GordonB Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 Of the mag couplers in the market (the one that attaches two mags together) which one is the best (or which one are you using)? Are the Fobus OK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stingerjg Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 I used a Fobus till i got a Redi-mag. Worked well till you drop it on a reload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricW Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 Use tape and a spacer. The couplers are a joke. I'd do the "Ranger Reload" (extra mag held on the magwell with a piece of inner tube) before I'd resort to those crappy clamps again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill H Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 Every time I try one the top round on the unused mag works forward. I just carry all reloads on my belt now. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonB Posted January 26, 2004 Author Share Posted January 26, 2004 Tape is what I am using now. Only problem is, I think one of the mags may be a problem mag. Because of bulkiness I only have one set (two mags) taped. The rest are singles. Swapping out the bad one can't be easily done out in the field/match. Stinger, With the Fobus, say it does come apart with impact, can you still easily put them together after the stage is done? Will they remain together if you smack one of the mags while reloading?

I used the Fobus for all of the matches in the last year(8-9). I have never had a mag move even the slightest. Even if you slammed the s*~t out of the mags on reloading or dropping them on concrete the mags never shifted. I used a Mag-cinch befor and the mags moved all over tha place. If a mag did end up slipping out, all it takes is a screw driver to put it back in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChandlerSniper158 Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 I was squadded with a team when SOF was still SOF and they were all using the Ready-Mag carriers on thier rifles. We had a stage you had to start out shooting prone. Every one of them left thier spare mag on the deck when they got up to go to the next stage. I run mine on my belt or a drop rig, depending on the stage. CS#158 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacMan Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 I used the one Buffer Tech made, didn't like it. It's not that I didn't like the coupler, just the problem of top round in the spare mag bounced around and moved forward if the magazine isn't loaded to max capacity. Much quicker and more consistent to go for the spare mag from the belt, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlktheduk Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 Another low cost option, besides the tape & wood combination, is the (so-called) Israeli dual clip holder for M16 magazines. Advertised by SARCO and Gun Parts Corporation , www.e-GunParts.com (GPC item # 227080 @$4.85) I've used several, and other then the little detail that they are designed for the M-16 30-round magazine (.223 caliber) which is a problem if you're using something other then an AR style rifle, they have worked well for me. (admittedly, I'm not a real heavy-duty serious 3-gunner, so they may be better for casual use) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
