I finally was aware of this discussion. Here is my take to date.
Machining a wider mag body with a billet is not very hard to do. Setup to run that will require about 25 units. Cost around 225. I don't think much would need to be done with the upper, but I would need more research to verify this.
As to the 68 mag working - I again would need to more research. I personally run the 6.8 SPC PRI mags loaded to 25 rounds and have had no issues. Our customers are buying them from us and none have complained of feeding issues. They are $47.
I have asked Lancer to work with us in making a dedicated 6.5 cal mag and they aren't much interested unless I commit to 10,000 mags. You do the math. That is a lot of money.
