I want to buy a Ruger American in 308 with magpul stock but someone told me they take acis mags not ar mags. What’s the difference?
I want this to pair up with my AR10

The Ruger American is a bolt action that takes its own magazines, it won't take AR mags, thats correct. The only compatibility to the AR10 is the .308 rpind.
AICS is a manufacturer i believe. They make mags for lots of different guns.

AICS = anything patterned for: Accuracy International Chassis System.
Most aftermarket chassis will accept AICS. For example the Magpul stock for the Ruger American, the MDT chassis's, and Sharps Bros Heatseeker will accept AICS mags.

Look for a Mossberg 7.62 MVP. It will take your mags.

Don’t be afraid of AICS mags. When they first came out there were only expensive metal mags available (which you can still buy and are near indestructible) but you can also buy magpul plastic ones that I have found extremely reliable. I have a bunch of five rounds one that I use for hunting and 10 round ones I use for PRS. The AICS was designed to be extremely reliable in feeding which I have found it to be.

Yeah, that’s what I was originally looking for but they’re like nonexistent in stores. I’d really like to get my hands on one before buying it.

Acis is a single stack, single feed design. They are in general more reliable. You can get then from ruger or magpul fairly inexpensively.
