Re: AICS compatible 50-round drum mag
Yes. It's for real.
I've taken XS drum mag for AR-10 (in .308) and shaved off a bit from the sides
There were:
1. minor problem with internal spring (which pushes movable lip) but it was solved.
2. Issue with rem700 reciever getting in the way - it also was solved by removing bits of material in the points of contact

I think this pic is self-explanatory:
XS drum mag has single-stack feed by design so obviously it was just a question of fitting it inside AICS triggerguard. Luck also helped a bit

Now for the more important question...WHY??? (Aside from "because I could.")

The OP had mentioned that it was for IPSC competition where he competes in a manual division where some stages require more than 20 rounds.

I shoot IPSC in Manual open division.
This magazine was made just for the stages with more than 20 shots.

Oh yeah...I remember that thread now. I suppose if a competition necessitates it, then so be it. Looks like some pretty handy machining work.
Out of curiosity, will the magazine still fit/function in its original AR-10 host?

I didn't figure, but it was worth asking.
Thanks and be sure to report back once you've had a chance to run this setup in a comp.

What does that 50rd mag weigh in at, all loaded up?

Re: AICS compatible 50-round drum mag
Does it look like?
Well it was fun project. I'd prefer pmag with 20 rounds in it... but unfortunately it's almost impossible to install double stacker .308 inside rem700 without machining an action.
Mag itself weigh s 1.5lbs empty... add 50 rounds and you're there.

It doubles as a bipod
That is damn cool though. Well done!

Yes, for defending the Motherland against the Nazi aggressor swine.

I hope XS will design AICS tower for their mags - so it could be bought and would be supported by manufacturer

Nope. Biggest thing I have seen is ~14-16 rounds with a baseplate extension.
Guess I better practice reloading some more since my action uses AWs.
PMAG D-50 fits in a RPR. I've considered getting one just for the giggles at a match. The local match MD has been incorporating a "no round count" stage recently that I'd love to use it in. If my recollection is correct, the stage is cleanable in 6 shots.
If your rifle will accept a SR25 mag, a magpul 25 round M118LR mag with a Taran Tactical 5 round extension will get you to 30, though you'll need to do a bit of sanding on the internals to get it to feed all 30...
