KRG Bravo with AW mags (AW cut actions)
- Thread starter Mr. F
- Start date
Not Bravo, but running my TL3 AW cut with a Whiskey 3. Tried AW mags and couldn't get it to feed reliably. Tried tuning feed lips but still couldn't get it to work. Don't have enough experience with tuning mags.
Currently use MDT 12rnd and Accurate mags.
Also got a AW cut Impact barreled action on order. Will see if it works out with a spare Bravo I have.

Just typical magazine fitting (trim the latch for proper height, adjust feed lips for smooth feeding)
Bravo/Impact action w AW mags, 6.5CM:
In my pre-order conversations with KRG I mentioned using AW mags. They sent me one of their "extended" mag catches. My AWs arrived the other day, I installed the catch and they lock in snugly, no trimming needed. Just had to tweak the feed lips a little to get proper feeding geometry. I had been using some magpuls prior to arrival of the AWs and so my load COAL was set for the magpuls. The AWs may need further tweaking if I extend the COAL of my reloads. Very easy to do with a Brownells mag tool I originally purchased for AR mags.

I've done a brave and impact 737 with AW mags. Original impact, so had to cut the action open for the customer.
Have put (tested) ultimatum u300 and deadline, both seem to work but require relief at th back of the action. To get the mag up high enough.
I have a bravo at work, and a spare deadline I can take pics, but probably not relevant for you.
I've rarely found a combination that works flawlessly first try. Everything requires tweaking. That's what the gunsmiths job is. If they can't do it, or don't know how, find a different 'smith.

Badger M2013, krg w3, aw mags, no issues, really designed for the 3 lug, no issues with a short throw lug and proper cut, used an extended mag catch on an action once.
I was pretty happy I didn't have to trim the mag catch at all. Next, I may experiment on one of the magpul mags and get it to work with the extended catch (sorry for thread drift).
I run a TL3 with AW mag cut. Worked well from day 1. It’s in 308. The only time it has an issue is when I only neck size. It’s hard to push forward with AI AW mags. I switch to 223 and run aics mags with zero issues, but it’s an aics mag in an AW cut.
Quick update...So i got the longer mag catch from KRG, had to sand it down.
With AICS mags, it fit, but then the feed lips were too high.
With AW mags, it would not fit at all.
After a few sessions sanding down the catch, finally got both AICS and AW mags to fit and work. The mag catch is slightly longer than the one that came with the Chassis.
Sorry i don't have measurements.

Just a note, this was done on Whiskey 3 Chassis, not a Bravo.
Picking up my Impact barreled action later today with AW cut, i may put it in a Bravo, but i have a nice ACC ready for it.
