I would like a few 5 and 10 rd. mags. Good source recommendation? Fair price and fair shipping desired. Thanks guys.

What pattern of AR-10 magazine? There are two.

The less common Armalite/AR-10B pattern? Or the more common SR-25/AR-10A pattern?

If the latter, then 7.62 PMAGs from Magpul are going to be your best bet. High quality, inexpensive, and widely available. They offer 10, 20, and 25 round magazines.

10 round 7.62 PMAGs will run you $14-$19 a pop at various online stores, plus shipping.

Looks like Brownells has them for $16.99 with free shipping using coupon code TACTICALFS, which is likely going to be your best out the door price currently, especially if you're only buying a few:

You're not going to find a 5 round magazine, due to the length needed to go from the bottom of the magwell to the bolt. With a 10 round magazine, only the baseplate protrudes from the bottom of the magwell. You couldn't go shorter than that.

So the closest thing would be a 10 round magazine that's been blocked internally to only hold 5, which is pointless... Just get normal 10 round magazines and only load 5 rounds at a time if that's all you want in the magazine.

Magpul does make a 5 rd. limiter kit if that is something you actually need.

Duramag makes good ones too. Stainless and nitrided if you don’t care for plastic
