how can you get the plate out of the front of the AI mags without beating it all to crap,,,my 243 bbl is getting to where I could use the extra .100 in OAL,,the opening in the Stiller Tac 30 is plenty long ,,

who makes 5 round mags that will take the absolute longest OAL and fit the AICS magwell??

I hate to buy them if I can get the plate out of my AI mags without ruining them,,
 
Accurate mags and Alpha mags can be bought without the plate in front if I remember correctly. The plate can be removed in the mags you have by simply drilling out the two plug welds/spot welds that hold the plate in place. You will then have to weld up the holes and grind flush.
