Badger sells a kit for it if your looking for high end. think its around $400 on midway. There's plenty of other kits on the market for cheaper depending on your budget.
New stock inletted for bottom metal
You can have your stock inletted for any of them. If you don't want to inlet PT&G makes a kit that uses AI AE MKI mags that drops in. I actually prefer the AE MKI mags over the AICS. They don't have the plate in the front so they allow for longer OAL and they feed a little smoother.
Is finding someone to inlet the stock pretty easy?
I can't seem to find one of these anywhere. I see one that is NOT drop in. Can you direct me to a link?

That is the drop in unit. As with any you may have to do some minor fitting which is no more than some light work with sand paper. The others however require serious inletting which should be done with a milling machine.
It says it is a mag combo.... how many round mags? Are the AE MKI mags expensive?
That should be just the bottom metal, no mag. They sell it was a combo with a mag too for a little north of $140. They also sell the mags alone for $70 and change. The MKI mag are 5 round single stack.
