OK- I really do need some help here,
I have had the worst time trying to get AICS mags here in Sweden until I found a online shop that sold then at a decent price (market value/not ripoff pricing) and said they had them at hand.
To start with, they sold AICS mags but had a AE mag on there sales ad,
that made me send them a question about what mag they sold,
in reply I was reassured they sold AICS mags, from AI.
In my first delivery I got four 2x5 and 2x10 AE mags for long actions,
I ordered short action.
In return another 4 weeks later I get this,
2x5 and 2x10 round mags that look like this.
The 5-rounder to the left in the first pic has a lip at the top,
it will not enter/ fit in to the magwell any of my four rifles that take AICS mags,
the 10-rounder will fit, no issues.
Yes- there is also the welds that are quite dissimiliar.
Further looking at the mag bottoms, the last two pics,
the 10-rounder has a distinct AI stamp, the other not so much.
I have an additional 2 5-rounders at home that look nothing like these 2 I got now,
so in short, is this 5-rounder that I have paid for as a AI manufactured AICS mag, a real AI product, has there been some sort of evolution of the mags that I am unaware of?
Any one that can provide a straight answer will be making my day.
Best regards Chris
