How much shorter are the AW mags than the AICS mags. If someone has pics of each in the rifle that would be great.
 
Re: AICS vs AW mags

thanks, not sure why I didn't find that when I tried the search. I know they aren't interchangeable, but also know it is possible to modify thr reciever to use the AW mags. I was primarily interested in how much less the AW mags would stickout the botto of the rifle being a double stack.

Re: AICS vs AW mags

That's exactly what I was looking for. Now I just wish there was a 5 round AW magazine.
 
Re: AICS vs AW mags

I know this is old, but will both AICS and AW .308 mags fit in a Badger DM? I thought they were not interchangeable?

EDIT: NVM, duh. Found it just after I posted. Action needs work to feed from AW mags.
