.308 mags

Accurate mag will allow for the longest coal of the bunch and is a good mag.
AICS is a known standard, and you'll pay for it, but theyll work as intended.
Magpul is obviously cheaper, but they have thicker dimensions since they use polymer and not metal. As a result you have a much shorter coal for reloading purposes, and if my memory is correct its right at SAAMI spec and not much more.

If you're not loading ammo yourself then pick up the magpul and save some money, but if you are going to reload then take your pick from aics or accurate mag

The difference between AICS and Accurate Mag is $10 (or $30 for the three I intend to buy, which is effectively nothing given they'll be used for a loooong time and can be used on other rifles).

Which would recommend between the two?

Are you me?
I just bought a Howa 1500 too.
I was looking into alpha mags.

>>33747753
I heard Alpha mags are flimsy and/or require slight modification to feed reliably. Double check though

Don't aics mags require some filing too?

I bought the 24" barrel and a mdt lss chassis.

Is the shitty reviews for the 10rd accurate mags due to user error or are they justified?

I've had to bend the foremost part of the lips up a little to make mine feed reliably (3 ten round magazines and one five round magazine), but it's no big deal after already having taken a Dremel to the stock to fit the bottom metal.

Pics? I might have to do the same.

Here you go. I'd get you a better picture, but on account of not having my computer around, I can't use a proper camera. Not much to see anyway, just carefully bend them out slightly with some pliers. If you have issues with the magazine feeding, of course.
I bought my bottom metal from Roedale Precision, and I fucking tell you never ever again I fuckin tell you what. 14 days delivery time they promised, fourteen weeks it took, and I had to file down the rear portion of the trigger guard so I could pull the trigger. Right bunch of wankers.

Gotcha thanks. I'll post some pics when I finally get my hands on my Howa around may 9th.

For lube, I'm planning mixing hexagonal boton nitride (hBN) into slip2000.
Barricade as a protectant.
Hoppes 9 and 7.62 solvent for cleaning.

I bought a demo-A SWFA SS 3-15X42 scope off samplelist.com for 100 bucks off so I'm excited about that too.

Magpul is generally really good. Much better value, and still very reliable.
