What mag kit to use for 6br,6 dasher, 6bra

There's a few kits (HRD, Primal Rights) or you can get the MDT BR mags. I run the latter for BRA and they're great.
Pretty straight forward. Just remove the magazine base plate, take out the existing mag spring and follower, and install spacer kit and new mag spring/follower.
I use the pva kit, I think they will all work well since they all keep the cases forward in the mag.
Mine isn't. May not be the mag's fault, but it has issues about 15% of the time. Haven't had it long, so maybe I haven't learned the idiosyncrasies of it.
This is a 6BR in 700 Rem action.
@Tyler Kemp , you guys still working on your BR mag kits or did I miss them? I remember seeing a post of yours a year or two ago about these.
I got a bit sidetracked, but I actually just made a batch on my new machine to try out. It prints super smooth, super nice tolerances, etc.
Ideally, you need to tweak any mag, including AI AICS, to optimally run in your rifles. And that's for every cartridge.
Just part of the game, and it's not just MDT mags.
Didn't say otherwise. I tweak all my mags for optimal fit, and the MDT mags work great.
I was making that point for other people's sake. Didn't want people to think that MDT mags require more tweaking then other mags.
Has no one else had luck just trimming off a couple coils from a Magpul 10rd AICS? Know it doesn't hold 12rds.
I tried one just factory and it jammed up, then tried a spring from a 5rd one worked pretty good.
So left about 1 extra coil on from 5rd spring, trimmed roughly 2.5 coil off the 10rd spring.
Has worked pretty flawless, or is it a your results may vary. Running 6br in a Origin/MPA chassis combo.

I ran some in a KRG Bravo/ Magpul 5 round/Origin and they fed like butter.
Tried the same with a Rem 700 and it didn't work very well.
I believe the controlled feed on the Origin helped tremendously over the push feed 700.

That's a very good point, I wasn't consider why the popularity of the Magpul AICS might have not taken off in other actions, since most don't seem to be CRF.
I should have clarified that I'm speaking of feeding 6-BR cases.
Anything remotely resembling a 308/243/22-250/Creed feeds just fine.
