mpeltier Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 If you guys recommend steel mags, what kind are the best and reasonably priced? Fusil......the ones I have and used would probably survive anything you can throw at it. Reasonably priced as well. I still love my p-mags though.

mike cyrwus Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I can easily overinsert them during a mag swap. My aluminum usgi mags worked fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vespid_Wasp Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I can easily overinsert them during a mag swap. My aluminum usgi mags worked fine. Interesting. Hadn't heard of that myself. So with the bolt locked back from running a mag dry, you can run the mag past the mag catch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XD Niner Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I've had no problem with any of my P-Mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlamoShooter Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I just got a call tonight from a friend that shot the AR15 target match = every stage his pmag messed up and he kept useing it. Today he spent time at the range and could not get it to malfunction. I didn't ask him why he kept using it after the first stage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outerlimits Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Luv pmags...use them a couple times and sell 'em...kinda like a beta mag. Fusil the bomb! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olp73 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 If you guys recommend steel mags, what kind are the best and reasonably priced? I wonder the same!! anyone? I only use Pmags and have only good experience with them. Actually I have never owned anything else since I am new to rifle……I live in Norway and wonder if anyone have bad experience with Pmags in really cold weather. Some plastics get harder in the cold and this could lead to cracking or that is what I fear!! Should I use them in extreme cold or get some aluminum once for this?

gerritm Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I shot the AR15 Targets match and saw many rifle problems. Most were cases getting stuck and bad ammo, some were misfeeds. It was really windy and dusty. I kept my rifle covered and still had dust everywhere. I have noticed with my P-Mags and Nordic ext. if I download them to 46 I have no problems.

shooterready Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 PMags working great for me as well. Nordic extensions 100% as well. I've got the older aluminum coupler design. Both of these work flawless. Magazines are like guns. They need to be maintained, inspected, cleaned, etc. When one doesn't work, it goes into the scrap bin or practice only pile. As stated before, cracks at the spine of PMags are generally the issue when they don't work. Just keep an eye on them and send them back when they fail. Magpul will replace them.

BD Williamson Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I have noticed that I started to have some feeding issues in the past couple of weeks. I really thought something was going wrong with my rifle but after doing a major teardown and cleaning I could find nothing wrong with the gun. I went back out and tried again with the same p-mags that I have been using for the past 3 years with no problems and had feeding issues again. Any way I got out some brand new units and have had no more problems with feeding. I think between the high temps and the UV here in Arizona it take there toll on the mags and me using them quite a bit that it was time for replacement. I think the 2 year rule will be put in place for me and have put the date on all the mags I just put into service. I could not find any cracks or damage on the mags but there was a bid difference in when I pinched the feed lips together with my fingers. The old mags were really soft and had more flex than the new mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keno34 Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 My Pmag with the NC extension has always ran great, however I have seen several 30 rounds have a variety of problems. Some don't lock the bolt back while others don't fall free. I use them in training but no longer use them in matches or on duty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
