    Unhappy 308 AR magazine help?

    Hey Everybody, was wondering if someone here could point me in the right direction

    Just bought an Anderson manufacturing AM-10, which I'm told takes the same mags as Remington R25s and DPMS 308s, and it came with two absolutely crap "5 round" mags that refuse to work very well at all.

    For starters, with 5 rounds in there I can't make the mag click home with the bolt closed. Can do with four but requires significant upward force.
    Then as I draw the charging handle back, all four rounds and the follower tilt backwards (theres nothing keeping the follower straight) as the bolt rides over the top cartridge, and they stay that way so that when I let fly with the bolt, the arse end of that first round is sitting too low and the bolt lugs miss it completely, closing on empty. Also, I'm pretty sure the spring in there is a little 223 one and the large piece of wood serving as a limiter slides around against the floor plate freely. After spending 3 grand on a rifle I'm pretty frustrated.

    Is there anyone who can point me to a site or shop that sells good quality A-Cat 308 mags? 5 or 7rd, I'm not bothered, I just want this damn thing to work.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated
