Brits and other Commonwealth nations made inch pattern rifles , everyone else metric . Metric mags will fit loosely in inch rifles . Inch mags will not fit metric rifles .

CenturyArms.com has a good FAQ w/ picturs to help explain some of this .

If you have the correct mag for the rifle , they all pretty much function the same & shoot the same , if of equal quality .
