What’s the deal with AW mags being out of stock absolutely everywhere? It’s the one mag for the past 2ish years I always saw in stock, what gives now?
I know milehigh is the importer iirc.

How recent?Set up in stock notifications with Area 419 and Euro Optic. That's the only way I found some recently.
Yea. Ordered two of those for a BR build but I have some other stuff that isn’t BR based that I’d like to use them on. @MDT_OFFICIAL @MDT_Josh cmon guys….. cmon…. Make an AW mag that’s 90 bucks and actually in stock at all timesDelivered on 4/30. It's not really unexpected, with the CDG from ARC, the ATX, and a few other receivers that take AW mags. If you're
trying a BR variant, get the Grayops mag.
Yes, it’s been discussed. I have seen it done personally though the AX mag was purchased for less than AW retail. I’d have a hard time mangling a $120 mag just because the $80 mag is OOS, but if you gotta shoot you gotta shoot.Anyone try the AX mags? They should work if you bend the front tab back.
Yea that's the thing. If the mag was the same exact price (and considering the similarities I can't imagine why it isn't) I would just buy a couple and modify them, but to buy something *more* expensive just to hack them up seems stupid.Yes, it’s been discussed.

lol! Waiting can be fun if you put it out of your mind. Then when they show up, it is Christmas. Of course since you put it out of your mind, that means you went and bought them somewhere else already and now you have extra…I did. Backordered 3 of them because I love waiting a year for EuroOptic backorders. It's like surprise Christmas!
I don't know about that. There are a metric ton of people using AW mags in their Impact/Lone Peak actions (among others) just fine. Especially now that there are bottom metals with adjustable mag catch height.Long story short if you intend to run the AW mag , then you need to have a bolt similar to the AI AW , ie a wide body 3 lug bolt .
As I mentioned earlier, my old Stiller TAC30 AW action, two lug, has worked flawlessly for I’d estimate 20,000+ rounds without a hiccup.Now donot shot the messenger , BUT AI makes the AW magazine for thier AW rifles , not to be used in other action/bodies , its a very good mag in my experience thru a 308 AW rifle , so good others have tried to use it for actions it was not designed for , like 2 lug Rem700 like actions , and thats not been 100% reliable , back in the day you had people cut the Surgeon short actions to take the AW mag and the Spectre from Stiller .
Never ideal .

And the CDG seems to fit that profile , so maybe its going to be reliable .
I have even seen it fitted into a Sako 85 action .
As AI make it for their rifles , it stands to reason , they donot need to make lot of mags to keep their rifles in operation , so maybe people have un-realistic demands .
Also the old Badger actions run the AW as well .
GA Precision has them in stock for anyone who’s looking.

Actually, even GP doesn’t keep them in stock long. You’re confused, or arrogant, not sure which.You have to fucking love this shit. Guys going crazy over AW mags OOS (I've been seeing posts on this very topic for a while now) then out of nowhere, some random guy posts a link to a reputable vendor with mags in stock.
That just goes to show people don't do their research and want stuff handed to them.

If you read through the thread, you’d know that some of us have posted multiple times that EurOptic gets them in regularly. They are a reputable vendor and even they can’t keep them in stock, but do let you back order.
True enough.I did. I read somewhere that you or I don't recall who, suggested to get on the fucking backorder list from EO and might have been another store also. But still, my comment kinda remains. If they would have gotten on the list since you started preaching this, they wouldn't still be complaining haha.
so, what is the difference between AW, Ax and AICS mags?
