OP
Well the 5rd Promag arrived yesterday..... overall the magazine is about 1.25 inches shorter than the 10rd P-mag. It gives the Ruger kind of a .303 Enfield "Sporter carbine" look...........or kinda like a CZ 527 with it's 5rd magazine. As a CZ fan I like the look vs. the longer 10rd mag.
Super tight fit against the bolt w/ 5 rounds loaded...but the mag locks into the mag well........but it's really hard to cycle the bolt with a fully loaded mag. But seems to cycle fine with 4 or from an open bolt with 5.( will leave the mag fully loaded for a week or so to see if it loosens up.)
First impression is; this will be a good/OK mag for range or hunting use (maybe not for SHTF or risk your life or limb work)..... with AR mags as an option. Maybe carry a spare 10 round P-mag.in a Safariland belt clip mag pouch. Also added a tan braided paracord sling I got on Amazon for $16.
This will be my primary Penn's Woods Coyote rifle..... so 4 or 5 +10 should be good to "grab and go" out the door.
Off to the range either today or tomorrow.
