MDT poly/metal magazine

Got an e-mail from MDT announcing their new poly/metal magazine.

Poly/Metal Magazine AICS - Short Action

The MDT AICS Poly/Metal magazine is constructed with a polymer body fitted to a metal feedlip assembly. This arrangement combines the warmth and light-weight feel of a polymer magazine with the reliability and adjustability of a metal magazine. In addition, the polymer body contains a clear...

Did anyone get a chance to demo it before the release? I'm guessing the quality will be good since it's MDT. I was thinking about picking up some of their metal mags since their polymer mag only holds 8 rounds. This may be a good solution.

Probably worth pointing out that I can squeeze 10rd of 6.5CM into their 308 poly mags that I bought 2 years ago.

This does look interesting and I like that you can get a longer COAL than the straight poly mags, matching the metal mags with binder plate. All of my preferred AR mags are metal lips / polymer body as well.

Would those AR mags be Lancer? The first magazine I thought of when I read the original post and yours .

I like this type of magazine, perhaps I will need some of these for the new MDT XRS

 

[MarinePMI]

Cool! Now .224 Valkyrie and .223 Rem please!

 

[BoulderE89]

I was considering these as well, the price is competitive too.

 

[facelessrick]

if any one gets any im interested in there thoughts on these

 

[Jcbusaf]

Fallowing

 

[MarinePMI]

Just gonna let it grow, eh? ?

 

[long range sponge]

Cool! Now .224 Valkyrie and .223 Rem please!

In the Q&A section from the link, MDT does not plan on a 223 version. As for 224 Valk, I plan on getting the 308 version and bending the feed lips in a touch. Should get about 12 rounds in there to boot.

I received my poly/metal mag order from MDT yesterday. It seems very well built and feeds super smoothly...much better than the MDT all-poly mag that I was using before. Also, the better COAL and window are nice bonuses.

 

[BoulderE89]

Good to hear! I’m waiting on mine and it should arrive on Wednesday! Can’t wait for it

 

[Dthomas3523]

Just ordered 3 of them. Have a lone peak Fuzion being finished this week. These are a backup plan in case we have issues getting AW mags to feed perfectly.

 

[Shaun755]

Any feedback on these yet?

 

[Nebulous]

I've got one in the mail but I probably wont get to take it out to the range for another week or two.

 

[MTB doc]

Should have mine arriving in a few day for my BadRock South Fork.

 

[BoWingo]

I’m still liking mine. Feeds smooth.

 

[Dthomas3523]

Wouldn’t fit in my KMW sentinel or my XLR envy pro.

Their website says compatible with all of the mdt aics chassis. I should have read that part first. lol

 

[MarinePMI]

Too long (front to back)?

Too long (front to back)?

Seems like it.

I basically all but destroyed one a few min ago. Gave it a tap and it seated into my XLR. It feed great. But I ended up having to take the chassis off and beat it out with a dead blow hammer.

I always give my mags a coat before I stick it in

Well, I guess it's good MDT bought J. Allen Enterprises then... (adjustable mag well)

Ask me how I know...(just adjusted my JAE700 for the MDT 6BR mags for my Valkyrie build). They're not super long (front to back), but they were pretty tight until I opened the mag well collet a smidge....

I’m waiting on some mdt 12rnd mags. Haven’t heard any complaints about fit on these yet.

 

[MarinePMI]

I have two of the MDT 12 rd mags, and no issues in my MPA or XLR Evolution (Gen 1) chassis.

 

[Lawnboi]

Just another note, my mdt 12 rounders are tight in a manners tikka mini Chassis. Not best em out with a hammer tight but that may be on the table with a little dirt. Just a hair too long

This sucks. Was hoping they would be the ticket for my 224 Valk Origin. I've got it in a XLR Carbon (kinda). Wonder how well they work in a Bravo.

 

[MTB doc]

Getting ready to order another one. Fit and function are flawless in my Badrock.

The Bravo’s mag well is adjustable, so it shouldn’t be a problem.

My wife used to say my attitude was a problem. Not so much now that she's found out it's adjustable. ????

Poly metal came in over the weekend and the oal improvment over the all poly like said above is huge. The all poly was boarder line feeding eld 147’s without issue due to length. But they fit with plenty of room in these new hybrids. The window isn’t needed but I guess it’s nice to have. will post pics later if I think about it to show the diff

 

[Clayzoo]

Here is a side by side showing the over all size and figment of the eld 147 factory loads(oal of 71mm) and how they almost touch the all poly mag. Tried to get the same angle in both pics. Both mags have 5rds in and in the window of the hybrid doesn’t show any rounds till the 6th when the bottom plate begins to come into sight at the top of the window. Can also confirm mdt’s sa mag loader will work with hybrid but not as good of fit
Internal oal of mags
Poly 71.5mm
Hybrid 73.5mm
steel w/ binder plate 75mm

 

[Eggman]

received my 2 end of last week, both work and feed perfectly through an AI and KRG whiskey 3.

they also allow excellent function of the controlled round feed with my nucleus. something that some other mags havent done well or at all.

anyone know where to get +2 mag extensions for these yet?
