Red_Dot Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I just picked up a set of nickel mags at a great price. Love how they look but haven’t had a chance to put rounds thru them yet. i also had a set of MecGars with the matte AFC coating that wore off the contact points pretty quickly. I’m not sure it made much of a difference in total though. is there a consensus on if the nickel bodies are ACTUALLY better than the AFC coated ones?

PRanta Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 I use only nickel coated mags. AFC is initially slicker, but wears off easily. My nickel coated mags look like a new after many years of hard use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbrconst Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Just bought the nickel mags for Shadow 2. I think they drop easier. AND they're purty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregJ Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 I've run both. Prefer the Nickle. Especially if you get caught shooting a match in a rain storm. The coated will rust up pretty quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corrado_kid Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 I would think the nickel would be the way to go. I have mecgars but haven’t had any issues. I keep them clean and spary then down with hotshot cleaner which has a dry film lube in it which works nice to have the mags drop easier.
