ARC mags

Picking up a Bravo for the REM tomorrow. Need to get a magazine, comments on the ARC?

They work great until you get them dirty. The other thing to know, they won’t work well with a stock rem 700 as they do not have a binder plate to limit rounds shifting forward and hangin up under your feed ramp. If you get your rem’s feed ramp notched, this is a non issue.

They jam if you even sneeze near them, stick with AI

Don't buy them, and don't buy Alpha mags either... in my experience. AI, Accurate-Mags, have worked fine for me. The feed lips may need tweaking for best function with any of the metal ones, depending on action/bottom metal etc.

The ARC mags were a great idea, just not that reliable.

Really wished they were reliable, as they have a nice low profile footprint.

I run ARC mags in my comp rifles. I replaced the followers with the aluminum ones from LRI. They work great. Haven’t had any issues.

I run them also - love them.

no complaints.

Outside of AI and Accurate Mag, I've had good luck with the MDT 12 rounders. I think they needed a little more tweaking than my AI mags to feed smooth but now that they are set I haven't had any issues.

I've heard from fellow competitors that the MDT mags are good to go also

ARC mags wouldn’t work with my Remington or Curtis Axiom. I would have to modify the action and wasnt willing to do it. Never fired a shot using them as they wouldn’t work in the living room.

I run ARC mags in my Bravo with a Nucleus action. I didn’t have any issues with mine, but a buddy of mine picked one up that would bind up with everything. After about 10 minutes with a dremel, I got it working fine. I wouldn’t recommend them though, there are much better upticks out there.

Also running ARC mags in a Nucleus/ KRG W3 setup. Relatively early in my experience but no issues to date after several trips to the range.

I have a bravo/origin, and bravo/T3 ARC mags stop working when dirty. I suggest AI mags.
