(I'm in Canada, so US ITAR export regulations make it easier for me to deal with Canadian retail channels).
I'm trying to find a Canadian retailer selling box magazines from *stock* that will function in a .308 Win BLR Lightening rifle.
Browning's web site lists different SKU's for the
.243 (112026011) vs .308 (112026012) box magazines for the Browning BLR Lightening lever-action rifle.

http://www.browning.com/products/catalog/accessories/itemdetails.asp?item=112026012&cid=112&tid=907
Other retailers (including Brownells) say the 112026011 SKU can be used for:
243 Winchester, 6 mm Remington, 7 mm - 08 Remington, 308 Winchester.
http://www.brownells.com/magazines/rifle-magazines/magazines/magazine-prod1924.aspx
(I know all of these cartridges cases have the same parent, just have different diameter necks+projectiles.).
So, can the .243 and the .308 version of that magazine be interchanged or not?
I can find Canadian retailers listing the .243 SKU variant but not even listing the .308 SKU. The Canadian retailers listing the .308 SKU variant have no stock at present.
Thanks
