Will the AICS magazines function for the 6.5 Grendel?

Yes, but you will need to modify the innards of the plastic magazine somewhat to get the cartridge to the feed lips, and then modify the feed lips.

It is a fairly easy job to do if you know what you are doing.

My apologies for the delay.

You can see the difference in the feed lips. Modified on the left, stock on the right.

And inside the magazine with the cartridge guide ribs. These need to be modified until the cartridge falls through without interruption, then work on the feeding from the lips.

You need to not only have the cartridge come out of the magazine, but it must be the correct height.
