I prefer the 5rd AM for Utility,but keep MDT Herd Clips in the ruck(and everywhere else).
I'm in Reload Mode,so it's no thang to grab fresh pics.
2.560" COAL 88 ELD.
Same in a 5rd AM(I've modded this mag prior).
Same in a MDT Herd Clip,in issued guise and it VERY nearly fits.
Nothing to "remove",on the back wall of a MDT.
The front can be relieved with a lineal centered groove,if required.
I don't shoot any throats,as long as your's,but the AM steel can be tailored to allow 2,560" easily. Simply stuff box with empties and use a 1/4" round file to open up the nose. Takes 30 seconds.
Nice way to fly,for certain....................
