I received my order Saturday. They were still in stock yesterday when I checked.

There will be many arguments about which USGI brand is the best, but in 5.56 terms, OKay/Surefeed is usually at the top and ASC is lower down if not outright despised - BUT a lot of that has to do with business practices. There are surely worse mags than ASC.
I would consider C-Products/Duramag before ASC, but that's just me. (ASC and C-Products have a twisted/blended relationship which I can never remember the details, and seem to have changed in construction at various times.
I have some ASC that I don't feel are as good of quality as they should be - BUT I can't recall at what "phase" they were purchased.
All that said - 308 mags may not behave the same as 5.56 mags and it's hard to find good info on 308 mags.
Here are a few in stock 5 rd 308 mags
C Products $17

Good luck!
A 5rd mag built to minimum length would not extend very far beyond the mag well. I had some Colt 5rd 5.56 mags , but they used a plastic extension to make them almost as long as a 20.
I have a few 10rd P-mags for my LR-308. Much better prone or from the bench.
To make yinz feel better about mag prices, I just found a deal on surplus 5.56 HK93 40 round magazines, only $60 a piece shipped! Normal price is $80 a piece + shipping.
About the only info I can find thru the inter webs is that ASC used to be C products and the quality apparently got better once it was ASC producing the mags.
I’ll probably give it a go. Would have been better if I could have bought the full Magpul kryptek build kit that came with a 5rd mag but CDNN was out of stock. The only thing left was the lower build kit.
I put my wife on my account over the summer and I was wondering if she saw my purchases. Well I now know that the answer is yes.
I'm sorry!
