just a bit off the top?

 

[Nine Banger]

Tight is good.

Yeah. I'm satisfied. Figured the effort was normal for a single stack 10 round. My desert tech 10 round 223 mags are stiffer.

Sorry to hear about trouble.

Very little.

 

[ResearchinStuff]

I'll be in next time you do it.

 

[Silver Wings]

Got my two.
Thanks

 

[SteveAndTheCrigBoys]

A little filing and they pop in/out snugly, about the same as a factory mag. One required more than the other. Feed great with snap caps. Appreciate the help.

I would shim the floorplate down a touch, there is a reason for hard anodizing, and I’m sure you can’t file that thing as precisely as it is built
