Because they want BC that we already have. They want performance...There are a couple of different things going on. There are the performance guys who want to take advantage of the Six8's bigger mag well, to get steel mags that would permit cartridge OAL of 2.40" or more. Then there are the hunters and bench shooters who want low-capacity Pmags for compliance with hunting regs and handiness when firing from a bench rest.
Quote:Another way around this, which is the conclusion we came to years ago, is to make a Lancer-style magazine with metal body and feed lips in the mag well, and a polymer mag body outside of the gun. There is your 30rd or higher capacity magazine that will stack correctly.Except that is not a polymer mag. It is half steel, and half polymer. Why not just stick with an all-steel mag?
