Got my ARC magazines order complete notification tonight
- Thread starter craigos
- Start date
I ordered one on Thursday and got a tracking number yesterday. No movement on usps tracking as of yet. I'll update when it gets here.
I spoke to Ted yesterday.
Retail orders for magazines were all packed and given to the shipping outlets yesterday. Dealer orders are almost all packed and going to shipping outlets on Monday/Tuesday/Wed this week. It depends on where the dealer was in the line of orders. They are being packed/shipped in the order that they were placed, starting at SHOT.
Anyone with a mag on order from PVA: I checked, Ted said we were #2 on the dealer order list (I placed the order day 1 of SHOT) and that our shipment is going out tomorrow. We should see them towards the end of this week. I will be working dilligently next week to get the retail orders boxed up and shipped out.

Ordered mine last Thursday on the site and it came in today. A few pictures comparing it to the ctr magazine. Fit tight in the xlr element, and doesn't drop free. Haven't checked to see if feeds well with the tikka yet, but I'll update when I do.
Ordered from the ARC site a couple months ago got email but not the magazine yet....nice rifle have basically a clone of it.
Got my 3 in today. I'm running a 6.5 SAUM so I had to bend the feed lips out just a hair to get them to feed the larger diameter cases. That said, the material/heat treat on these is significantly better than the alpha mags I was using. No bulging, and significantly more force required to bend the lips. They feed great, very smooth. The coating on them is pretty slick. Time will tell how they work in the long run, but just getting the lips right and testing it out tonight, probably 5-10 full loads on each magazine, they're looking pretty good.
For those curious, I bent the lips so that the inside-to-inside distance on the top of the lips was about 0.410-0.415" in the rear, and right about 0.435" in the front. Gives slick function with my 6.5 SAUM. YMMV.
They drop free from my PTG dbm.
ETA: They hold 6 SAUM rounds. Alphas theoretically hold 7, but the top round feeds like shit because it's so tight, I was only ever loading 5-6 in the alphas anyway. ARC mag is about 3/8" shorter than an Alpha 10 rounder.
