PaulW Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Just got 7 of the new Magpul 30 rd AR mags. They all drop free, easy to take apart to clean and seem very tough. Can't wait to try them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Freeman Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Here is what can happen when you drop them on a stage. They seem to gather more mud than other mags... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blkbrd Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Had to buy a 6 pack to test out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Thomas Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 I bought 10 of them. Got a chance to try them out this weekend, and they performed flawlessly. I can't wait for the clear/smoke Pmags to come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcb Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 I tested out a few this weekend worked great with every thing but some 62gr Golden Bear JHP The hollow point would occasionally catch on the area between the feed ramps. With regular ball ammo they worked great. I think they are going to be great 3-gun magazines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tattoo Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 I'm curious, I have wanted to try one of these mags, but what makes you guys think they are any better than USGI or D&H teflon aluminum mags?? T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ERIC Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Now if they come out with these in a 40 or 45 round version, that would be awsome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norbs007 Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Waiting for www.44mag.com to stock them. They are replacing it with chrome silicon springs for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcb Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Waiting for www.44mag.com to stock them. They are replacing it with chrome silicon springs for free. He's out already huh? The three I got last week were from him. The reason I think they are going to be better than USGI magazine for 3-gun is the fact that they are a polymer instead of a Aluminum. In any USPSA match its just a matter of time before someone accidentally stomps on one of you mags. These new PMAG don't dent or bend. mcb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricW Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Tried out 4 of the 5 PMags (ordered more, all that I have received so far) today. Totally flawless. They take a bit more of a bump to seat than an aluminum mag, but that's a good thing. I have been stuck on NHMTG mags, but I think I just found my new "Go To" mags. I'm totally impressed. They're not the cheapest mags on the market, but they seem to be far and away the best value when you factor in the durability. Unless there's some hidden flaw, these mags look like they'll run circles around everything else on the market. I think that the only "downside" might be weight for soldiers in the field. The mags are a tad heavier than an aluminum mag when fully loaded, and the large floorplate might cost some capacity in a mag pouch due to the extra width. It will be interesting to see how they hold up over time, particularly in the heat. I plan to leave a mag out in the truck over the summer to see if it warps at all. Now if only they make a mag for the SR-25 platform.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceghost Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 I just got 6 with the window... extra neat.. I got mine from Brownells but they sold out pretty quick. Might be worthwhile getting on the back order list as their dealer price is pretty good.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan m Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I have a few and am impressed with the quality of the product. I too have had feeding problems with hollow point though. Mine are not drop free and will therefore not be going to matches with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noah Gladstone Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I bought two to see if I liked them. I was very impressed. Took them to the range with two AR's fed without jamming and dropped free from both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 The only problem I have had is failures to feed when I have done the monopod thing with the PMAGS. I have only done it with the one rifle, so far, which is a DPMS lower with a JP upper. Otherwise, they have fed everything I have stuffed in them. I've never had this problem with GI mags in any of my AR's. Anyone else monopod off the PMAG? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricW Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Anyone else monopod off the PMAG? I had no issues. I'll try it again this week. My rifle is a stock Rock River. I'll try to remember to throw the Colt in the truck and try that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan m Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 My problem is that under tension the top round nosedives ever so slightly and non-pointed bullets get caught on the front of the mag body. This is not a problem for ball or the v-maxes that I normally compete with, but it does stop a mag loaded with smk's or my favorite hornady 75 MHPs. Nevertheless, I would feel the need to shoot the heck out of one to trust it for anything other than range work. Given the experience of everyone I have read however, I think it would work just fine. Perhaps with time the spring would relax a bit and the tension problem would sort itself out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
