Hi Everyone! This is my first post, as I just joined today. I purchased a 308 Patriot a couple of years ago and love it. Fun to shoot. My only complaint was the small 5 rd magazine. I scoured the internet and found this: https://magsupplyusa.com/mossberg-p...-detachable-magazine-standard-action-308-win/ . I was so happy. I ordered one and took it and my Patriot to the indoor range. Sadly, after firing off 2 rounds, the bottom of the magazine flew off, with bottom plate, spring, cartridges and follower falling at my feet. The little tab that keeps the bottom plate from sliding forward had broken off. It was the only time I got to use it.
Later, I super-glued the bottom to the magazine body, and it was never going to come off again. I was going to try it again yesterday and loaded it up. My cat knocked it over on its side and all the cartridges flew out.
The little tabs that hold the cartridges down broke off, and were curled up (see photo)
Just wanted to share and say, buyer beware!
Cheers.....
