AICS 223 magazine

[Cbass1187]

Did a quick search and couldnt find anything so wanted to ask what are my options for running a magazine in a AICS patterned chassis for a 223 bolt action.

Looks like MDT used to make em, but out of stock everywhere and not even listed on their webpage.....saw a metal version on Brownells for over $90 a pop but damn that's expensive.

Anything I am ignorant to / missing?

Thanks in advance for any guidance you guys can provide.

AICS .223 Rem / 5.56 NATO Magazine

Note: This product is a complete magazine, not a kit. Existing rifles with M-24 type 308 bottom metals can be retrofitted to smaller calibers by simply changing the barrel/action to the selected caliber on the same stock. For savage rifles, this magazine will only work with rifles originally...

I've been running the polymer AI mags and was told there would be a new version from AI but it's not in production yet.

Hello,

We stopped producing .223 magazines around two years ago. Unfortunately there is nothing we can do at this time, we can add you to the list though and replace it for you when .223 production resumes in the future.

For immediate need I would suggest (MDT) Modular Driven Technologies.



Thank You,

AI 223 Mag (Discontinued, but can be found on the PX every now and then)
MDT Polymer 223 Mag (Most people recommend these, they also allow for a really long OAL of like 2.550")
Accurate Mag 223 (Probably the second most popular, these are metal shell with a polymer insert, will need some very minor modification for longer OAL rounds)

I'm fairly certain MDT is still producing polymer 223rem magazines even though their website is currently FUBAR

.223 MDT Polymer AICS Magazine

mdttac.com

@MDT_Josh would be the preson to ask though.

Ruger makes one also.

Thanks for the tag @bunsen27 ! We are still making our 223 polymer magazines, however, the reason they are out of stock and that you can't purchase them anywhere is that we're having a little production issue. Should be back in stock in the coming weeks!
