FINALLY! 10-Rnd 300 Win AICS Mags and Thumbscrews!

[308MAUS3R]

The thumbscrews are pretty nice, especially if you have a long action (the cheek rest needs to be removed to remove the bolt).

The 10-round mag holds 11 rounds of 284 and works great.

I picked them both up from Midway:

Both very nice!

Keep us posted on how it feeds 284 etc.

Very cool about the 11 round cap!

Thanks for the post.

I had some of those 10rd mags at one point. They are so long and heavy I sold them for the 5 rounders.

+1!!

I have kept one of my original AI 10-round 300WM magazines from the initial contract overrun just for "the sake of it," but I have sold all my others in the last couple months or so. They are DAMN long and a royal PITA to field because of the length.

With that said, the $149.99 per mag that MidwayUSA is selling them for is a good deal compared to the $250+ prices these mags have been fetching. Now that they seem to be importing these mags again, I am sure prices will equalize somewhere around the $150 mark or less over time.
