Must be new, there were no DE mags (other than the one that ships with the rifle) available when I bought mine last year.
I ordered rifle just like above last fall and specified I wanted matching mags. When I checked on it's status a few weeks ago, I was told my rifle will be entering production next month. I made it clear to vendor my magazines will be Dark Earth color. Paying as much as that rifle is costing me,the mags darn well will be matching in color. Period.
I have to admit, the matching color thing gives me a chuckle. If you're actually running your rifle, then it's going to be scratched, banged up, and worn down, especially the mags! But I guess if you're dropping $7K on a rifle that'll sit in the safe except for when the boys come over to drool on it, you can fight to get what you want so everything's the exact same shade of brown...! 
(Don't tar and feather me, just having some good natured fun!)

Lol how much are you beating on your rifle that you can't see what color the mags and rifle are anymore lol?
Regardless, I would think most precision shooters have a decent dose of OCD to begin with.

Don't mind the comment. I shoot my rifles, frequently in fact. most often by myself at the range weekdays when it's quiet and in the bush plus a match or two once and awhile ( I like hunting more!). The only "boys" that touch/ admire my rifles are my sons when they come to visit and shoot up some of dad's ammo, leaving right before it's time to clean them or do some brass prep! The rifle is costing me more than my first two cars, the mags will out last me , so hell yeah I'd like them to match, I think that would please my boys down the road.I have to admit, the matching color thing gives me a chuckle.

Hahaha. The part about getting what you want for $7K+ was truth! I absolutely feel the same way, that it should be perfect for that amount! Everybody's idea of perfect is different, I guess. I consider a mag to be a consumable just like barrels. Eventually, they gotta be replaced. So for me, mag color doesn't even enter the picture. Sure, one in the "right" color for photos is cool, but it doesn't eat me up. More power to you if it's a concern on your end, I'm just having some fun is all. I'm 110% positive I have my own little "ticks" that others laugh at, haha.
And if my shooting frequency continues with the same level I'm at right now, my mags will look new forever! But that's gonna change soon. Work/school has been life for awhile, so before we start having kids, I gotta hammer out a few cases and make my gear look like I know what I'm doing!

Awesome rigs mate. I saw these on the Delta instagram feed. I'll be buying through them later this year.
What did they say? I had to loosen my GDI 2-3 turns to get it to close. I will use NF rings eventually but the rail should be in spec.
She arrived yesterday. I've been in love before with rifles, but this love is different; way different.

Short answer: yes and yes .
Longer answer: yes, the double stack double feed mags, (the aw and the identical [except for the added front lip] ax double stack mags) are for the triple-lug AI actions, while the double stack, single feed (short action) and single stack, single feed (long action) AICS mags (the AX versions are again identical but with an added front lip) work only with the chassis.
Does that make sense?

Just posted a pdf in the AW/AE/AICS mag diffrences thread. Hope this helps you out with your question.
Well... Is it sad that I look at this thread as motivation to go to class lol? Graduate in 5 weeks, get a good job and buy my own.
I appreciate the advice and encouragement! I'm ready to get the hell out, but as soon as I do I know I'll miss how "easy" it is. Anyway, I know I'll be thinking of a pale brown axmc topped with a s&b when I jump in the river after walking the stage. (Tx state tradition) Mark my words, I'll be posting mine here soonish.
eat ‘em up cats . . . . believe me, you’ll miss your time there. enjoy it as long as yu can. . . . couple extra semesters dont hurt . . .
PROOF anyone? Gosh, you have to admit this is drop dead gorgeous.
You could rent it out as a pony at parties to supplement your AI habit.
Tiktac, You can order them straight from the RRS website. Postage is a little exy. They have 2 different models; one for the AXMC (long action) and one for the AX .308 (short action - gen I and II).
The RRS plate is the same for the AX-AXMC rifles. The other version is for the AX AICS chassis
I found it very difficult to find out the difference between the bax15 and baxr15
RRS list this info
BAX15:
- BAX15 Accuracy International Auxiliary Body Plate for AI AIAX/AXMC
- (2) Safety Stop Screws
- 2.5mm Hex Key
- 4mm Hex Key
BAXR 15:
- BAXR15 Accuracy International Auxiliary Body Plate for AX AICS Mkl&Mkll Short Action
- (2) Safety Stop Screws
- 2.5mm Hex Key
- 4mm Hex Key
On a seperate note, if you muck up the order, you can ship back to RRS at your expense for a refund or swap.
