Zero experience with the platform. What's the sweet spot for magazine size? Are 20's the standard like 30rd AR mags? Are 15's more comfortable? Like 20 round AR9 and Ar15 mags? Are 25 rounders overkill? Eight years to retirement! Just waiting! | ||

Yes, 20s are standard, and balance well. 25s are a little long but are workable. I have a couple 10s for benched shooting/sighting. Never tried 15s. | |||

10's are good sometimes for bag or bench work, but the 20's work very well never used the bigger mags, since the 20 was pretty much standard, and I have a schload of them https://chandlersfirearms.com/chesterfield-armament/ | |||

+1 for using the 10's off the bench. I have also tried a few makes not made by S/A and they flex too much when fully loaded, and bulge out on sides, with a few jams. I'd say stick with the S/A. ------------------ The plural of anecdote is not data. -Frank Kotsonis | |||

SAI doesn't make mags. SAI's mags are made for them by Checkmate, and you can get non-SAI-branded Checkmate mags for less than SAI-branded mags. They are identical magazines, other than the logos stamped on the baseplate. | |||

That’s what I’ve read. Waiting for some to come back in stock. Eight years to retirement! Just waiting! | |||

Yeah, that M14 video guy... |
I use 5’s and 20’s the most. 5’s are good for shooting single feed off a sandbag, hunting, and shooting the standing stages of service rifle competitions for hand position. 20ks for everything else.

Ordered a half dozen 20s to just have a few on hand. The gun shipped with one 5 rounder. Thank you, gentlemen. Eight years to retirement! Just waiting! | |||

I have 20 and 10 rounders. As noted the 10 is best for bench shooting, while 20 is the standard. One benefit of the 10 is that if you have guests, it limits the extent of the expensive mag dump.
