Mag Differences
Ok, noob to the 6.8, but I have a question. What is the differences between a .223 AR magazine and a 6.8 SPC AR magazine? Other than the SS vs Aluminium swelling issue, is it the follwer that is the main difference and could one change the follower in a .223 mag with one for the 6.8?
Sorry if this has been asked before.

Okay, I'll shut up. Some fellas have to keep their tongues flappin' but not me. I was brought up right. My pa used to tell me to shut up and I'd shut up. I wouldn't say nothin'. One time darn near starved to death. WOULDN'T TELL HIM I WAS HUNGRY!!

The internal dimension ( the ribs ) are wider, the feed lips are a little different and the follower is different to allow the larger cartridges to fit properly.
Sure, you can put a few rounds in a 5.56 mag.
It may work, but you can't call it reliable.

Plus, most 6.8 mags I've seen are stainless steel to prevent the mag from bulging when loaded.
Thanks fellas, just curious about the diff. I'm not going to try to beat this dead horse and shall go buy new 6.8 mags.

One more question.
May I add one more question regarding 6.8 SPC magazines? Do they use the same springs the 5.56 magazines?
