Yeah, that and the reliable feeding compared to the factory BDL problems that sometimes pop up. Your numbers are pretty much bang on. With the plate removed, the max OAL in my AICS mags is 2.990-2.995", depending on which mag you measure. Knock off 0.020" for reliable feeding, and you end up with a max usable OAL of around 2.970".
