NRL HUNTER MAGAZINES FAQ

What types of magazines should I consider for an NRL Hunter rifle?

Magazines for NRL Hunter must ensure quick feeding and brass extraction during NRL Hunter matches. AICS-pattern designs are preferred for compatibility with custom actions like Remington 700 clones. Double-stack options, such as Magpul PMAGs or metal magazines from Accuracy International, provide 5 to 10 round capacities, balancing weight for Open Light rifles with durability in rugged terrain.

What are the best magazines for NRL Hunter Open divisions?

Magpul PMAG 5- or 10-round AICS magazines are great for Open Light due to their lightweight design, reliable feeding in calibers like 6.5 Creedmoor, and affordability. In contrast, Accuracy International AICS metal magazines excel in Open Heavy for their durability and precise tolerances, though they weigh slightly more. MDT and RS Magazines offer hybrid options with metal feed lips to enhance durability.

Why choose AICS-pattern magazines for NRL Hunter builds?

AICS (Accuracy International Chassis System) magazines are popular in NRL Hunter competitions due to their compatibility with chassis and actions such as the Impact 737R, allowing for easy integration without custom modifications.

How does magazine material affect NRL Hunter performance and durability?

Magazine materials, such as polymer and metal, significantly influence weight, durability, and feeding reliability in NRL Hunter's challenging conditions. Polymer magazines are lightweight and corrosion-resistant, ideal for the Open Light category, but they may crack upon impact. In contrast, metal magazines are heavier but offer greater durability and consistent feeding in dirty or muddy environments, making them suitable for Open Heavy.

Why is magazine compatibility with actions crucial for NRL Hunter builds?

Ensuring magazine compatibility with your action is vital for reliable feeding during NRL Hunter's timed stages. AICS-pattern magazines, common in Open division actions like the Impact 737R, fit most chassis and support 6.5 Creedmoor, reducing misfeeds.
