    Great post.

    I appreciate the time and effort that goes into making them, I tried once. Have started rewatching them on nightshift.

    Interesting that you found some magazines still have "issues" with the GT. The primary reason I've sworn off 6 ARC/Valkyrie etc is the feed issues. I had a set of 6GT dies but never built the rifle as my experiments with dummy rounds showed that it wasn't infalible either - for me it only takes 1 in 50 or so (I.e. very occasional) feed problems to fustrate the hell outta me.

    The Magpul 10 rounder has a mag design issue not a feeding issue. The mag body bulges out when loaded with 10rd and the follower tilts and binds up.

    The Magpul 5/6 work perfectly and the AI 10 works perfectly after a small tweak to the feed lips - it didn't pick up rd 9 which is more of a rifle/mag setup issue than cartridge issue.

    I had the same issues but when I looked at it I found that the magazine well had a lot of clearance on the sides of the magazine so I epoxied into the stock two pieces of the correct size aluminium sheet metal to stop the bulging and it feeds as it should. The mag is a bit firmer to push in and extract but I don’t care. It works
