Magpul is clearly missing the boat here, somebody needs to start making them again. S/S for the win,as it can use thinner stock,to eek more COAL...less failure. Prolly why S/S Stoners tend to be my favorite for Utility................ Brad says: "Can't fault Rick for his pity letting you back on the fire... but pity it was and remains.

Not enough to make it work. If the numbers worked, it would have been done by now. We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

It's funny how noone REALLY gets it and does it right. Gassers are often spun right,but wayyyyyyyyyyy shy in COAL latitude,yet lotsa 308 lengthed bolt gun's wear 14" twist rates. Bullets matter much more than headstamps.............. Brad says: "Can't fault Rick for his pity letting you back on the fire... but pity it was and remains. Nothing more, nothing less.

Gains come both fore and aft,due wall thickness reductions........... I guess it's just the picture but the middle Stoner mag (bottom pic) looks shorter up front than the Colt or Magpul. How much do you gain with the Stoner? If it's not enough to get the case mouth to hold a 75 Amax, I don't think it'd be a gain. Even though some here run them (75Amax) as is, I don't care to take the chance. Last edited by TWR; 08/15/14.

Magpul's go 2.255" on the average...Stoner's go 2.310" on the average. Noone loves A-Max more than I,but I don't drive with ogives below case mouths............

I went the other route in mention of the '10 for logistictitude. Pass me the 2.5" COAL '15 and get outta the way!.............(grin) Brad says: "Can't fault Rick for his pity letting you back on the fire... but pity it was and remains. Nothing more, nothing less.
