IHMSA15151 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 I've been thinking of grabbing one of the PMag 60 rd drum mags with all the sales going on right now. Anyone running one? Main use would be for 3 gun (and of course zombies). How do you like it and does if function reliably or have you had issues? Thanks, Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archangelgt Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 No problems running, it is heavy and takes a long time to load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve133 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 I personally have dived face-first into a muddy creek bed with one loaded into my rifle, and it still ran for the rest of the weekend. After the mud started to dry and flake off on the inside, it got a little finicky about feeding when I loaded more than 50 rounds or so, but that cleared up when I broke it down and cleaned it. I've also seen people drop loaded D60s in the mud, pick them up, and have them run fine after just shaking them off a little bit. They're pretty reliable overall.

gerritm Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I have never seen one fail, many of the local guys here are shooting them including my son & granddaughter. One hint we were told to load them more easily is to use a Magpul Striplula. Just got one and have not tried it. gerritm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darqusoull13 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 It's made by Magpul. You buy them because they work. Take the thing out of the box, use it. Continue to use it for years. Mine has been rock solid with anything I've shot through it. Same for friends. We have a 5 stage, 50 round per stage match with winning times in the ~15 second range and for those matches the D60 is king. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best deal I found was yesterday for $93 at Primary Arms. Not sure if it was a Cyber Monday thing or if they still have them at that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farinx Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 I've had really good luck with them. The first time I used one was when I borrowed it at a major match and it ran like a top. I bought one as soon as I got home. The are a huge pain to load and unload though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nate89 Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 I bought one, then got another after I had such good luck with it. I also really appreciate how stable it is when shooting off of the magazine in a prone position. Locks open when empty, is fairly easy to load once you get the hang of it.

davsco Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 any issues with leaving them chock full? any issues with cramming them full or do you need to count/stop at 60 (or download one or two)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt1911 Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Load it up to 60 and have fun. It's my go to mag on big stages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nolan Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 The only thing I've found is if you run your rifle with adjustable gas turned way down, it may be necessary to turn the gas adjustment up one or two clicks for it to be reliable in cold weather. Well, as cold as it gets here in CommieUnicornia. 52 degrees today, BRRRRRRR. Nolan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toothandnail Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 mine has been great all weather, rain, sleet snow, all temps, from around 20 to 98. I have never dropped it in mud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greatlakes08 Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Does anyone know if there is a base pad made for the D60 to make it even more stable when shooting prone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ming the Merciless Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 I've seen a couple, but they were home brew 3d printed. They were a very simple design and were just glued on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be something to ask Robin Taylor about at Taylor Freelance. He makes some great mag bases with mounting attachment for regular style AR mags.

IHMSA15151 Posted December 28, 2019 Author Share Posted December 28, 2019 So a follow up. I took my D-60 to the range today and tested it with my 3 Gun rifle, the wife's home defense rifle and a guy that just happened to be at the range who had an AR with him. It worked flawless in all three rifles. I tested it full to the max and with just 10 or so left in it. Not one issue. It wasn't freezing out but was on the cold side, in the low 40's first thing this morning. It takes a little getting use to as far as loading it up but once I found a technique that worked well for me it wasn't all that bad. Definitely something you want to do way before you're "on deck".

DFIVE3 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 I have been running a D60 as my primary mag for about a year now. I have only had one issue with it not feeding properly. When I pulled the mag out of the mag well, I got to witness the "fountain of gold" when the mag unloaded by itself while I was making ready. I will agree, loading it takes a while and is something best done right after your run and not while you are on deck or in the whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
