School me on 223 AICS mags

[Hickswr]

Put together a Aero Solus with a criterion 223 1:7 twist match chamber for a plinker.

Thought I had procured a 223 aics mag during MDT Black Friday sale but can’t find it anywhere.

Which AICS mag is reliable and accommodates long bullets?

Will be used in a KRG Bravo to start with.

• 3.055 Outside Length
• 3.90" Rear Height (same height as MDT 10-rd .308 metal magazines)
• 2.50 max cartridge overall length (COAL)
• Polymer feedlip inserts extend ~0.5" past the end of the metal feedlip backer, thus retaining the round longer, helping ensure the tip of the round has entered the chamber before the rear of the round is released.

• .223 REM family of cartridges: 10 Rounds
• MAX COAL: 2.44"

re: MDT clipazines for .223 Remington

The plastic ones they presently have do not look like the fugly ones I own, like the one below.

Looks like things have changed.

The steel ones can accommodate longer bullets compared to the plastic ones due to having thinner walls.

Can't speak for the KRG chassis - but from my personal misadventures - MDT clipazines in an MDT chassis never have any issues.

I use the MDT 10 round metal!
