Good to go. yup.....for normal mags; I started using these. The PMAG's seem to work, but it I ever had a mag issue it always seemed to be with a PMAG (not so with the D60 drum). BTW........I am working on a +10 (+12??) extension for the Lancer that will end up being a free down load for 3D printers.....I'll post a pic when I have it done.

I stick with Gen 3 Pmags, as i have had very few issues with them. I still have some gen 2's but i have had rounds thrown from gen 2's so they dont get any love anymore. Please send me all your mags that throw rds when dropped. I have been using the same GI aluminum mags in 3gun for15 years or so. None of them will pass your test. They all run fine. Many of the dropped mags I pick up at matches after a shooter has dropped them to reload have rds half in, half out. No problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCKLST Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 I run 40 round PMAG gen3 with TTI base and keep a 30 rounder with TTI base on belt. I have yet to run empty on a stage with that combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard good things about them, and they let you load as much as you think you'll need on a stage. I witnessed a Surefire 60 function all the way through a stage once. Its owner claimed he was going to spend his life savings on lottery tickets immediately after the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't dare sell them to anyone because after two trips back to Surefire they are still not working. I have not seen any shooters use them for a couple of years. My shooting buddy has five of them. One of them works most of the time. The other four are salt shakers after a few rds are fired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ziebart Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 My surefire mag has worked for me, but I've only used it a dozen times and I haven't taken it apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M1A4ME Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 I've got some PMags but haven't bought any new ones (for the AR15) in years. What I have bought for the AR15's is the aluminum mags. that PSA sells. They're supposed to be D&H mags. and they've been working well in all the ARs we have. Oh, just 30 rounders, too. I did buy a couple 20 round mags. awhile back for use on a bench when testing new rifles/new loads. I did buy some new PMags for the DPMS GII that's on order. We'll see how those work out. Midway had them on sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huafist Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I'm using 30rd PMags with the window. Had to shave down the ribs on the back so they'll fall free with my Arredondo magwell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Gerry made a point about how different mag lengths work for different scenarios so it makes sense to have 20s, 30s and plus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jswhitesell619 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 I'm currently using magpul pmags with the TTI basepads for a few extra rounds. Usually starts with a 40 with basepad in the gun and a 30 with basepad on my belt. The added weight with the basepads is an added bonus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still using the stock spring? As it gets weak, you will have issues with the last round feeding.......but good to know someone is using the files!!! (BTW....we do have long springs) How was the fit to your magazine? TIm PS.......I did print one out and put it on a magpul 40 round PMAG.....got 51 rounds!!!

jon49erfan Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 It fits tight, no wiggle. Printed with ABS at 25% fill, 100% size. I used F4 tape to hold it together for now. Good to know about the springs. I'll be ordering some soon. Like the monopod bottom. Although it looks odd overall, it performs great. And for under $1 in filament, totally worth it. I've also used your MPX extension and Stage Saver files. Stage saver was the first thing I made and had a slight problem with the edges lifting. I'll just sand it flat and call it good. Bolt release button is next. Way easier than drill/tap for a button. Really appreciate the files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep....no wiggle at 100% for sure......yeah, they do look odd, but function is awesome!!! Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyD Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Only Pmags. I carry an assortment a couple Gen 2 20rds and several 30rds + 2 Gen 3 40rders. I have a few GI style mags but I don't use them for matches and just have them in my cache. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vespid_Wasp Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 P-mags and Brownells aluminum mags. 20-30-40 rounder depending on stage round count, props, etc. I have a D60 and while it is too heavy for most situations, every once in a while it is just the thing for a big rifle stage that has say, a lot of long range and very little movement. Where you might be flirting with running out with a 40 round PMAG and a few misses. It is a royal pain in the ass to load those last 10 rounds though.

carlspeed Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 I used 30rnd window'd P-Mags. Great overall. The lip protector thing is great, and I leave a few mags loaded for defense. They have been loaded for probably 3 years this way. I shoot them on occasion and load them back up immediately. No issues at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
