Magazine Choice for Mausingfield + MPA Chassis

[samb300]

I'm getting parts together for a new build, and have decided on a Mausingfield action (short action, 308 bolt face) and an MPA Comp chassis. I will be running either 6XC or 6.5x47L, so no 6BR/6 Dasher length rounds.

The question I have is: What magazine(s) should I pursue for this combo? I have only run factory AIAT and AIAX rifles, so I'm used to the AW mags working with 100% reliability. Those are the only mags I own, so anything else I will have to purchase.

I have heard some of the woes of the ARC mags, so I am hesitant to go that route. Are there other options that might be better than the standard 10-round AICS mags?

Thanks!

I only have a sample of two to go from but Alpha 10 rounders have worked perfectly for me in a KRG chassis.

I've got ARC mags, AICS, and Pmag. I'm actually finding that I like the Pmags the most. Buttery smooth and cheap.

Dude likely wont ship them for 3 months if at all, so screw that. Get ARC and get what you paid for in a reasonable time. Dont fuck aroudn with the Alpha dude.

AICS is always going to be the most reliable. I've tried the ARC mags and had the same issues as others so no go there. My experience and my observations have always been the AICS are the way to go. If you need any, I have 3 of the ten rounders. I need AX mags if you have any and wanted to trade.

So I've heard. I've had my two for several years now. I wasn't in a hurry at the time so maybe that's why I can't remember how long it took from ordering to delivery.

Took him a year to replace the mags I got from Alpha that didn't work.

Good to know about the Alpha mags, thanks.

Anyone running the Accurate mags? They also have a "long" option, which lets you get 2.95" internal length. Not that I think I'll need that for 6XC and 6.5x47L, but would be nice to have if I ever tried 260 or 6 Creed.
