Do they make a 12-round AW magazine?

    I just got a new custom action that supports AW mags, and noticed that the mag catch is different, so I can't run both AW and AICS mags interchangeably on my chassis. For 12-round PRS stages, I was hoping I could run some sort of AW+Extender or 12 round AW magazine, but I can't seem to find any... so that leads me just back to running my AICS 10/12 mags.

    What do people generally do in PRS/Comps who are running AW? Just hand feed the 2 rounds from the quiver?
     
    AW mags hold 11 rounds. Use a sap 2 round holder. File the back of the follower to a round edge and hand feed that 12th round
    So he’s good on the 2 round holder with the hoptic quiver. no reason to mess with that follower. You can single feed that 12th round no problem. Unless there’s something you know that I don’t. I’ve ran the same setup mag and chassis he has. Just a different aw cut action.

    I run a tempest and with factory followers and an empty mag the bolt won’t go forward without depressing the follower. Filing a rounded edge instead of square let’s the bolt slide over the follower
     
    Ah good to know, yeh my Terminus is a 3 lug and it looks like I can run the bolt just fine on an empty mag so I should be good to just feed that round.

    I guess time to trade another AICS mag for an AW so I can at least have a backup mag during a match :)

    Thanks for the advice everyone.

    Area 419 offers AICS mag extender. I have 6 of them and they work great.
    When first install, you need to stretch the follower spring. Do it a little at a time or you will find it too extended and will not be able to get the full load.

    Umm...AW mags have a welded on floor plate.
