are Badger and AICS mags interchangable?

[david walter]

I'm looking at M5 bottom metal for a new build, and don't see badger mags on the Triad Tactical site, but do see AICS.

Are they essentially the same? It says they fit Badger bottom metal. What's the difference, if any?

Yes, mags that come with the M5 are AICS mags.

The Badger M5 uses the AICS mags.

Great.

Where's the best place to buy bottom metal and mags? Best price for military?

Not sure on the mil discounts.

You could pm this guy and try to save a few bucks.

Other than that I'm not sure on the BM besides Triad. Mags from any AI dealer here and you can check pricing on Midwayusa.com and use the coupon codes.

Also don't forget to check out Alpha mags which also work. Here's a write up Vu did recently.
