Re: Can you get the 6BR to feed from AI Mags ?
I haven't tried the Mag modification myself yet but I've seen it posted either somewhere here or on the 6mmbr site. The version I saw had a piece of plastic mounted in the front of the mag and the follower had been cut also.. article seemed to suggest that it worked well.
Personally I usually single load, but on occasion I throw a couple in a mag and I've found that if you "slow" and consistent it does work.... but it's not a robust solution and not reliable enough for competition use..

Yeah that's it..

"Mag-Feeding the 6BR--Yes It Works and Here's Video Proof!
The AI-supplied magazine is designed for the .308 Win, so it needed some work. The spring required no modification, but I did shorten the follower. Then it was a matter of positioning the round in the magazine. After some trail and error, I settled on a spacer in the front. This leaves a gap in the rear of the magazine, making loading easier. The cartridges move forward with recoil and the movement of the bolt, helping to position the cases for reliable feeding."
