The manufacturer specifies that it's suitable/compatible with a 7600 remington. I'll be pissed off if it doesn't cycle properly I paid $260 for it, IT BETTER EFFIN WORK!


Thats why I haven't taken the plunge yet lots of cash to spend if it didn't work lol.. But if you could let me know how you go That would be great. Cause than I'll buy it lol

Quick review:

Wild dog works flawlessly with the 7600! Sits snug with no room for play or wiggle. Feeds brilliantly into mag..

I'm looking at getting another magazine though to try next.. anyone heard of the lucky 13 mags?

I wonder if these are plastic or what?

Hit me up if you have tried them or know anyone that did..

Thanks,

No modification required. No gun smithing, it's an Australian custom made ready to use mag suitable for a 7600.

And phucktifiknow what Billet alloy is and can't find a defnition online... at least not clear ones.

Billet is a bar of metal. A billet alloy magazine means it was machined out of a block, rather than folded from a sheet.

It's often worded poorly in marketing making it sound like the metal itself is a substance name 'billet' which it's not.

Always thought billet was a type of metal too reading how it's written on these things :oops:

Gold Coast Shooters supplies have KKK 10 rnd steel mags (7600/.308) for $70 each
Lucky 13 billet alloy 10 rnd mags (7600/.308) are about $180 each
Wild Dog mags seem to be even more expensive (I have heard of prices of $250 each) and so I never sort them out.

The KKK mags have a reputation for unreliability, yet I have 4 of them for my 7600 Police and never had a problem. The Lucky 13 mags are apparently very reliable, though they are very expensive. You can get your local gun smith to 'function test' magazines.
